How to take over changed metadata in view mode?
Hallo.
Changed metadata (title, author) will not be taken over automatically in the view mode. So far, I do that with Convert books/Bulk convert and convert to the same format again (.epub). After that I have to delete the Original EPUB with Remove books/Remove files of a specific format from selected books. But all that takes a very long time and strain the PC hardly, which I notice from the swelling fan noise. Is there another way to do the business? I got to many books to convert - it will destroy my PC, I fear. Last edited by chaot; 06-16-2015 at 01:12 PM. |

Use the Embed Metadata feature.

There is a corresponding toolbar button.
 You may need to add it under Preferences. |

Okay, but it would also be nice if we could find anything in the manual about it!?
I got a lot of books, which I all gradually editing and then doing irregular backups, depending on the processing progress. Now I wanted my library to bring up to date with this Embed metadata feature (choosed all books at once). Between the two following screenshots 30 minutes passed, then I stopped (Stop). It didn't strain the PC.  New approach, with a selection of 996 books (maybe problematic ones, 5 formats). Embed metadata → Embed metadata into files of a specific format from selected books (all formats choosed). After processing there are 5 error messages. Excerpt And as text document. Quote:
Is there any interest? Last edited by chaot; 06-17-2015 at 06:54 AM. |

Sounds like the EPUBs in question are corrupted. There is nothing calibre can do.
Try to find an intact backup? Alternatively, there are various programs that can attempt to repair zip files... depending on just what is wrong. |

@chaot - If you can extract the xhtml files and they have sensible names you maybe be able to reconstruct the broken epubs via an epub editor.
I suggest you 'validate' all your epubs with the Quality Check plugin. Here's a few of the problems it can detect Quote:

At least one file is erroring on "not a valid zip file".

 sometimes you can 'extract' individual files out of broken zips. I've had luck with Peazip on a couple of broken epubs - the body files were ok it was the encumbrances that I couldn't get - cover images. content.opf etc. Had to extract them like they were hen's teeth, one at a time, via dragon droppings  BR Last edited by BetterRed; 06-17-2015 at 07:49 PM. |

Good Morning eschwartz, BetterRed.
Please understand, I need time to get it all set up and develop. And your remarks are very helpful there. So not be discouraged if I do not always reflect as soon as you.  I could just say: Get rid of it, are not interesting books anyway. But that would be unsportsmanlike. Last edited by chaot; 06-18-2015 at 04:47 AM. |
