I love this plugin, but had a request, if there could be an option to NOT update any isbn?
I often have set isbn's that came when I imported the book, and are the true isbn for THAT copy (ebook), having them overwritten by a metadata plugin kind of sucks because the isbn might be different in Goodreads than what I have. Perhaps an option to not update isbn if there isn't one present? |

The Goodreads plugin already does this by storing rating count and rating percentage. In its settings, you have the option to save this extra information under special identifiers (such as grvotes and grrating). Another approach can be seen in the Lubimyczytac plugin, which saves additional information (like rating, rating count, number of pages, etc.) in the Comments metadata field. After downloading, the METAmover plugin can be used to parse this extra data from the Comments field and insert it into custom columns. I've tried using similar methods in my own plugins (databazeknih.cz, legie.info, pitaval.cz and xTrance.info), where you have multiple options for where and how to store the downloaded metadata in the basic fields. For now I just use similar approach to just show info in metadata columns as described in GoodReads wiki. Or you can configure Action Chains plugin to move info between metadata fields.

As to whether calibre could be changed to support custom fields, I imagine anything is possible but that this isn’t an area Kovid has personal interest in so would require a contribution by someone else that he approves to make happen. I don’t have the time to take that on at the moment, I only barely can push out simple updates for plugins now and then. |
