Comment 8 for bug 1012243

Upon further checking I see what you mean - the author metadata on the book I transferred was blank (although the title was correct). But isn't the metadata of an epub stored in the epub itself?

I've copied over epubs directly to iTunes and it has found the author metadata automatically, so it must have been metadata stored in the epub itself. I guess that calibre doesn't normally store its metadata in the epub itself. Can't the metadata be transferred to the epub before it is copied to the automatically add to iTunes folder?
