So right now, I've got a LOT of books that show no formats available when I am on the edit metadata screen, and also on the small details pane below the book list when I select a book. But when I search for format:false, None of those show up in the results. Clearly, the 'in memory' database is out of sync with whatever Calibre looks at to populate the details pane. How can I fix that? Do I just need to uninstall calibre and re-install it? Or would it still see the old data files and end up with the same issue? If I do re-install, is all the work I've done on correcting metadata for books going to be lost, or does calibre save the changes in the original ebook when I make changes? |

For once, I hope I can help someone. I was trying to convert an epub book I had decrypted. I had used Calibre to convert such books to mobi format in the past. But this time I was getting an error message that it was an unknown format. I renamed the book "book.epub" (it had some extra stuff, book.xx.decrypted.epub),and it worked like a charm.

Noticed an odd alphabetization issue when ordering books by title (v0.6.5).
* Books that begin with "The " alphabetize by the second word (as they should). * Books that begin with "Thexxx" (e.g., There, Theory, or Theme) alphabetize correctly by the first word, whatever it happens to be. * Books that begin with "The Thexxx" alphabetize by the "xxx". The "The" is removed twice. For example, "The Theory of Atlantis" will alphabetize as "ory of Atlantis" rather than "Theory of Atlantis". The same exact pattern/error occurs with titles beginning with "A Axxx" (which is improper English, but still) and with "An Anxxx". |

I know this is not currently an option, but would it be possible to add the ability to export the meta-data list? Something simple like CSV or tab delimited would be fine. Even just author and title would be extremely useful.

Ticket opened: 3083:
When I generate an ePub file from txt documents that don't have a proper cover/title page, calibre now generates a xhtml file with the title (h1) and author (h2) and "produced by calibre" (h4). It actually looks nice :-) but the h1, h2 and h4 headings are not resized properly on the prs505 and they take up so much space that the title is often not even visible on the screen and goes beyond the edges. I tried remapping the font key to take care of this, but it seems that the font key mapping size is not applied to this xhtml. |

In my case I had no way to get anything to stick to these specific books, I could re-add formats, but they wouldn't save. I suspect completely deleting the book and re-adding will work. Since the query doesn't work I've resorted to clicking through the books in the list one-by-one to see which don't report having formats. I took a glance at these books in a SQL database viewer. Nothing jumped out on the first check, but I'll look again. Last edited by ldolse; 08-05-2009 at 01:37 AM. |

@ldolse, The available formats should be read from the metadata by the formts function in library.database2.
@gai-jin, @ldolse, Can one of you create a bug for this and attach your metadata.db file? |

I'll look at that code, though I'm probably not going to be much help for this. Note for these books it refuses to acknowledge any formats. They were originally put in the book directory by Calibre .5, so there's no issues with naming, etc there. Attempting to manually add a specific type of source file in the edit metadata dialog does nothing.
I'll go ahead and open a bug and attach my metadata.db. edit: bug is here: http://calibre.kovidgoyal.net/ticket/3092 Last edited by ldolse; 08-06-2009 at 11:26 AM. |
