book in csv format

cmplus · 03-15-2018, 07:48 PM

Good evening, when I save a book in csv format, the title changes, for example "a new book", when I export in csv format "a" is moved to the end. Can you avoid it? I would like to save as I display the title

I assume, you mean a CATALOG in CSV format

There is a tweak to set Library order or Strictly Alphabetical sort

AFAIK you can only Catalog the way the Library shows, but you can choose Title or Title-sort (you may have to scroll down the Tick list to find the optional field. You can re-order the list items

I do not find the option to save in csv as you say. I want to save with the face I display it, in csv format are saved but the articles before the names are moved to the end of the file name. Can you change this?

example:
"a new book", when saved in csv format is changed to "new book a"

There is no option to save a book in CSV format. There is only an option to save a list of books - i.e. a CSV catalogue within the library. When I create a CSV catalogue I don't save a library copy, I only save a copy to the desktop with a name I specify and I open it from there via the OS.

CSV is designed to represent tabular data not textual data.

There is no book I would read in CSV format.

Sorry maybe I could not explain, maybe the translator's fault. I want to save the books in csv format but the title is changed, puts the article forward to the title of the book at the end. A book called, for example: The silence of the innocents, is placed at the end of the name: silence of the innocent the. Can you make sure you save without this change?

@cmplus - When you say "save the books in csv format [files]" do you mean "add csv format [files] to the library"?

If so, then you should read the following:

Want to change folder structure or file names in the Calibre library? make sure you read the hidden text by click the Show button.

Why doesn’t calibre let me store books in my own directory structure? from the Frequently Asked Questions section of the Calibre User manual.
