ISBN Updating
My DB "ISBN" file is corrupted and I would like to delete this data and then run the Extract ISBN Plugin to refresh the data. How do I delete the existing ISBN Data ? and should I? Am I correct saying that the "Identifiers" field shows all the publishers of a particular book and I should delete this field data as well before running the plugin?
Perhaps I should just go back to reading my books! ![]() ![]() |

Here's how to do it with search & replace: However, in Calibre 5.15 there will be an option to delete an identifier from the tag browser. It's already available when running from source. ![]() Quote:

All rebuilt , The library Mtce , check library came back as all ok however I used restore DB after reinstalling Calibre and bingo 80% odd ISBN Data was fixed, Then I ran the extract ISBN Plugin and it filled in most of the missing details. A small number is left 2% however they are from older authors so I can live with that. Now to add 2 columns To be read and Read. I suspect that the Calibre app was corrupted and reinstalling it helped. I didn't do a clean reinstall which worried me .

I would suggest using a single column with multiple fixed values instead of multiple columns for your To be read and Read values.
