Calibre Metadata question
Not sure which forum to post on,
I have many many metadata files in my Calibre folder. Do they all need to be there? Should I delete old ones and keep only the newer ones? |

![]() 1)Treat your Library as a 'Black Box'. Everything a standard user needs can and SHOULD be done via the GUI (CLI). 2)If you follow rule #1 there is no OLD metadata. Each title has a backup of the data shown in the GUI for that title. If you have been breaking Rule #1, you need to run the Library Maintenance NOW and fix the things (reported) before it gets worse ![]() |

I don't know wether this is the right thread, but I'm having trouble with my metadata. It happened after I installed the newest tools of Appr.Alf and newest update of Calibre.
For individual books it downloads the metadata, though not for all books. It doesn't download bulk metadata >4. ' Work error. Failed to connect to worker process'. I tried disabling the firewall, setting the firewall anew. Calibre is permitted to connect under the firewall. Did Library Maintenance, just in case. Got a previous version of Calibre back with my time-machine. Restarted my Macbook during these things. Does anyone know a not too complicated solution? |

![]() I haven't the faintest idea wether is was the Calibre-update or the update of the tools that makes the downloading of my metadata problematic. That will teach me not to do two different kind of updates in 5 minutes time. ![]() |
