Merge overwrite/ignore
Does embedding the metadata in the book files keep from being overwritten in a merge?

Also, is there a way of embedding more than just the tags and modified/create date?

Merging does not touch the insides of book files, only calibre metadata in the calibre database.

What metadata is embeddable varies from format to format.

@Kovid

Thanks, I'll research this further online to see what formats support what metadata.
