Download of Comments Metadata format
I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this behavior when downloading metadata into the comments (book descriptions) field. I've noticed this change when I upgraded somewhere between version 3.40.1 & 3.41.3 (I don't think I downloaded 3.41.0,.1 or .2).
In the metadata download configuration I have 'convert comments to plain text' turned ON. When the comments are loaded into Calibre from the update metadata screen the comments that are updated are truncated half way thru the comments box (a <br> is shown on the HTMLSource tab). Previous to this time, the comments would go across the whole box, therefore taking up less vertical space. If the book happened to have it's own comments, when adding the book, these extra 'line breaks' don't appear. The difference between the way the two are loaded into the comments fields is most noticeable when using the book details view on the main Calibre screen. For a short description, you now have to start scrolling to see the whole description, where previously you didn't. I hope I'm making sense... This is the Normal View from a book that I downloaded the metadata from: Spoiler:
This is the HTML Source from the same book (notice the 'br' half way thru sentences...: Spoiler:
This is a book that loaded normally with it's own descriptions, the normal view: Spoiler:
And it's HTML Source: Spoiler:
Thanks for the help ![]() |
