I have “Download subjects” (and genres) deselected in settings.
When I add a book to our collection, subjects are being added that I didn’t enter during the addition process. It doesn’t add genres, just subjects.
Why is this happening? Am I misunderstanding what deselecting that option means?
Thanks,
Marcy S
Can you show me two screenshots please:
1 of the settings where you disabled it
1 of 1 single book where I can see it added subjects?
And let me know if you Add books via your mobile app indeed? Just via add books?
My settings screen
My subject folder before I added an Agatha Christie book (the “P’s” are of interest)
The addition screen - no subjects defined
Subject folder after I added the book
The listing in my collection after addition was completed
I add books via the mobile app using the “+” button at the bottom of the screen. Mostly on my Pixel 8, but it happens on my Android tablet as well
Thanks

Thank you!
I can now reproduce this issue on my side. I’ve reported the bug to the development team so we can work on a fix.
My apologies for the temporary inconvenience caused!

Sorry it has taken so long to fix this, but it should work correctly now. Please double check your settings, toggle it on/off, and then see if the subjects stop downloading.
(It seems to just have been a display issue of the toggle, where it did work, just not on first installs, and only if you toggled it on/off once - but we fixed it correctly now anyway)
