Metadata Quality Plugin idea
Hi readers
The most annoying thing if you import a folder of books is to quality check the metadata. So my idea would be: First step: check the author name against Amazon/wiki/bol whatever. If the author name is valid mark it as valid in a user defined field. Second step: check the titles of the marked authors against Amazon/wiki/bol whatever. If the title is valid as well mark the book as valid in the user defined field. Third step: move the valid Books from the import database to a valid database.( That's the way i do it manually. At the valid database i do all the other quality checks like case and so on. If i'm happy with the result I move everything to my 100% database) From my experience 80% of the books are valid and to handle the leftovers would be much easier and quicker. What do you think? regards Matze |

Matze: See the existing plug-in/add-on at: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=247425 It currently comes with a database of over 20,000 valid authors in all of their name variations, and that database can dynamically be updated automatically by you for authors that you consider 100% valid for a fact certain. Its workflow already is what you describe, and is shown in a diagram within the plug-ins User Guide (attached to the OP). It also currently comes with a database of:
Its Original Post has many resource attachments for you to peruse, including the User Guide. It is not a "tool bag", but rather a set of tools that are designed to be used in a mostly predefined sequence. The menu ToolTips plus the User Guide explain what the sequence is. The plug-in is not appropriate for everyone. The OP states what type of user would be successful using it, and conversely, the types of users who should not even install it or try to use it. Good luck. DaltonST |

Maybe I missed it but if you have duplicates of books you need to display them so duplicates can be quickly removed, as they don't show on calibre but put it on your reader and loads of duplicates

I would like to request for a plugin that does the same as or similar to FootnoteLinker Sigil plugin for the Editor.

Check out Doitsu's Sigil plugin thread, there have been some 'developments' that may make it possible

Hopefully, another Calibre plugin developer will convert it for nqk or write an even better one. |

download information from http://www.drivethrurpg.com
Hi,
I've got a stack of pdfs that I've purchased from http://www.drivethrurpg.com . The problem is that the documents have very little in the way of metadata stored in them which means it's a very laborious task to try and ensure that all the information in Calibre is correct. I notice that the product description text appears to be contained within this html tag: Quote:

The website that sells the role-playing games has a complete description for each pdf that could easily be copied and pasted into the Calibre comments. The site also has more metadata, such as the authors, pages, artists and published date that could easily be copied as well.
