I'm learning Calibre little by little, and have seen the section on creating hierarchical genres. That's all fine and dandy, but when you have a lot of books setting up genres by hand is a daunting task.
So I'm wondering if anyone has managed to figure out how to create a genres column which can be automatically populated based on the DDC? I have the LC plugin installed, and it does a fair job of finding the DDC codes and putting them in the #dcc column (although it fails with the LCC codes). I tossed together a spreadsheet with the summary of the DDC codes (DDC.xml) which can probably be used to make a lookup table, (it's a start). I suppose that templates could be used to do this, but it's all way over my head.
Has anyone done this already, or would anyone know how to go about it?
:thanks: ...in advance!
