Problems with the author's link

[mariaclaudia]

Ah, ok, now I understand you. However, tell me, how can I do if I add, by example, 30 epubs from 23 different authors?

You fix the ones that are bad after import.

I use an 'Intake' library just for adding new books.
Once imported, I beat the metadata into submission

Handy tools : The Quality Check PI: FIX section will help flip backwards names, format Author initials consistently (there is a template in the PI setup)

Only when done, do I use the Copy To Library: <Your Main Library> CONTEXT MENU function built into Calibre

Let's see, my English is not as good as I would like, unfortunately, so tell me if I understand your suggestion.

1. Import the books to a temporaly library, a library only for add new books.
2. Then, change de metadata I need to change, by example the order of the author name, some tags, etc.
3. Then, import the entyre temporaly library to my main library

Have I understood correctly?

1 and 2 YES

3 NO
Not Import (ADD)

Copiar a biblioteca utilizando el menú desplegable

My Spanish might get me a beer

jejeje Ok, I understand, however, when I try this idea, what about the duplicates? Because when I add the epubs, Calibre not tell me nothing about duplicates, but If I add to my main library, yes.

Preferences:adding Books: 3rd tick down will take care of that
