Plugin for copying short bibliography?

Ugur · 04-25-2020, 08:36 AM

(I posted this several minutes ago, but cannot find it in the thread list, so again.)

Is there a plugin that allows me to copy a short bibliographic summary for a selected book? A summary like this: "David Allen (2001): Getting things Done".

The only thing I can see is the menu "Edit Metadata" > "Copy metadata". But that copies way too many infos.

Try adding the Create Catalogue tool to a toolbar or menu, the CSV option may do the trick.

That works. Thanks! Although it creates a file, and I would prefer to have a "copy to clipboard". But again, thanks.

For one book use the Edit Metadata>Copy Metadata option, mine has a shortcut of Ctrl+C and Paste Metadata has Ctrl+V, you get something like this in the clipboard

Code:

Title               : Calibre: Quick Start Guide
Title sort          : Calibre: Quick Start Guide
Author(s)           : John Schember [Schember, John]

Wow, that's awesome! I am overwhelmed

Is there a way to create a keyboard shortcut for that menu entry?
