ebook-meta.exe --index

E.CLE · 04-21-2021, 06:22 AM

PROBLEM:

Using the command-line tool ebook-meta, I am trying to both enter new data and delete existing data.
Inserting or changing new data goes without any problems. DELETING existing data also works except for 'series index' (-i --index).

I am using these parameters:

Code:

-s "" -i ""
-s "" -i "0"
-s "" -i 0
-s "" -i "0.0"

To check its result I use the free tool 'Epub Metadata Editor'. With that, I do have the ability to empty the index.

Is this problem due to myself? Or is it a bug?
Would like feedback, please.

Sincerely

Well I dont think calibre bothers to delete the index when the series is deleted, its meaningless anyway.
