Update of file size

Massreader · 10-11-2013, 08:23 AM

Hi,

I often delete pages in pdf-files if I don't need them.
This means that after saving the file size is smaller.
Now I would like to have a function in Calibre to update the file size which is shown. Is there a way to do so?

Now I found this thread:

I tried the Quality Check plugin ("Fix" -"Check an repair book sizes"), but it doesn't work (V1.98 with Calibre 1.6).
For example a file with now 8 MB is still shown with 115 MB, but the plugin says "All book format sizes are correct".

The displayed size is the size of the largest format belonging to the book.

But there is only one book-format (pdf), so the largest format should be 8 MB.

So no more help?

If the quality check plugin does not work, then the only way to update the size if you change it outside of calibre is to re-add the pdf file to the book record. You can do this by right clicking the add books button and selecting add files to selected books.

Tap 'o' to look into the folder to be sure there is not something else (big) hiding there.

There is a slight possibility you have a 'Duplicate of the title and you are looking at the other one
