How to filter books without embedded metadata?

Garygoblin · 02-22-2019, 12:23 AM

Hello everybody

I'm considering polishing my library, and embedding metadata into my book files. Since my library is somehow large, it would take a lot of time to run "embed metadata" blindly on all books.
So I wonder if there's any way to find the books that are missing embedded and/or outdated tags so I can update them

Thanks a lot

Get the Quality Check plugin. It has a functions to search for books with bat metadata.

Thanks, that's not exactly what I need. I have all the metadata in my library database, but some of them are not embedded to book files. So when I share them on net, the books clients get does not have the proper tags

Use a Work Bench Library to do all of your metadata updates, and embed the metadata just before copying (with delete) to your "clean" Library. Use your "clean" Library to copy to the web. So, all of your Work Bench books, and none of your "clean" books, need embedding.

If a "clean" book needs to be changed, either move it back to the WB Library before doing so, or immediately embed its newly-changed metadata.
