So your screenshot is of the meta-data TOC? How do you view that? I'm just opening the merged book in the Calibre viewer and going through the first few pages...expecting to see a TOC, and not seeing it. |

EpubMerge doesn't have any options for creating an inline TOC and I see no pressing need for one. There are other tools that can convert the metadata TOC to an inline TOC if you really want one. |

Could you name a couple of the other tools that can convert the metadata TOC to an inline TOC? Thanks again. |

There is a Insert inline TOC tool on the Tools toolbar Since there is a NCX, generating a HTML TOC is a snap, since the Tool replicates what is in the NCX |

Also Calibre's Convert has an 'Insert TOC' option. You can convert EPUB to EPUB and apply it to several books at once.

Dear JimmXinu,
When I merge two ebooks, is there a way to take the value of "series" from the source book and use that automatically for the series field of the merged result? I only see settings for custom columns, but what about regular columns? Sometimes I merge hundreds of books and it's terribly tiring to copy and paste all those series entries manually after merging. I know that if both books have the same series entry, then that will be used as the title of the merged book. But I don't want that. I would like a setting, when I merge books, the plugin would ALWAYS use the value of series from the first source book for the merged result. Is that possible for me to make this setting somehow? Or could you add this feature? |

Then the question is, if I'm modifying standard column behavior, what other standard columns changes should I add? Standard columns are handled in these specific ways: Spoiler:
Anyone else have any opinions? FYI, with the current PI, you could use a Series type custom column with a few extra steps at the start and finish of your 'hundreds' of merges. You could: Spoiler:

I don't merge different part of series. I make dual language ebooks. All my merged books are the same part of the series. My mother tongue is Hungarian. So if I have a series with 3 episodes, instead of 6 books (3 English and 3 Hungarian books), I merge them into 3 English/Hungarian dual language books. It's easier to deal with them and find them this way. So I don't need any variables for the series numbers because I only merge the same episode of a series with different languages. |

New test version.
Add 'Series from first' option. See if this works properly for you. The option defaults to off, so you'll need to go in and check it. Last edited by JimmXinu; 12-13-2016 at 02:19 PM. Reason: Remove obsolete test versions - replaced by newer test or released version. |

Thank you so much! It's exactly what I needed. I'm glad my English didn't fail me and I was able to explain what's my problem. |

Hello, recently found this plug-in and forum. Has there been any progress on the IndexError problem report back on 8-1-2016 (post #253). I have been encountering it lately. I am trying to merge a book I previously merged and then edited. I did a similar thing to a number of book bit am only having the problem when I use one specific book. Thank you.

I believe I concluded that the metadata re-write that automatically occurs when saving the epubs out of calibre corrected the issue. Anytime there's a problem with one specific book, it's usually caused by a problem in that book. If you can upload the epub somewhere and PM me a link, I can look at it. Using Calibre's convert epub->epub or saving the epub and then re-importing it will frequently correct problems. Remember to save back-ups first. |
