Can someone explain me the concept of embedding metadata ?
...Or point me to a good tutorial, please ? I searched in Calibre help and in the forum here, and found nothing.
What is "embedding metadata" in Calibre ? Why should one want to do it ? Why should one not do it ?
I was ignorant of the concept, until I came across the plugin Polish Books and the tool Embed Metadata. Confusion ensued : isn't the whole point of Calibre to embed metadata ? Doesn't metadata get embedded as soon as you change it in the main window ?
Testing it on a few books, I changed things like the title in the main window, then applied the Edit Book command. Opening the content.opf file, I could see the changes in the title right there. So, isn't that... "embedded" ?
