Dumb Question - Display Metadata

thatguyatdennys · 11-24-2013, 01:16 PM

I've attempted to search for the information I need, but I'm not exactly sure what to search for other than "display metadata". So sorry if this has been asked before.

My problem is dumb: How do I get the metadata to display on the main library screen underneath the cover?

I recently (yesterday) installed calibre on a freshly reformatted computer and noticed metadata in the library view was missing...So I started downloading metadata again until I noticed it was actually already there...Just not being shown in the main library.

See attachment for what I mean. I'm sure it is an easy fix, but I've never had to "fix" this before. It has always just been there.

Thanks for any response.

Are the fields populated in the spreadsheet?
Preferences:Look and Feel: Book Details (that is the pane you are looking at).
Tick what you want to see there

Ha! YES! That worked. Strange that I have never had to mess with that in the past on any of the other computers I've installed Calibre on. Thanks, man.
