Perhaps you mean you use Calibre to download books from particular sources so Calibre exchanges metadata with the source server directly? I add files manually by dragging them to the Calibre window and expect it to extract metadata (like the book autor, title, ISBN and cover picture) from the file.
- bayindirh 8y agoNo, I download books with my browser, and drag them into the Calibre. It harvests the metadata embedded in the file automatically.
- PurpleRamen 8y agoI usually buy ebooks through Humble Bundle, download all formats and then import them into calibre. For 2 of 3 formats the metadata will be extracted without problems. Only one is usually lacking. I think it's mobi or epub, but never bother to pin it down because I just combine then in one entry anyway, and then the metadata will be merged together. Calibre has usually no problem with extracting metadata from files, independant from the source.
- bayindirh 8y agoIt's possibly .mobi. Calibre reads all metadata from my HumbleBundle ePubs just fine. :)
- superhuzza 8y agoI download my epub and mobi files from my browser and IRC, and Calibre has always picked up the cover and metadata just fine. In the import/add books settings, there is an option to use the filename instead of the metadata. Try changing that?
