Metadata download no longer includes tags

On many download requests Calibre gets cover and description but no tags

Check your configuration
On the Metadata Edit screen: click the Configure download button
On the next screen there are 2 levels that affect Tags (and others)
The lack of a Tick next to tags says NO TAGS, regardless of how the configured sources are set
Each source also has settings

Select an ENABLED source: Click the button Configure Selected sources
note: not all sources have Tags (or other values)

Whether tags are downloaded or not depends on whether the metadata sources have tags or not. It is fairly variable, for instance, some amazon books have tags some do not, some have them loaded only via javascript on the page, in which case, calibre wont be able to fetch them.

Why tags download only after second click on "Download metadata"? fufu42 Library Management 2 12-08-2012 12:08 PM
