Import & tools

From TinyCat / LibraryThing

  1. TinyCat keeps its catalog in LibraryThing. Sign in at librarything.com with your TinyCat account.
  2. Open More → Import/Export → Export (librarything.com/export.php) and download the CSV, tab-delimited or JSON file.
  3. Drop that file here. Books with an ISBN get their Open Library cover automatically.
Choose your export file
.csv, .tsv, .txt or .json

Fill in missing covers & details

Looks up every title without a cover: books on Open Library, movies on TMDB (needs a TMDB key in config.js). Existing details are kept.

Back up

Tidy up names

Finds actors, directors and authors written differently across titles (capitals, accents, initials, “Last, First”) so you can merge them into one spelling.

Auto-crop covers

Trims white margins, plastic case edges and Blu-ray or 4K banners from case photos (such as TinyCat's Amazon images) on titles you haven't cropped. Covers without a clear border are left alone; re-crop any title by hand.

Review scores

IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic scores come from OMDb. Find covers and details adds them to movies and shows that don't have them; this refreshes every one (about one lookup per title, from OMDb's 1,000 a day).
