Update CONTENT.OPF. Use metadata fr calibreDB

GOROW · 04-13-2021, 12:34 PM

Hello.

After updating and cleaning the metadata in the catalog I have the problem to update the content.opf file in the corresponding .Epub file.
Does somebody know a way (a program) that can update the epub-file with values from Title, title_sort, AUTHOR and author-sort from the calibre-catalog in a similar way as calibredb does.
GUI seems to be the wrong solution.
Thanks for hints.
Regards

That is what Embed is supposed to do.
EMBED what is in the Library view into the book
IIRC Launching the Editor (T), can get these as well, BUT you must SAVE your edit session.

The Editor save, also recalculates the {Size} (which can change because of edits, font file or image changes)
