Copy to Library Function Missing

Goshawk · 08-19-2016, 02:39 AM

Hi Everyone

I have been using Calibre for a while now, using it on various projects for client files and such. Brilliant program.

After updating to version 2.64, many features seem to be missing/changed. One of these is the "copy to library" button/option in the right-click context menu. I checked the "customize toolbars" settings, and the button shows that it should be there, except its not.

Has this feature been removed?

Additionally, i would also like to know if one can use a csv file to change the metadata of existing books in the library through an import? I am looking at the "Import List" plugin, but it's "next" button gets greyed out when i specify custom column numbers.

Any help is greatly appreciated

I saw this the other day. It was on a installation that only had one known library. When I added a new library, "copy to library" appeared. So, do you have more than one library and does calibre know about them?

Suggest you create a post in the Import List plugin thread ==>> https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=187831

With screen shots of the CSV Tab and what you have in Fields

Hi

Thanks for the reply..

Yes that was the problem - only one library was set up in calibre. All the buttons magically reappeared once i added a second one.

Thanks
