There are two types of metadata editors: those that don't work, and those that are just a tiny tiny part of a gigantic ebook management programme.
If you just want to be able to modify the title and the author of your ebooks, you can just
tadah path_to_ebook new_title new_author
.epub
.pdf
pdfrw
ebooklib
Just like any other Python program (assuming you have Python installed):
- install the dependencies, for example with
pip install [dep]
- clone this reporitory
- move inside it
- mark the Python file as executable (
chmod +x
) - add, as the file's first line, the path to your Python interpreter (for example
#!/usr/bin/env python
) - copy or move the file to a folder in your
PATH
, e.g.usr/bin
- optionally, you can rename it to just
tadah
(removing the extension). This will allow you to invoke the program by simply typingtadah [args]
