The category shows only for custom items. You might be looking at a standard one? The rationale is that the standard items can be determined from the icon, but the custom ones cannot.
If you truly are not seeing the category name in the tooltip for custom fields, then I have some debugging to do. |

I also added a 'collapse button' where you suggested. I didn't add an 'expand button'. It didn't seem worth the trouble and real estate. |

Hi.
I would like to have a plugin that would enable me to put a frequently used option directly on a toolbar. There is an option in Preferences -> Import / Export -> Adding books -> swap author Firstname and Lastname. I change that option very often and it is always lots of clicks, plus I sometimes forget what is the latest setting. Another User Unfiendly feature of that panel is that the Apply button is in the top left corner, the Close button in the parent dialog is in the right left. Another lot candidate for placing on the "Toolbar Frequently Used Options" would be 4 versions of regular expression for importing new books. Is it possible to make such plugin? Could I make a my private version of Calibre by simply copying a little piece of code from the settings dialog to the source for the toolbar layout? |

As that was posted with an older version of this plugin that did not have the encoding or keyboard shortcut parameters you would want to add those columns in. So it would look like this if you added his items exactly with the icon: Code:
stip_search_internet_menus = [
('FantasticFiction for Author', 'stip_fantastic_fiction.png', 'http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/search/?searchfor=author&keywords={author}', 'utf-8', _('Alt+F')),
('FantasticFiction for Title', 'stip_fantastic_fiction.png', 'http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/search/?searchfor=book&keywords={title}', 'utf-8', None),
(None, None, None, None, None),
('Barnes and Noble by Author', 'stip_bn.png', 'http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=EBOOK&WRD={author}&box={author}&pos=-1&ugrp=1', 'utf-8', None),
('Barnes and Noble by Title', 'stip_bn.png', 'http://productsearch.barnesandnoble.com/search/results.aspx?store=EBOOK&WRD={title}+by+{author}', 'utf-8', None),
('Barnes and Noble by isbn', 'stip_bn.png', 'http://search.barnesandnoble.com/books/product.aspx?EAN={isbn}&page=index&prod=univ&choice=allproducts&query={isbn}&flag=False&ugrp=1', 'utf-8', None),
(None, None, None, None, None),
('Amazon.com for Book', 'stip_amazon.png', 'http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords={author}+{title}', 'latin-1', _('Alt+Z')),
(None, None, None, None, None),
('Google.com for Book', 'stip_google.png', 'http://www.google.com/#sclient=psy&q={author}+"{title}"', 'utf-8', None),

The last comment I would have about that expand button is whether its function should actually be similar to the "reset search" button next to the search bar for the books. In that it both collapses the tree and clears the find text. I'm ok with it either way but just raising it for consideration if you had not already. |

What I do is use a tool to rename the files before adding to Calibre so they always match my regex but if you want to avoid that I can see this as a popular solution. Quote:
If you want to write these yourself, go for it. If you want me to do them for you I'm happy to do so, on holiday at the moment so thumb twiddling... EDIT: Ok, I couldn't resist. I'm working on writing this for you. I will combine all the requirements into one button. Basically it will let you change any of the adding preferences by clicking on the toolbar dropdown menu button, so the three checkbox options that are there now, plus the ability to switch between up to 4 user configurable regular expressions. We'll see how it goes... Last edited by kiwidude; 01-01-2011 at 09:01 PM. Reason: Further comments |

Quick Preferences plugin
*** This plugin has now been moved to it's own thread - download from the link below ***
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=118772 This plugin provides a way to quickly switch between certain preferences values without going into the preferences dialog. Specifically it currently caters for preferences related to adding books but could be added to in future if needed. This gives you a toolbar button (see screenshot below) which allows you to:
By default I have included two regex patterns - the default Calibre one, and a second for handling titles in "author [- optional series #] - title" format. Special Notes:
Feedback/suggestions as always welcomed. Last edited by kiwidude; 01-27-2011 at 08:37 PM. Reason: Moved to own thread |

In other words your Quick preference has this one exactly backwards. |

Actually it is just the text description that is wrong, not the preference. Thanks for picking that up. Will push up a new version shortly.

New version up now. Every time I push a plugin I wonder whether to offer it at some sort of "beta" first but any errors tend to get found pretty quickly by the likes of yourself
It took a fair bit of work to write this one but it was an interesting exercise. Slowly my knowledge of Qt is increasing as I force myself to try a few new things with each plugin. The Calibre architecture is so cool to allow this, credit again to Kovid and co. |
