Feature request: metadata editor and ability to organize books onto specific folders/pages. #1896

So I'm currently reading some Japanese light novels but sometimes the Metadata is broken and needs to be fixed and whenever a new volume comes out it gets really annoying trying to organize the books to be in order.

I'm requesting a feature to drag the books up and down and to different pages or make folders for book series. A Metadata editor is not necessary but would be a great feature to have, you could edit the authors info, the cover, the name of the book, and the summary.

Besides these two things I love the epub reader.

Hello, would the Tag feature do the job?

gautierchomel commented 1 year ago

Tag feature could do the job but adding metadata to a book could help making links from a book to another (version, collection, etc.) and more generally could be useful when annotating.

I would argue that a metadata editor is essential. If a book is imported with metadata that's missing/incorrect/illegible, it makes it pretty difficult to use the "All Publications" library.
