Is there a way to move a tag from 1 column to another? Based on what comes before or after a character?

"Move" = "Copy" then "Delete Original". Attached is the "Copy" part using Bulk Metadata Edit Search & Replace.

Couldn't it be a more generic thing to search for like in my screenshot, that way I could use it on more than one thing.

I figured out how to move tags from one column to another.

Could you in the scrubbing feature add a condition that if, in tag rules, the tag is the same in the oldtag and newtag just leave it be? Because as it is now, it gets deleted.

When I add a bunch of fandoms from Archive of our own, it's difficult to keep track of any of them is matching what I want it to become.

That's exactly what regex is for. This should be a thread on Library Management, though, and not in Job Spy plugin.

Assuming format is:
something something>something something something

Search

(.*)>(.*)

Replace

\1

results in "something something"

\2

results in "something something something"

\1, \2

results in "something something, something something something" (this gets split into two tags)

Version 1.0.142 - 2019-02-27 Tag Scrubbing Table "Tag Rules": ignore any rule that attempts to change a Tag to itself, regardless of differing capitalization of the Old Tag and New Tag.

Remember that Calibre does not allow leading and trailing blank spaces in Tags, so Tag Rules that are uploaded by .csv will be stripped of any leading and trailing blank spaces automatically by JS, possibly resulting in redundant Tag Rules that do nothing.


The JS Tag Scrubbing Audit Log will not show the above ignored rules, but the Debug Log will (if you are interested).

When I run the scrub rules for tags, it doesn't scrub tags which has " in the tag to begin with.

Example:

Buffy "Vampire Slayer" Summers

is supposed to be:

Buffy Summers

but stays the same.

Example:

Existing Fandoms:
Matlock (TV)*
Maude (TV)*
McMafia (TV)*
Me & Mrs Jones (TV)*
Men in Trees*
Men Only (TV)*
Métal Hurlant Chronicles*

What I want it to be in the new version:

Misc. TV>Matlock (TV)*
Misc. TV>Maude (TV)*
Misc. TV>McMafia (TV)*
Misc. TV>Me & Mrs Jones (TV)*
Misc. TV>Men in Trees*
Misc. TV>Men Only (TV)*
Misc. TV>Métal Hurlant Chronicles*

I looked at the Combination Rule but I couldn't figure out how it worked.

I hope this makes sense.

You don't need Combination Rules for this. Just regular Tag Rules. What's the asterisk (*) for, though? Is it actually a part of the tag or is that supposed to be a wildcard?

"oldtag","newtag","purgetag"
"Matlock (TV)","Misc. TV>Matlock (TV)"
"Maude (TV)","Misc. TV>Maude (TV)"

There is also a js_tag_prefix_suffix_rules table.

The example .csv file in ...calibre\config\plugins\job_spy\resources, _js_tag_prefix_suffix_rules.txt, contains:

"regex","prefix","suffix"
"^Romance","Fiction:",""
"^Food","Cooking:",""
"^Calculus","Mathematics:",""

Regex is required. Prefix is optional, as is suffix. One must exist, though.

Lol, I've forgotten about that. I've been using Tag Rules exclusively.

Question, in what order are the rules applied? I know I've seen it before but for the life of me, I can't remember where I found the info.

JS menu path for tag scrubbing has tooltips, and the execution item has an "all" option that mentions optimal sequence if limited to a single pass. Up to you, really.

Yeah, I run them one by one at the moment. I was wondering what the order was for the optimal sequence.
