specify series using calibredb
Hello,
I would like some help on how to specify the calibredb command to rewrite the series field in the metadata.db file. I have tried several variations but none of them lead to any result. In principle, this would be the syntax: add calibredb add [options] file1 file2 file3 ... --series, -s set the series of the added book(s). One of these variations was this: "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredb" add --series --with-library "E:\A" "series" "1" "series_name" Last edited by snowdog; 10-07-2022 at 02:45 AM. |

And if you want to change the series of an existing book already in the library
calibredb set_metadata --with-library "whatever" --field "series:series name [number]" |

Thank you for your quick reply. Yes, I would like to change the series name of a book that already exists in the library. If it is possible to specify the series index within same command, what is the way to do it? metadata.db file location: E:\y\A Details of the book: book id: 2483 series name: "A dzsungel veszélyes hely" series index:1 This is the order I issued: "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredb" set_metadata --with-library "E:\y\A" --field "series:A dzsungel veszélyes hely [1]" I got this error message: You must specify a record id as the first argument p.s. It worked, it was the right order: "C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredb" set_metadata --with-library "E:\y\directory\A" --field "series:A dzsungel veszélyes hely [1]" 2483 Last edited by snowdog; 10-07-2022 at 03:46 AM. |
