![]() ![]() Calibre fills in Book 1 under the test section with the book that was highlighted when I clicked "Edit metadata," and I see that the settings are correct, so I click either "Apply" or "OK" (I've tried both). Before, this is when Calibre would run through the entire book list, finding all the books with the term I'm searching for, and fix them. Now, Calibre fixes the *one* book that it showed me as an example, and leaves the rest. There's not really a way to not have a book selected that I've found...even clicking in the Search box leaves the last book you'd clicked on highlighted, so as far as I've found, there's not a way to test if Find/Replace would work if there wasn't a preselected book to fix. System: MBP running Catalina 10.15.7 Calibre: 5.35.0 |

If you want to operate on multiple books you need to select them by holding down the ctrl or shift key and clicking on them. Once you have selected multiple books, the bulk metadata edit dialog will work on those selected books. If you want to work on all books, press ctrl+a to select all first.
