MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Plugin to update Kobo Plus series/subseries info?

A bit odd. I generate a dummy book for each Kobo Plus book, update the metadata and let calibre update the metadata on my Kobos. Seems to work as expected on firmware V4 and lower. V5 firmware has it's own oddities but that is not a worry as yet. I don't use the subtitle field for anything other than the occasional book with a subtitle worth keeping. The only time I use the Kobo Utilities to update the metadata is those sadly common occasions when I manage to require a factory reset.

I've attached a screenshot of a set of Kobo Plus books and also a set of random books with subtitles. You will notice the Kobo Plus books have the series numbering as 1-3 for instance which is a template that sets that for omnibus editions instead of 1.03.
