I Can't Get Author Names Correct
Hello:
I have never been able to get Calibre to Add books with the Author name as I want it (I do know how to use Quality Check | Fix but it still requires me to go through carefully and select only the ones that require fixing) "fn ln". I do not understand why the only option in FIX is to swap. An option to force all to fn ln as well as an option to force all to ln, fn would seem to be a simple yet useful addition. However, my question: Is there a parameter already in Calibre which will automatically bring authors in as fn ln? Thanks in advance. Sparky |

The Quality check PI FIX is easy and fast to use. (some configuration needed)
1) Find the issue in by using the upper section (eg Check metadata: Check Authors Initials) 1b) select all (ctrl-a) results 2)Fix: Authors initials I don't think there is a single, OSFA, solution. You can spend hours fighting the issue or a minute using the QCPI. |

Quality Check
Hi:
Yeah, that's what I've been doing but it still bothers me and every so often, I ask because I've forgotten I've asked before and the possibility exists that maybe something new is on he horizon. Anyway, thank you for reading my message and taking the time to respond! Stay safe! Sparky |
