Could someone explain me how to do this in 'simple' (newbie) terms?

I've also been reading this site:

Thank you, I will look at the site.
I'm using an older version of Calibre btw, because I'm using Ubuntu (Linux). (And I'm afraid that if I will update/upgrade I will lose my library.. ). |

I was hoping I could copy and paste a 'regex line' (don't know the name, just heard of it a couple of days ago), but I guess it's not that simple.

Updated script should work for both 0.7 and 0.6. At least I hope so. The best place to report bugs or enhancements is to use issue tracker on http://bitbucket.org/Mekk/calibre_utils . General questions can be placed on blog.

PS To be truly safe, I manage my calibre directory as mercurial repository (and commit all important changes), so I could revert if necessary. |

I've used the terminal.. easy install and: calibre_guess_and_add_isbn
I've searched Calibre: isbn:~[0-9] not publisher:~[a-z] (just a couple of books) and.. now? Is this all it will find? Or will it find other books by isbn if I will add them later? O wait, if I use isbn:~[0-9] I find more books. Last edited by crangirl; 06-08-2010 at 06:59 AM. |

Now you can use Fetch Metadata, Download Cover etc for those books, and your chances that those functions find proper info in online databases are significantly better.

Hey, it seems to work! Not for all books, but more than before. (So I don't have to change everything by hand).
That's great. Thanks so much I think a lot of people will be happy to use this. Hmm, at least I thought so. Does it automatically find the library folder, or do you have to change that by hand? Edit: ok, it will probably have to do with this: The ~/.calibre-utils file can be used to configure some program settings. I'll keep trying If only I could find that file :/ Ah, I found it, finally.. I'll learn Last edited by crangirl; 06-08-2010 at 11:04 AM. |

Just a hint for the Windows users who can't use the Mekk calibre_utlis.
I use elibrary http://www.openelibrary.org/ just to extract and rename with ISBN, then I import it in Calibre with the metadata from filename. It works well... Last edited by chrisix; 06-08-2010 at 03:35 PM. |

It takes some time, but it does work
You should be able to find double files too right? With another script? |

I put together a small script using *nix commands, which can also be run under Windows if it has the correct packages installed, that converts the first 20 pages of a pdf to text and then searches for ISBN-13:, then ISBN-10: and lastly for ISBN:.
It will then rename the pdf with the ISBN number found and move it to another folder. I have Calibre setup so that it reads the isbn number from the filename and then I only have to select the imported books and download metadata. For books that don't have an ISNB number or in the wrong format, I don't modify those. Sofar I got a hit rate of about 90%, mostly on technical pdf's. If anyone is interested I'm willing to write up what is needed in the form of downloads and a little howto run the script. Please note that you need to be computer savvy Regards, Joop Last edited by JvdW; 06-14-2010 at 03:39 AM. Reason: Fixed some typos |
