[Metadata Rearrangement when adding a book]

thiago.eec · 11-09-2018, 08:13 PM

Hi everyone.

Is there a way to prevent Calibre from rearranging my opf file when I add a book to the library? It is not deleting anything, but it messes with my structure. I like to keep things grouped, like this:

Calibre insert some new info and rearranges some lines. Can the user tweak some configuration to prevent this changes?

WHat OPF file? the OPF file in the author folder in the calibre library or the OPF file inside the imported zip file?

Hi, @kovidgoyal.

It's the opf file inside the imported epub. This changes happen when I drag and drop the book to Calibre Library.

calibre does not touch files on import by itself. Do you have some third party plugins installed such as DRM removal plugins? Try disabling them and see.

Also note that when you open an epub file in the editor, byudefault its metadata, and therefore its OPF file are updated, you can turn that off in the calibre integration section of the editor preferences.

Thanks, Kovid.

That was it. It was being changed when I clicked on EDIT BOOK. I used to have this option unchecked, but I recently formated my PC and forgot about it.

Now it doesn't rearrange my entries, but it still remove blank lines I added for separating groups.

kovidgoyal · 11-11-2018, 12:15 AM

The OPF file is intended to be edited programaticaaly, you cannot really avoid having the editor ever touch it I'm araid, the best you can hope for is minimum changes.

thiago.eec · 11-11-2018, 04:01 PM

Thanks for the explanation, Kovid.

Do you have some third party plugins installed such as DRM removal plugins? Try disabling them and see. Also note that when you open an epub file in the editor, byudefault its metadata, and therefore its OPF file are updated, you can turn that off in the calibre integration section of the editor preferences.
