Metadata download - Ratings

Hattie · 07-07-2014, 09:15 AM

Two questions, please.

The latest release, 1.43, featured a bug fix, Bug #1335696, that addressed how Amazon ratings are downloaded and rounded up. Until I looked at the bug fix, I expected that this would work with Goodreads ratings as well. I like Goodreads ratings best, since there are no ratings reflecting whether the item was delivered on time, in good condition, etc, mainly just what the reader thought of the book. Is there a chance this can be implemented?

Also, is there a way to bulk update only the ratings?

Thank you!

Hattie

If the goodreads metadata download plugin passes floating point ratings to the rest of the download system it will work for goodreads as well. If not, you will need to contact that plugins author and ask them to implement it.

Preferences->metadata download allows you to configure exactly which fields are updated when downloading metadata.
