Where are modified tags stored
Just a question: where are modified tags stored ? Are they stored in the original file or inside the DB ?

I'm not sure what a "modified tag" is. As far as calibre is concerned, tags are stored as a comma separated string of individual tags. Last edited by Starson17; 05-17-2010 at 03:53 PM. |

It is important for me to know if the files are physically modified.
I want to check other import with the duplicate finder I always use. Giuseppe Chillemi |

Perhaps it would be easiest to just test and see if it's modified under the conditions of interest? |

I am in the process of importing ebooks into calibre.
Ebooks are PDF and LIT. After importing the files I modify the tittle and/or author inside the calibre GUI. I whish to know if at this point the Metadata of the physical files are modified too since I want to check the stored files against new imports. As I have already writte I use a program called CSPY (clone spy) to check if there are physical duplicates. If editing the tags change the pshysical files too I have to use another approach.

I know of no situation where changing metadata in the main library will cause one of the book formats to change.
That being said, I agree with starson17. You should test to be sure that your use case behaves in the way that you expect. |
