Bug Description
In Preferences - Adding Books - Create rules to filter/transform tags.
I have set up some rules:
An Example - 'Replace the tag, if it matches pattern: biog*
with the tag: Biography
When I run 'download metadata in bulk' the above tag ends up biographyphyphy
I have deleted the rules and replaced them, ensuring I was not including any accidentally hidden characters. I have 11 rules, all of the Replace if it matches pattern type.
I am sorry, but as I don't know what the original tags were, I cannot be certain this happens with every rule.
I have restarted the PC, restarted the app, and run the process more than once. There was no change in the behavior.
I am using 2.50.1, Windows 7 64 bit
Plug ins are Library Codes, MultiColumnSearch and Search the INternet, View Manager
Metadata source plugins are Fantastic Fiction, Fiction DB and Goodreads.
All are up to date
I am the reporter of this bug. I did some further 'tests'
1 - I removed all rules and I still see the same errors.
2 - I deleted as metadata sources all except Goodreads and Fantastic Fiction and I still see the same errors
I have configured the goodreads source (Preferences - Plugins - Metadata Source Plugins Goodreads (1.1.10) by Grant Drake - customize Plugin)
all fields are ticked, and I have 56 mappings, but none appear to be the cause of the incorrect tags.
As a test, using just the one book to download individual metadata I did the following
restarted Calibre
checked to make sure there were no mapping rules in 'Create rules to filter/transform tags.'
Enabled JUST Goodreads in the source of metadata preferences
NO CHANGE
I repeated the above with JUST Fantastic Fiction enabled
NO CHANGE
I have attached a screen print showing the suggestions window.
