Order or reading meta data.
I am preparing subscription book for import into calibre and I use ebook-convert and ebook-meta to do so. Once the books are perfect I start the import.
However the result was not perfect after all. So I wonder: what takes priority when importing meta data: File-name extraction or embedded meta data. I begin to thing it might be file-name in which case I would which for a "do not use file-names for meta data" option. Martin |

I forgot: if you import multiple formats: which format is used to read the meta data?

file name extraction is not used unless set the preference option for it. metadata read from multiple formats will be a union of metadata from all formats. Which ones take priority are hard coded, look in the ebooks.metadata.meta module for details.

Hmm

Code:
_METADATA_PRIORITIES = [ 'html', 'htm', 'xhtml', 'xhtm', 'rtf', 'fb2', 'pdf', 'prc', 'odt', 'epub', 'lit', 'lrx', 'lrf', 'mobi', 'rb', 'imp', 'azw' ] An opf file takes priority over everything - That is: if an opf file is successfully read then other files are skipped. And file-names are used as fallback if reading meta-data fails for whatever reason. That would explain my problems but also offers a solution: I just need to create an opf file from the epub .
