They do not have to install the addon. The current and soon to be previous version will still work and still be available. AFAIK |
No it won't. Only whatever version is in the first post of the thread is available. When this is updated, it is copied to a calibre server and replaces the existing version. So, anyone who needs to use 1.48 and doesn't already have this plugin won't be able to install it.

How exactly are THEY meant to accomplish this feat when you, in your exalted state, have decided to only support 2.2 and above?
When you refer to THEY, do you include yourself or are you getting upset on behalf of some imaginary person? And what do you mean by his 'exalted state'? Is that another term for THE GUY THAT WROTE THE THING? I also don't know anyone that doesn't keep there calibre up to date. If you're still required to use Calibre 1.48 then bless you and your grandchildren but please take the time to look at your calender; It may need updating.

There is a lot of discussion about this. There are valid reasons not to upgrade.

Also, davidfor is discussing YOUR plugin here. All we have been trying to do is to help YOU out. So sorry to have interfered in your private little world.
It sounds more like you are trying to TELL HIM WHAT TO DO with his plugin, rather than HELP him as you claim. And to call refer to his 'private little world' in a forum on a global network that connects him to every user and non-user of his software, AND HE RESPONDS, well that just stupid. Sorry to say it, but your parents may have been related before they got married. I would suggest counting the branches on your family tree before you concern yourself with what other people do with their spare time.

He definitely wasn't. If he was, he would be over in the threads for my plugins making suggestions for changes. Which is something he has done several times. And as he is also willing to test and report problems. And he frequently steps in to answer questions before I get the chance to. So, I am willing to listen to him.
What he did was to send me PM warning me of a possible issue with my plugins. When I looked, I discovered it wasn't a problem for me, but an error in how this plugin was coded. I could see why he thought what he did and have no problem with the error. If there is going to be a problem, I want to hear about it as early as possible. In any case, I would have seen the thread a little later in the day and done the investigation to see if I was going to have a problem. And then reported in this thread my findings. i.e. Done exactly what I did.

DaltonST, Thank you very much for your efforts. It's is appreciated by people that don't expect everything handed to them at the snap of a finger.

While I have no personal interest in DaltonST's plugins, it's good that he has made them available. And it is his decision as to exactly what support to give. But, he has made a decision based on an error. The reported problem was not a real issue with calibre, but because the plugin contained unnecessary code.
