More Than One Series?
Sometimes books have more than one series attached to them. how do I get Calibre to recognize that a book has more than one series attached to it?

By creating a custom column, e.g. "#secondaryseries".
The series field cannot contain multiple series'. |

Yes, we do know, and the answer is that for technical reasons it cannot and will not happen.
It has been asked before. |

When does THAT stop. 'Sucks' that Calibre can't handle 5 series. 10 series, a blue fish. There are suggestions of things folk have tried to manage THEIR (every collection is really unique) Library. Try those on for 'best fit' One size fits NONE |

If it is an anthology I split the ebook into its component parts.
I also have a "#subseries" custom column for series' with multiple internal story arcs. |

Btw I disagree about the multiple series in the end calibre is just a database and calibre internal filing system uses just the author name and title. So it could be possible to have multiple entries pointing to the same book/file with each entry having a different series but same author and title. It would require a major rewrite of the calibre though and with the amount of code calibre now has only Kovid probably could do it without breaking anything. |
