How do I rename a library? - Page 3

Adoby · 02-12-2021, 12:37 PM

Today I have more than one library. Partly for performance reasons and partly because it allows me to have slightly different metadata.

My three main libraries:

Fiction - Novels, almost only epub
Non-fiction - Mix of epub and PDF.
Periodicals - Almost only PDF.

Inside these libraries I have several virtual libraries for different genres and topics.

I don't use calibre to read. Only to organize and send to devices. I then use the functionality of the e-reader software to search and navigate to find what to read.

I have a destination folder structure on a NAS. That is what I maintain as the "device" in calibre. And then I sync the e-book storage folders on the reading devices with the folder structure on the NAS, whenever I add or change something.

Scroll thru---
That is what Tagging is about. Tag with GOOD subjects when adding (and ditch the 47 subject homonyms many Authors load the OPF with)
Multiple tags was a holdover from PAPER Card Catalogs (remember those) that needed cross referencing .

eg. Calibre can find any tag with Werewolf, no matter what combination it is with.
Clean your tags up. Calibre can help
For example: I use the Tag mapper to clean up the 42 different ways Science Fiction was coded.
Or just use Manage Tags: and fix/remove the obvious as you scroll.
(

remember your 'fixes' are not automatically embedded into the books. If you are in the habit of using the OS to copy: Use one of the other tools to force the BOOKS to update.
