A number of my books (especially gutenberg books) have title pages that point to images instead of html files.
This does not format properly on my kobo (it formats the first chapter as the title page). Is there a way to search for books with this problem so I can run them through polish to add a real title page? |

I think what you need is any book that has a cover image, but it is not used anywhere. Quote:

I'm sure that the problem books the title page is an image instead of an html file, I looked at the book in the calibre editor, it even marks it as an error but won't fix it automatically. Quote:

Also, I don't think you can have an image file in the spine, but I'm sure someone will correct me if I am wrong. Quote:

If this is in the kepub spec, then this is a bug in the kepub converter, and it should be wrapping the image cover in an xhtml and adding it to the spine as it converts it. Or adding a cover if necessary. Then I wouldn't need quality check to find epubs that need fixing -- they should be fixed on the fly as they are converted and sent. If you need an example, there's no shortages. I think I've found one gutenberg epub out of 100 that has a html cover. Until you pointed out the problem in the other thread, I thought it was a bug in the stylesheets or css of the epubs, despite me deleting all of them to try to fix it. |

Searching ePub - Multiple Words
Hi there, I need to search for a couple words in the book. I have look for the commands, but I am just not getting the right combination for the search. If I wanted to search for lifeguard and pool, what would I put in the search field?
thank you |

The plugin as an option called search scope, so you could first search for lifeguard in the library, and then switch to selection only for the scope, select the books with lifeguard and run the search for pool.

Selecting all marked items.
Just installed Quality Check Plugin. Is realy helping to get my database in order. I have around 4000 entries. When using the "check titles for title case" the plugin marked around 130 entries at various locations. It seems to have also pinned the entries. I wanted to use "edit metadata in bulk", so I <Ctrl> clicked all 130+ entries. I'm sure there was an easier way, either by grouping all the marked entries and <shift> selecting; or some shortcut way of selecting all the marked entries. I'd like to learn what I should have done. Any ideas?
Group edit worked out great, except for one entry was FDR which I want to keep all caps. That is not a problem, except I cannot get rid of the PIN by the entry number. |
