Misc to designation of title/sub-title and cover!

[chaot]

I downloaded a book from Gutenberg as EPUB (with images). It is called the time being pg36779-images.epub and comes without cover. Taken in calibre the full title is Die Lobensteiner reisen nach Böhmen / Zwölf Novellen und Geschichten, see calibre screenshot.png.

Picture The Lobensteiner travel .... png shows the memory file. Here would seem desirable the entry without subtitle. Why the ä, ö and ü are not written - adjustable?

Cover download is unsuccessful, so I generate an own cover. There are various possibilities, e.g. cover (Blocks).png. The disturbing is evident: The sub-title Zwölf Novellen und Geschichten should appear complete, in a smaller font and seperated (without slash).

I studied the whole page 'Cover generation settings', especially 'Fonts and Sizes' and 'Text' - I didn't found the solution.

Who got an idea on one or more of the issues raised?

I'm guessing you have Preferences->Add Books set to read metadata from the file contents, and I suspect the umlauts aren't in the embedded metadata. To prove my assertion open the book in the calibre viewer (press 'V' select EPUB) and then click the blue 'I' in the toolbar.

If the cover is in the EPUB then see screen shot to see how to extract it.

I put sub titles into a separate custom column.

Sorry I can't help you with that because I dont use that feature - its very recent.

I'll move this thread to the main calibre forum - the Editor subforum is specific to the calibre ebook editor.

BTW : Welcome to Mobile Read

Also do remember that file names in the library are limited to ASCII; save to disk preferences do offer the option of disabling this option, but this ONLY applies to a save to disk, and NOT to the main calibre database.

*** To clarify: by library I mean the actual files / directories that comprise the calibre datastore, and not the library as displayed in calibre itself. If you look at the O/P's screen shots, one of them DOES show a Windows Explorer view of the directory where this book is stored.

I can't help with the cover generation, but google found these, maybe one of them would suffice instead?
