Hi.
Like many, I've scoured the intermess to find, assemble and manage a large collection. Though I don't use it often, My wife is temporarily homebound and has found this a significant comfort.
Your plugin is one of the most useful tools I've found, and I've quickly come to rely on it heavily.
I've recently noted some behaviors that may not have been mentioned here.
I've included some representative log entries.
My system is:
Opensuse 12.12
KDE 4.7.2
Calibre 0.8.60
First, starting with the plugin versions available on 0.8.59,
And, using any of the three algorithms available,
scanning an entry with ONLY a pdf file, will give a valid page count, but a word count of 0 (zero). I haven't diagnosed this extensively. If I could relearn python, I'd have just helped rather then begged.
Second, unfortunately, the new word count WILL overwrite an older. no matter what settings are used.
Third, I'm sure its been noticed, but there seems to be a number of unicode characters
that throw a fatal error that will abort a job.
Most especially, I seem to have a large number of files originally encoded to include:
a particular rendition of single quotes with codes of \u2018 and \u2019. Though there are many others.
I would like to join other voices in encouraging a few enhancements to overcome these.
I wonder if there are not python libraries that more gracefully or completely handle
some of these problematic characters.
Or, include a user accessible enumerated list of potentially incorrect characters with
an appropriate mapping.
Or, mayhap, Both? I'd like to imagine that a list of exceptions or replacement rules could be called from calibre's existing conversion tools.
I wonder if it's possible to simply log such errors without aborting the job.
I wonder if it may be possible to allow an option to simply keep the epub conversion
created to enable the count of PDFs.
log follows.
