Wrong title in the viewer

BlackWinny · 05-18-2013, 11:12 AM

Hello Kovid and everybody

Is it a bug or a normal behavior ?

I see that on a book which title has been modified by the metadata panel (to correct it for example), the viewer shows the old title (which is inside the book file) instead of the title taken in the metadata.

Here is an example.
In red the wrong title which is shown (taken inside the book file)
In green the right title (the one we'd like to see of course, after the changes done in the metadata) :

Kind regards,
Jacques

I believe that is a WAD (works as designed)

The Viewer can be used outside of Calibre. So it is most likely that it uses the books internal metadata.

View does not update the metadata on the fly like Send to Device does.

To update an EPUB in the library use Modify EPUB (a PI) or Polish
