Simple enhancement request

al1cre · 07-09-2012, 02:43 PM

It seems as though half the time when I bring an ebook into Calibre the author and title fields are swapped. It's not a big deal if I'm just adding one or two books, but it's a pain when I add a series of books.

Would it be possible to add a button that will swap these two fields ?

There already is - in two places. For a single book, it is the green icon with the two white arrows on it on the left on the edit metadata dialog. Or in bulk, select multiple books, hit E, and tick the "Swap title and author" checkbox that is just underneath the Author(s) dropdown.

Plus don't forget you can change your regular expression so you don't get them the wrong way around in the first place
