Thank you very much! This makes my (e-book) life easier!

I have kept testing your plugin and I’ve also found that I can’t make it work for automatic imports. Should it work if there are other plugins that also process metadata when importing a new book file? I already have GetFileName and Action Chains working together so I can get some of my custom columns filled when importing new books.

[un_pogaz]

Yes, it works with GetFileName or Action Chains. Beside, ePub Extended Metadata is called before them.

I also resolve the bug that make the plugin fail.

Thanx again! Now it works like a charm.

Hi, is it possible to read/write dc:creator as well, or is it only working for contributors?

[un_pogaz]

Only contributors. The Calibre behavior is that any dc:creator are imported as "Authors".

For me, <dc:creator id="creator2"> doesn't get shown in Authors tab in calibre (unless I edit the opf itself) which causes issues when sending books to device that does show creators as authors. But ty for letting me know; hoping to find a plugin that somehow fixes this.

Just installed, defined a new custom column and tried to configure the plugin. Then:

Hmm, can you please restart calibre in debug mode, sub-menu of the preference button, reproduce the bug and then send here a copy of the text that will open after closing Calibre (or the all text file)

Hmm, I see where the problem is coming from, your custom columns #mm_annotations are technically malformed, wich is very strange because it should never happen.
So, how was this column created? By another plugin? Or is it a very old library and herefore a very old columns? And how does it render in Calibre? Plain text or HTML?

In any case, I add here a test version with a fix, please can you confirm that it work now? thanks.

[un_pogaz]

Version with the fix released.

Your assumptions were both right. The column come from the Annotations plugin that I'm using since a long time ago. The column renders as HTML.

Damn it, my fix is assumption of plain text. Push a new one.
Thanks for the reply and the report, realy bad timing on my side, have a nice day.

Hi,

I downloaded a book from standard ebooks and then tried to import the translator metadata using this plugin, but it did not work.
After some investigation I found that the book contains multiple fields tagged to one entry,

For example:
<meta property="role" refines="#translator" scheme="marc:relators">ann</meta>
<meta property="role" refines="#translator" scheme="marc:relators">trl</meta>
<meta property="role" refines="#translator" scheme="marc:relators">wpr</meta>

But if I edit the opf file and make it like this:
<meta property="role" refines="#translator" scheme="marc:relators">trl</meta>

It works correctly. Can you help me in making this plugin work without editing the opf file for each book?

You can't! The code of ePub Extended Metadata will make that only the last entry of "marc:relators" will be accepted.

When I create the plugin, my assumptions was that only one "marc:relators" can be accepted by ids of "dc:contributor", but I admit that now that I look at it, it was a pretty dump assumption.

Can you test the version attached to see if my fix work and that you can now import several "marc:relators" by "dc:contributor"?
