Thank you very much! This makes my (e-book) life easier!

I have kept testing your plugin and I’ve also found that I can’t make it work for automatic imports. Should it work if there are other plugins that also process metadata when importing a new book file? I already have GetFileName and Action Chains working together so I can get some of my custom columns filled when importing new books.

Yes, it works with GetFileName or Action Chains. Beside, ePub Extended Metadata is called before them.

I also resolve the bug that make the plugin fail.

Thanx again! Now it works like a charm.

Hi, is it possible to read/write dc:creator as well, or is it only working for contributors?

[un_pogaz]

Only contributors. The Calibre behavior is that any dc:creator are imported as "Authors".

For me, <dc:creator id="creator2"> doesn't get shown in Authors tab in calibre (unless I edit the opf itself) which causes issues when sending books to device that does show creators as authors. But ty for letting me know; hoping to find a plugin that somehow fixes this.

Just installed, defined a new custom column and tried to configure the plugin. Then:

Hmm, can you please restart calibre in debug mode, sub-menu of the preference button, reproduce the bug and then send here a copy of the text that will open after closing Calibre (or the all text file)
