Transforming tags rules in metadata download
Hi.
I have found that when I create two different rules to transform tags when downloading metadata, the list of available tags is the same, i.e. all tags. Shouldn't a tag, once used in a rule, disappear for the rest of the rules ? I think that if the rules are executed one after the other, once a rule finds a tag and modifies it, there should not be another rule with the same tag. But this is not the case, because all tags are available when I create a new rule. |

The list of tags is simply a convenience for when you are creating the rule. In actual usage, the tags will come from the downloaded metadata and have nothing to do with the list of tags available in the rule creation tool.

I already figured out that the list of tags comes from the downloaded metadata.
What I mean is that when I choose a tag for one rule, it is not available for another. This way it is easier to manage tag rules in the metadata download. |

it will likely be a unicode normalization issue. The unicode normalization will probably be different between the tags you entered and those being downloaded. The plugin should normalize its tags to normal form.

Actually, no calibre already normalizes downloaded tags. This should take care of it: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr...80de1a7ed3ba1c
