			Hi,  There is a way to replace the pdf, cbr... file of a book entry in calibre. I plan to add annotation on files (pdf as a start) using my reader and then reimport the modified file. I can achieve this with "add books /add files to selected book records". Fowolling this, I will create a text file with comments for a particular record. Is there a way to import text from a file in the comments section of an record ? This would really be useful. Thank you for your advices. |

			Assuming you mean import in bulk (i.e. many books) try the Import List plugin ==>> Index of plugins BR |

			Thank you but I finally switch to writing my own plugin. Even if I lack finding a reference manual of existing classes/methods/attributes |
