Flagging books copied between libriaries
When copying books between libraries, is there any way to add tags, and or mark books like you can do when you add books automatically? I would like to be able to identify them and work with them when I'm done merging. I'm wondering if I'm missing something. I don't want to use the date because I want it copied over as is.
Thanks for the help.

You can have a tag set on newly added books which IIRC also applies to books copied to another library. Or maybe you can setup an action chain for it, havent tried.

Should be possible to make a chain that adds the tag and then runs a Calibre action to copy to a specified library, but haven't actually tested myself (I only run one library).

I have my main library already set up to apply a tag and mark books when they are automatically added from the dedicated folder. That works great. When I copy a book into my main library from a working library, the tags, nor marking happen when using the copy to library function.


I've never used the action chain function. I'll have to investigate it. Could someone point me to instructions?

See the Action Chains thread in the Plugins subforum.

There is also an Action Chains Resources thread in that subforum.
