problems found
Not sure when this started as I just noticed them:
Windows 10 64, Calibre 64 bit 3.8., 13" Dell notebook. Following pop-up screens will not get smaller, even though they show the arrow that normally lets them reduce in size (I have to configure my screen smaller in order to get to the bottom and click on needed keys): -configure download metadata from edit metadata screen -different custom columns when moving from one library to another -find duplicates Also, not copying data from all user fields when transferring from one library to another. If I'm doing something wrong or there are alternative methods to work with these please let me know. |

Re: Copy to Library. (assumes field names are the same: #name )
The first thing I would do is reset 'confirmations' Preferences: Behavior: <click that button on the right side> When a field (column) does not exist, calibre offers to create. Even if you say No, it is a heads up of a potential issue. Your Screen issues may be from the font and parameters. Preference: Look and feel: Main Interface (tab) IIRC the User Interface style setting also affects display And a (fairly new feature): Adjust for High Resolution Displays. Automatic, may not be the best choice for your system |

Preference: Look and feel: Main Interface (tab) Thanks that fixed those issues. As I was fixing the High Resolution Display, I remembered doing that before - don't know how it got changed back except I replaced the 32 bit version with the 64 bit - I guess I inadvertently changed it. Re: copy to library. The missing field wasn't being used in the new library, so I didn't think I needed to add it. After adding, sometimes it appears to work and sometimes not. Old COBOL programmer here, so I know that is just not possible. I'll keep trying things to figure out what is going on and will ask for more help if I come up with anything. Appreciate your being so helpful. |
