Libra 2 Atuomatically add books to Series or collection?

Ansem_93 · 07-06-2023, 07:10 PM

Hi everyone!
I have a Kobo Libra 2 update to the latest firmware. I added every book without any issues with the latest Calibre release!
My only issue is: I have every book in categorized with the correct Series, but when I add them in my Kobo I don't know how to automaticcaly put them int a "series" or "collection" folder.
Can someone tell me how I can do that?

If you update the metadata in Calibre, it should come over to the Kobo the same way.

Are you using the predefined Series and # metadata? And double checking exact Series Name including CaSe? (Honestly not sure about case...but still)

And just for good measure doing a Polish or conversion after updating the Metadata?

If the series shows in Calibre, after you add the books and eject. Then plug the Kobo back in and let Calibre update the metadata and eject it again. You should see series and collections on your Kobo.

Hi !
I added the books to my Kobo, disconnected it and the connected again but I don't have any collection/series automatically created.
Do I have to set up something there?

EDIT: After updating the settings it now creates collection automatically!
I created a template that use "{authors} - {series}", but I noticed that it create a collection regardless that the book is in a series so I have " Anthony - " as collection name.
It's possible to make something like:
If {series}=true then "{authors} - {series}" ELSE {Single books}
?

kindly see my image of configurations attached. Hope it helps

In calibre's preferences under Sending books to device, do you have metadata management set to automatic management. And I wouldn't bother with using Collections to handle series since a Kobo has the tools to display and search series. The only collection I current use is one for finished books.
