ZXreader series field - how do I set it using Calibre?

Boreads · 12-07-2010, 10:15 PM

I am using ZXreader and FB2 files converted using Calibre. Each file has, where applicable, series information added to the metadata. ZXreader has fields within 'book info' of sequence and number in sequence but does not show Calibre series info. I have looked at the xml file in notepad but cannot see where ZXreader stores the info. Is there a way of using Calibre and the info already stored to get the Calibre series info showing as the ZXreader sequence data?

I don't believe series info is part of the FB2 metadata spec. The closest I can find would be to use the custom-info section in description.

Looks like I'll have to do all the entries the slow way then - thanks for the quick reply and thanks to everyone for making Calibre such a useful tool.
