Identify books that couldn't be indexed?

mikhail_fil · 07-24-2023, 11:17 AM

Is there a log that shows which books couldn't be indexed for whatever reason? I am more concerned with whole files being skipped. Usually indexers produce a log of skipped pages or documents.
Thank you!

There is no reason for a book to be unindexable other than it not being in a format calibre can convert. While there isnt any UI for this as far as I recall, you can query the database using sqlite directly for books with err_msg not empty in the books_text table.
