Download Metadata Bug

Pendragn · 08-11-2018, 12:37 AM

In the newest release of Calibre (3.29), when you Download Metadata, the buttons in the middle to move metadata from the right side of the window (the original data) to the left (the downloaded data) work for the Identifier and Cover, but no longer work for any of the other fields. There's no error message; the buttons simply don't do anything.

Am I missing something new, or is this a bug?

Confirmed w10 x64
Whats more, the balloon help says 'discard <field>' The older version has this

This is happening to me as well. I am coding illiterate. So how do I fix this? Just wait for an updated release?

Yes, you have to wait for the next release.
