You have the escapes wrong. Unless the regular expression is super-quoted the backspashes must be doubled.

Example using super-quotes that works:

comments:"""~p\.m\."""

I'm getting an error on certain books when checking for inline xpgt links:

Thanks to isarl above for reporting this

A surprising number of my books in Library have (at times) same entry for a book in title and author. It would be helpful if Quality Check Plugin could show these so they could be manually corrected. Thanks.

This can be easily done with a "Template search".

Click the gear in the search box to get to "Advanced search". Choose the template tab, then fill it in as shown in the attachment.

The template text is

program: $authors == $title

For more information see "Search using templates" in the Search interface section of the calibre manual. It is near the end of the section. Also see The calibre template language, in particular General Program Mode.

Thanks Chaley very much. Great clear decription and it works. Encouraged me to do a lot more experimentation.... All the best.

Question: Is there a way to exclude certain series from 'Check duplicate series' aside from adding each book seperately?

EDIT: I just realized bulk-adding is possible.

[ownedbycats]

Small enhancement request: In the processing dialog, truncate long titles. Very long titles can result in the 'cancel' button going off-screen entirely.

@ownedbycats - this should address your issue, let me know if not.

Thanks to @un-pogaz for adding a new feature that checks whether an epub is inside another epub.

[phossler]

Running 1.13.6 in 6.24 and it says there's no cover, but it looks there is one

Two books really don't have covers, but Feynman seems to have a cover ??

[kiwidude]

@phossler - as you can see this is just a normal calibre search of metadata using cover:False - it isn't looking inside the epubs themselves. So that likely means you havent actually extracted a cover for the book metadata for that particular row (or downloaded a cover for that book). The cover that you have to add to the book metadata and the cover that may exist inside the epub are independent (though they will be set to be the same for when you do a book conversion for instance).

[phossler]

I did try to check things like that first.

There is a cover.jpg in the book folder
I replaced / updated the metadata with that file
I ran DB maint and it says no missing cover files

So I'm very confused
