@DaltonST,

Your updated Import CSV looks good, I might try it.

I did have a question, or request.

I have been using the Quality Fixes on the titles/series, but I wanted to know if there is a way of ommitting certain words from Title Casing, and certain symbols from being deleted.

Books with "&" in the title or series have been getting the symbol deleted. I hate having to hunt around for books that are missing that symbol if I used the fix.

Also, I would like to be specific on words to title case. If there is a space before the words "The", "And", "Of", and "To" I don't want them to be title cased. I currently have been doing find and replace, but it would be helpful if they weren't changed. A space before it means that it is in the title, but not the first word. So, I don't mind it being title cased, but if it is in the middle of a title, it should be lowercased.

Thanks in advance if you can tell me how to fix it or if you make a change in the plugin.

Yes, and the advanced title-casing logic in my Q&S add-on/plug-in does that (and much more) based on English grammar rules, since Q&S is designed specifically for English (only). However, JS does only a simple title-casing like standard Calibre does since the English grammar rules often break non-English titles, which is unacceptable. What I will do is copy the Q&S logic to JS, and then add an option to use either it or the standard (simple) title-casing.

Books with "&" in the title or series have been getting the symbol deleted.

Remember that the #orig_title column has each book's original title before changing. It exists so you can easily see before then after fixing. I put the #orig_authors and #orig_title columns next to the real columns. When I move the fixed and clean books from my WorkBench Library to my pristine Library, those custom columns are excluded automatically by another JS tool's customization option to do so.

I will add an #orig_series column capability too. I have never needed it.

The "&" symbol in a matching pattern is likely deleted by one of the regular expressions defined in JS Customization. I used over 500 test books with trashed-out metadata of all types to build those rules, plus hundreds of "clean" books to refine the rules. Nevertheless, sometimes a book gets "overcleaned", which is why I have the #orig_authors and #orig_title automatically populated if you define them per JS Customization so that they can easily be copied over the "overcleaned" values.

Q about Customize Tag Browser Icons:

Is it not possible to assign icons to subgroups?

Thanks!

See the attached example.

Icons can be assigned by Category, Source and Value. If a subgroup is defined as a Source, then you can assign an icon to that "subgroup". If a subgroup is a Sub-Category, then, no.

Standard Calibre only allows you to assign icons at the Category level, and nothing below that at all.

I'm trying to rebuild my main library from raw sources. I'm exporting mobi-asin, title, authors, series, series_index to csv, then using GUI Tool "Import CSV to Update Metadata" to match on mobi-asin. Is there any way to update series_index in the library from the csv file?

Thanks - will play with custom column to create a <series>[<series_index>] datum to export for metadata transfer

@DaltonST,

Thank you for the English title casing! I can't believe how quickly you got that on the plugin. I have to say that I always look forward to your updates!

How many of the plugins are yours?

'Entities Manager' was the 15th (and final). Now it is 'just' enhancing them and making them Python3 Calibre compatible (to the extent I can without having any Python3 Calibre to test with).

Well, I must say that you have greatly improved my Calibre Library!
