Tagging Issues "Can't Get Tags"

DawnDawn88 · 10-15-2021, 06:31 PM

Okay so I have been tinkering with a few ebooks lately and I have a problem with the "Genre" and "tagging" I can't find the actual "Genres" or "Tags" for the ebooks.

I have never really edited the ebooks before except for making a amazon ebook a pdf ebook that I can read on my phone or tablet. And I have also been working on "CBZ" files a lot lately.

So now here is the issue when I go to the "Download Metadata" I find "Tags" or what I think are "Tags" in by the "Comments area" and then I just copy and paste those words into the "Tags" area. So is there a easier way to find and add tags.

Have you tried configuring the metadata download?

You can also fine tune EACH SOURCE. See the button at the bottom of the sources list.

Say you hate the ratings from Goodreads: Simply select that, the click the button and remove the tick

BTW another reason is you have reduced the entries on the list and none of those have what you need. A real problem if you have a French title/ISBN and only US sites in the list

Well that was odd "Tags" was unchecked. I never unchecked it before though. Oh well now I have that issue fixed I hope. Next on to the genre issue hopefully that can also get fixed soon enough.

By the way do either of you know why the "Comment Section" looks different for some ebooks then others. Some of the times the ebooks information is squished "Thisbookisabout low calorie cooking." Some of the times it looks like this.
