Hi there

I have some indexed folders (export from my **[calibre](https://calibre-ebook.com/)** library) with lots of ePUBs and PDFs in a subfolder structure.

Thankfully with “_Convert Keywords to Tags_” I can convert the tag info calibre has embedded in the ePUB to tags DEVONthink recognises! 🙂

Additionally it seems even to work for _all the books_ when I issue “_Convert Keywords to Tags_” just on the top directory containing the books. So my question is: Is it correct that “_Convert Keywords to Tags_” works recursively?

All Data \> Tags \> … commands work like that.
