I apologize if this has been asked before…

Is there a way to retrieve the metadata for tags ONLY from a file(s) most times my older romance books are being classified as unusable searches for me “Contemporary” “Romance” etc., which is what is being pulled from our current metadata plugins. There are instances where I may want to retrieve the original tag information from the file WITHOUT changing the comment(s), titles, series, authors, etc…

And

My second request is there a way to get the metadata for tags from “Romance.io” I noticed the tags are listed in two separate sections. Upon investigation I noticed that sometimes the two sections representing tags are not always the same. With the introduction of the new tags, I may have a little more leeway than a tag that says “romance’ or heaven forbid “paranormal romance”. If I could pull the consolidated data, I could then use the tag management system to customize.

Thanks for any guidance, these questions may be me not knowing where to look within Calibre.

Side Note: I love the program!!!!!
