Calibre Question
I LOVE Calibre - thank you for ALL you do for us ...
One Question: When I convert a file (for instance a .lit file) to lrf, using Calibre ... it converts great! Only thing is - it produces a second .lit file along with the .lrf. So when it saves - I've got the orginal .lit, the converted/saved .lrf AND another .lit ... which requires that I go through to delete the 2 lit files. What am I doing wrong here? I've been through all the settings, but can't see where I can turn that off? Is this how Calibre is supposed to work - or did I miss a setting that I need to change? Thank so much! A |

I think it is by design:
1) Your original .LIT stays where it was, in case you need the original source material. 2) The new .LIT file gets all the metadata/changes you might make, plus is there for those of us with multiple devices who want one central repository for up-to-date versions of the book-for example, I convert everything to .ePub for my iPhone, and .LRF for my Sony. |
