Calibre 'Author Management' window for CC mis-sorts
OMG. I had to use an unbelievably convoluted process to get the images in but here they are:
Charlaine Harris Michael Robotham and Karin Slaughter I won't repeat the rest of what i wrote. it's in the previous post. Thanks! ? Is it possible newer members are not allowed to put attachments in their posts? Everything worked fine up to the point when I clicked "Close Window" and nothing happened (all 27 times and ways I retried it). |

The "Unknown" authors are consistent with the second path, being added by some other app or already there when CC was installed. When CC scans for new books it extracts metadata from the book, adds the book to its database with that metadata, then passes the metadata to calibre in hopes that calibre can improve/correct it. Often calibre can, but in cases where the embedded metadata is of low quality then calibre can't do anything with it. Connect your device then look at the "Device view". You do that by clicking on the "Device" button in the tool bar next to the library button. Look at the "In Library" column to find book on your device that are not in your library. Sorting the view by In Library makes this process much easier, especially if you have a big library. I hope that you will find the "odd" books listed without a check mark. If so, you can decide what to do about them -- delete them from the device or add them to the library. |
