Add Import from Calibre Library Option

Open MiguelAntonioRS opened this issue 5 months ago • 1 comments

Many users already manage their libraries using Calibre. Providing an import feature would ease migration to BookLore.

Implement a feature to: 
 

Import .opf files generated by Calibre
Parse metadata (title, author, tags, cover, etc.)
Optionally import associated eBook/PDF files if paths are provided

This could also include a drag-and-drop import wizard for batch importing.

this is definitely doable and something I’ve been considering as well.

In fact, I’m also exploring a feature where Booklore stores fetched metadata not only inside the file (already supported) but also in an external .json or .opf file, in addition to the database (which I plan to make exportable). That would make syncing and migration between tools like Calibre and Booklore much smoother.

Thanks for suggesting this!
