Export the rules to filter/transform

PowerOffliner · 05-09-2020, 06:46 AM

Hello,
I am looking for "saving the rules to disk".
Where? Function to change or filter tags when opening the editor of a book.

Does anybody know how to save the rules which transform the tags given to an ebook byplatforms like amazon?
I want to save the setting of ruels to a disk file.
But the only way to save is a button without asking for a file name. It may be stored in calibre, but where?

Thank you in advance.
Kai

Calibre saves stuff in either of 2 places depending on:

Library specific (eg contains custom columns, and other rules that wold fail if used with a different Library (structure) ) IN the LIBRARY'S metadata.db

Per User preferences (not Library specific): The configuration folder.
This include plugins (some of their settings are also Library specific, so the settings may be in both places)

This 'duality' is why you should probably do a backup of the configuration folder along with a Library backup any configuration change.

Assuming you're on Windows, I think you want to back up this file:

%UserProfile%\AppData\Roaming\calibre\tag-map-rules.json
