Does not reproduce for me.
Code:
ebook-meta --series testme t.pdf Original metadata:: Title : xxxaaa Title sort : xxxaaa Author(s) : R. Z. Bottema O. & Djordjevic Published : 0101-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 Changed metadata:: Title : xxxaaa Title sort : xxxaaa Author(s) : R. Z. Bottema O. & Djordjevic Series : testme #1 Published : 0101-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 |

Ok. I see you try with standard column.
Can you please reconfirm it works with custom column also? Here my examples: First (without changes) Title : v3_demo- Title sort : v3_demo- Author(s) : Unbekannt Book Producer : PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2 Published : 0101-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 Identifiers : crc32:52368 CRC32 : 52368 Mein Titel : old Ja/Nein : Ja Secound (with changes and "Embed metadata" button) Title : v3_demo- Title sort : v3_demo- Author(s) : Unbekannt Book Producer : PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2 Published : 0101-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 Identifiers : crc32:52368 CRC32 : 52368 Mein Titel : old Ja/Nein : Ja Third (with changes and "Interface Demo Plugin" button) Title : v3_demo- Title sort : v3_demo- Author(s) : Unbekannt Book Producer : PScript5.dll Version 5.2.2 Published : 0101-01-01T00:00:00+00:00 Identifiers : crc32:52368 CRC32 : 52368 Mein Titel : meta All these results are with this Preferences (pic 001,002,003) |

OK. I see you read the metadata from the opf and not direct from pdf. Right?
How look your solution from ebook-meta file.pdf One more thing i see is, with "Embed metadata" button i don't get a message, with "Interface Demo Plugin" button i get a message. See pics 008,009 |

One more thing i see or find out
Its a different how the pdf was imported If you Drag&Drop the PDF and you have follow Perferences, the functions from the Buttons looks equal (Pic010) If i Drag&Drop a PDF with Preferences like Pic003, the functions of the Buttons are different. I am not shure is my fault or is a bug. |

thx again for spent your time. Maybe i really missunderstood the function.
But why, with the one Button it writes the changed data direct to PDF or i can see the changes direct after push the button and why with the other button i get a different response in my PDF (no data changes)? This is what i don't understand. If the function is the same, i think i must get with both buttons the same solutions. Right? |

- The function in Calibre is used when adding a PDF document to the library; it retrieves the Author-Title-... from the metadata of the added PDF document OR extracts it from the file name and records it in the Calibre database. - The function in the plugin works with a document that is already in the library. If you edit the metadata in library, it is automatically saved to the database, and this plugin also writes it directly into the PDF file in the Calibre directory. If you don't use the plugin but want to have the metadata directly in the PDF file, set it in "Save to Disk" and then save the file to your disk. This is not written into the PDF file in the Calibre directory! |
