Metadata download
Hello to all,
I'ld like to know if it's possible to change one font from the configuration metadata download window (or add a new one), for example I need to download metadata from www.amazon.it, instead that from Douban Books or Ozon.ru.
Many thanks, bye.
Gianni

Configure download button appears on the Metadata editor page or the Ctrl-D (download form)

Adjust settings to taste. (many sources include nested settings so you can cherry pick. Series from Y, Tags from B...)

Hello theducks,
thanks for your reply.
I already done this, in fact in the configuration metadata download window, I choose Italy for website amazon to use. But I don't understand why the program have some problem to parse data, as you can see in the attached log file, the parsed data are:
Dalla-terra-alla-Jules-Verne
I tried to connect on the site www.amazon.it with the correct data:
Dalla-terra-alla-luna-Jules-Verne
and it worked fine.
I still believe that if it were left to the users to add new sites in the configuration window of metadata download, the program would be much more flexible. But maybe this just depends from Kovid.

New websites need new rules to parse metadata, it isn't as simple as letting users enter a website address.

Maybe the Italy website needs to be special-cased.


...


Can you post that log inline, please?

Just copy it and post it inside [CODE][/CODE] tags.
