Chanche MB in KB

LeoZ · 11-25-2011, 08:12 AM

Does anyone know a way to change the filesize of the ebooks mentioned in metadata window from MB into KB?? The rounding makes it difficult to check if the filesize of a ebook in the library is the same as one I want to add.

Same to me.

Not without editing the source code.

in this same arena:

What is the correct search syntax for:
size: >=0.7(M)

numeric only: search bar stays red
with Logical Range, it stays Red

BTW Minor update needed on Search Help: (the when device connected section) :

Code:

If a device is plugged in, the ondevice field becomes available (inlibrary if in a device view)

no space after the colon.

I did discover the value to use is in Bytes, not as shown in the display.

You can add a suffix to indicate a multiplier: 'k' (or 'K') multiplies the value by 1024 (a kilobyte), 'm' by 1024*1024, and 'g' by 1024**3. For example, size:>1m looks for sizes greater than 1MB (1024 * 1024).

Please, where can I add this suffix - and how?

The suffix only is used as a search term:
100000 or 100K

Please explain how can I change this - for dummies!

For you all this explanation is fine, for a beginner not.

You can't change what Calibre SHOWS. you can only ask questions (Search) using those units..

(file) Size does not matter

A poorly formatted file may be smaller. A terribly formatted (full of MS Word cruft) may be bigger.
One file may contain all the dingbats/graphics used in the print book, the other only have stark text

Two versions of the same book that appear the same on the reader, but have different file sizes need to be examined using the 'Inspect' (right-click on the 'page' showing) feature of the book viewer, to determine what is going on.

EPUB's that pass Flightcrew or EPUBcheck should carry wore weight over 'bigger'.

try the "Count Pages" (also will count words) plugin if you are concerned about those aspects.

You can't. This was asked in post 1 & 2 and answered in post 3 as follows.
