Book catalog without thumbnail covers
Can I create a catalog with descriptions but no thumb covers?
Tried setting thumb width = 0, impossible I tried calibredb.exe but did not find the correct parameter. Maybe you know some way? |

I have looked at 'calibredb --list' and 'calibredb catalog --help'. Unfortunately, I can't find myself. I wanted to make a catalog:
calibredb.exe catalog listebooks.epub --with-library "D: \ Books \ e-Books \ New books" --generate-authors --generate-descriptions -- ??? I do not know what to add, so that the catalog does not contain a cover thumbs. Will you help? Sorry for my English Last edited by silatiw; 07-22-2022 at 04:16 PM. |

There are a few Polish speakers that frequent here. They may step in (please)
I think you do NOT want to use --catalog. It has thumbnails ALWAYS --list --fields (to include) --sort (how sorted) You direct the result into a file (foo.CSV) Code:
calibredb list --with-library "C:\Users\BigHD\Public2\MainLib" -f title,authors > foo.csv |

I think the OP should create a CSV catalog using a command like
Code:
calibredb catalog foo.csv --fields=title,comments |

Thank you very much for help.
My idea was to create an .epub file without thumbnails, but thanks to you I found out that it is unfortunately impossible. |

This worked well. I created a CSV with title & comments, added it to CSVFileView, turned on "Allow multi-line", then saved it in HTML vertical format. I then added the HTML file to calibre and converted it to EPUB. Voila -- a nicely formatted list of books.

For that kind of catalog there is a template which can be adjusted. I do it, to get one book per page. You should be able to delete the image from the template. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=118556 |

I created a catalog in an .epub file with no thumbnails By editing the files (.css, .xhtml), you can create your own catalog view in the .epub file MobileRead is great. Katja_hgb thank you very much. |
