Those Plugins fetch metadata from the WWW. I don't even think those sites can even know what the Max number of books in a series is (it is a jumble, if you ever visit the Author page. Some appear in 2 (bridge series), Some books in a series are not even numbered (or are now Omnibus editions). Some get renumbered or even renamed
.
IMHO don't bother bloating your metadata with extra columns that may be wrong next random period.
Quickview (built in). Place the cursor on the Series name for a book you are interested in: Tap 'Q' That shows all the members IN YOUR LIBRARY Metadata (I sometimes add 'empty books' to track /wishlist )
I added some of MY custom columns to the Quicview VIEW (red marks) to make deciding easier
. (As you use Calibre, you will discover the amazing amount a flexibility in its design)
BTW Quickview can respect the current VL
(not done here).
#Split_series is for when they do bridge (and no PI or site is going to make this obvious) #Split off is when I used EPUB-Split PI to break up a Boxed set) #Done Read 1999 is a
flag that I have split this item. All these customs are Manual data entry. There is no Auto fill .
