Tag Mapper troubles

Rellwood · 06-18-2020, 03:46 PM

Do the tag rules take time to go into effect?

I did all the usual things to make sure a rule is being accepted (saving, restarting, confirming for conflicts, highlighting all books then highlighting and hitting"ok" for the tag mapper) but new rules don't take effect.

Today I wanted Action & Adventure to become Action.Adventure

Nothing I can do will cause it to change. It was a "replace if it is one of"

I confirmed that it isn't listed anywhere else, nor the tag is listed anywhere else.

Also, testing rules shows that it won't change.

This is the norm for rules when I try and add them, but it seems that after some time (day or so) the rules "catch up" and work. I also have the same rules in the add books feature.

Any advice?

That's strange. The rule works for me.

This might be an extreme solution, but have you tried rebuilding the library database from the OPFs? Do a backup first, to be on the safe side.
