Hi From Chester UK

Hi, I have just started with ubuntu and calibre on a newly built PC and newly acquired asustor4 NAS. First time for everything.
I have lots of books and documents now stored on NAS and have managed to get calibre to build a library on the NAS using a mount with nobrl specified.

I have another problem now. I wish to load some Libreoffice writer documents into calibre and have set the keywords in the documents to a, b, c. I have set the tags in calibre to be hierarchical. If I load the document into calibre it only takes the first keyword and ignores the rest. If I save the document as a PDF and load that it sees all 3 keywords.

The PDF load creates 3 separate tag fields in calibre so that I can select by field a,b or c or any combination of them - just as I want. However I do not want to save as a PDF to get this to work.
How do I load the Libreoffice document and get calibre to see all the keywords/tags?

ubuntu 20.04
calibre 5.34.0
Libreoffice 7.2.5.2

Thanks

Hello and welcome to MobileRead!

First off, it's not a good idea to keep your calibre library on a NAS.

As to your tag field problem, you should ask that in our calibre subforum, as that's where the calibre gurus hang out.

Thanks. I realise about the locking issue on NAS but need to share the books across multiple PCs without having multiple copies. If there is another way please let me know. In the meantime, I have re-posted this on the subforum. Can this thread be deleted?

Calibre Content Server is one way.

Calibre-Web is another:
