Tags rule when adding book

dunhill · 02-17-2024, 07:41 PM

I'm racking my brain

to find a way to ensure that when adding a book it doesn't load the tags but does load the rest of the metadata.
Could you guide me?

No help for this. If the tags are IN the book, Calibre uses them.
OTOH you can stop a metadata download from adding them. Note:you can fine tune each site using Configure SSimply open the MDE for that book and click the delete next to tagselected source button on the (preferences)Metadata download (or) configure form

Personally, I went into Preferences => Metadata downloads and removed the check mark from Ratings and Tags.

Originally, I also went into the configuration for the metadata sources I use and removed those two from all but one of them in sequence when I was trying to find which metadata sources gave me better ratings and tags. The result of that experimentation was a decision that none of the ratings or tags were worth the powder to blow them to Hades.

That is correct if I download metadata with some plugin.
I was asking when adding a book, but thanks anyway for the response,

I have a tag rule in adding books which is Remove the tag if it is not one of depressed_caryatids.

Now if I could remember when I added the rule and why I picked that as the only tag to allow.
