Calibre cheats and adds metadata to a separate file for each ebook and the ebook-meta.exe program ignores this data as far as I can tell (Happy to learn otherwise if anyone knows more).īecause of this, the series column will only display data for. Because of this the ebook-meta.exe program will not read or write series information for those files. Epub3 allows for the series information to be embedded into the ebook file but other filetypes don't seem to. Series data is handled horribly by ebook formats. This cache can be turned off with the use_cache configuration option and the actual path used to store the cache can be changed with cache_path. Once a book has been parsed the first time, it's particulars are added to the cache file (in "/localappdata\EbookColumns") resulting in faster read times when the columns are shown for that book. This file is automatically deleted once the metadata has been read. The script uses the ebook-meta.exe file to extract the metadata for the ebook files and outputs it to a temporary file in ".\AppData\Local\Temp". If not, there's a configuration option ( calibre_path) where you can change this. The script expects that you have installed Calibre into the default location: C:\Program Files (x86)\Calibre2. You can prevent the column from continuing to process the remaining files by clicking the spinning circle in the location field and selecting "abort". Warning: This script runs slowly when a book is not in the cache, it's got a lot to do for each file.
