Shortened synopsis when importing metadata
Hi
I'm using Calibre 4.99.4 on Ubuntu 20.4. When I add a book or when I download the metadata the synopsis is always shortened. Is there a way to change this so I have the full summary? Thanks. |

Uninstall 4.99.4 and install the official calibre binaries from https://calibre-ebook.com/download_linux

Sorry, can't see a way to edit my post, so adding this as a comment.
I've installed the latest version of Calibre 4.22. (It did say Calibre version 4.99 in the Preferences pane). This hasn't changed anything. |

I have done this but this doesn't change anything. The summary is still truncated.

Then presumably the book you are importing has a truncated description in its metadata.

It happens with every book I add.
I get the exact same result when I use the "download metadata" function. |

I dont see how that's possible unless you are running one of the broken linux distro builds. Once again, make sure you have un-installed the distro calibre and are running calibre 4.22 it needs to say 4.22 at the bottom of the calibre window.
