Bulk find books without "Comments/Plot"?
I want to go through my entire library and fill in those missing a Plot/Comments before I move all these books to the tablet.
With a few thousand books, how would you find/sort to view just those books that are missing Comments? I triede creating a custom column, that didn't work. |

Grin. If you want to do stuff like that (bludgeoning your metadata into shape) on several thousand books, get the Quality Check plugin. It does this, and lots more.
A must-have. |

Thanks. That Quality plugin answered a few other issues - primarily, find books with tiny images so I can hunt and replace them. I only wish I knew what so many of the other features did like
NCX TOC, embedded fonts, check CSS (margins, justified), and so on. Thanks All. I hope my sister appreciattes all this work. This 8" Tab S2 tablet is her birthday present, pre-loaded with fully configured Overdrive, Moon+ Reader, Netflix, email and such. Last edited by AZBooks; 02-19-2017 at 05:46 PM. |

If the book has no plot, don't read it. You won't like it.
