Couple Questions: Greyed Icons, Name Fix, Tag Count

ValerieAnne · 10-09-2017, 12:56 PM

This seems like such a simple solution, which is probably why I can't find the answer to it. :/ I usually just load all my books into caliber and that's it. I have no decided to actually try to organize it the best that I can. I have a couple questions:

1. When I first installed Calibre (before version 1 was released), I thought it would place all my files into their respective folders by author First, Last name. When going into the folder today, I see that there are some in there like that and some in there as last, first. If I correct these with calibre/the metatag will it also update the folder in the main Calibre library?

2. What do the greyed out symbols mean? For example, in Publisher, I have quite of few (most) of the symbols in full color (in this case a green typewriter). I have some as a greyed out typewriter as well. What do those mean? Do they mean something within the metatag is incorrect?

3. Last question, is there a way to limit the tags to the top 5 or so? I know I can delete the extra ones, but I mean within the metatag search.

Thanks so much.

1. yes, changing author changes the folder

2. it refers to the average ratins of books in that category. If you dont like it you can turn it off in Preferences->Look & Feel->Tag browser
