Minor calibredb nit pick

phossler · 10-02-2025, 09:58 AM

When copying files, the 'progress bar' math seems to be off by 1

i.e. 100% (619/620)

I use calibre to copy KFX books to a single flat folder, and same for ePub books

I can't figure out where the 620 comes from in the progress bar since in both cases there are not 620 books copied??

what actual command are you running?

phossler · 10-02-2025, 03:28 PM

I have a Win10 VBS that copies ePubs to a flat folder and renames it as

"Terry Pratchett-Discworld[01]-Colour of Magic, The.epub"

Code:

calibredb  export --progress --all --dont-save-cover --dont-write-opf --format epub --dont-update-metadata --single-dir --template "{authors}-{series}{series_index:0>2s|[|]-}{title}" --to-dir "D:\eBooks\ePub"

Similar one for KFX

I only have 620 books, 543 ePubs and 222 KFXs, with some books in both formats, since I like to work with ePub in the editor and convert to KFX to side load to my Kindle. I find it's easier for me with the template renaming the file

That's just rounding. 619/620 is 99.8% but the display is to nearest integer which in this case is 100

that was my second guess

Thanks - I checked and I was pretty sure that all files of the specified type got copied
