How to activate "Insert metadata as page at start of book" only when sending to devic
Hi everybody!
In "SETTINGS>CONVERTIONS>COMMON OPTIONS>STRUCTURE DETECTION", there is the option "Insert metadata as page at start of book". I like this option a lot and I use it to send my ebooks to my kindle so I can always check the summaries and everything on the first page of the ebook. I only see 2 problems: 1) Right now that option is in the "converstion settings" and it just works when I convert the ebook before sending it to the device. If I do not need to convert the ebook, then I dont get the metadata in the first page. 2) If I leave the option "Insert metadata as page at start of book" always activated, then it also applies even when I am just saving to disc (to my computer). And I do not like that. I know that the two possible manual options are: 1) for problem 1: convert the ebook before sending it to the kindle, even it is from same format to same format 2) for problem 2: deactivate that option when I am not sending to device But what I am wondering is: Is there any option anywhere that I can just activate "Insert metadata as page at start of book" for "sending to device settings" instead of being in in the converstion setting and applying for all? thanks |

That option does not apply when sending books to device unless your book is being also auto-converted when sending to device. In other words there are only two ways to insert a metadata jacket into a book:
1) Do a conversion 2) Use the Polish books tool |

Thank you very much twice!!! I saw your nickname and realized that you are the creator of calibre. thank you very much!!!! it is a great software. If anyone else comes to this thread, there is also another thread by the creator that explains polish books tools: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=205857 Kindle doesnt read the metadata for the summaries and comments. that was the only reason that I was looking for an automatic option to add the book jackets just when I am sending to kindle. but ok, maybe Im just a weirdo looking for that option, lol. by the way, I also published another question, could you help me with that or tell me if it is possible? https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...90#post3727890 Thanks!! |
