[GUI Plugin] Manage Series - Page 7

kiwidude · 07-26-2012, 02:11 PM

Glad you are up and running with it, though I must confess that putting over 2,500 books into the same series isn't quite the standard use case I had in mind!

As for defaulting the series name - that is something I won't change. It is far too useful for people wanting to do quick renaming etc of the series to have the existing name present. The series name is displayed both in the dropdown and in a column next to each and every book - I'm afraid there are no excuses for not seeing what the new name is

Ok, see your point. It's really not a big issue for me since I always make a backup before I do bigger changes in the library.

Kiwidude,

It looks like Manage Series is broken (running Calibre 0.9.20).

I can select a number of books to fix the series, it will let me shift them up & down in the list to correct the series index, but as soon as I try to lock an index, it bombs with the following error:

Spoiler:

Update: it seems to happen when there is a book in the list that wasn't part of the series originally (i.e. it doesn't have a series & series index yet). If all books already have a series and series index things work fine.

JimmXinu · 02-28-2013, 11:45 AM

FYI, I can duplicate this error. But what I see is the error occurring when I try to index-lock a book without a series. If the book already has a series, or if I've entered a new series name, it works without error.

kiwidude · 02-28-2013, 06:10 PM

Sounds like a bug that will have been in there a long time. Will take a look later and put a fix out, thx for pointing it out and isolating it guys.

Yep, I played with it some more, and you're right.

Changes in this release:

Fix bug where trying to lock series index for a book without a series
Prevent plugin being used in Device View or on Device View context menu

Calibre shows i have an update for this plug in but when i install it and calibre restarts, it still shows has being 1.2.5 and says i have an update available.

i have tried uninstall and the reinstall but it still shows 1.2.5 as being the version i have.

Any ideas would be appreciated

kiwidude · 03-03-2013, 07:40 AM

alanHD -thanks for pointing this out, please try to download again now. The attachment to the post wasn't updated with the new version. Second time this has happened for me with Chrome, very strange.

alanHd · 03-03-2013, 07:57 AM

Thanks, it updated fine now.

You rock.

Looks like this is broken in Calibre 0.9.29

kiwidude:

As of this morning, I'm getting the same error, running Calibre 9.29 [Windows 64 bit version] on a Win 7 - 64 bit machine, with version 1.2.6 of the Manage Series plugin. I have not tried the plug in on a different version, though I can try the Mac OS at home after work.

I've re-started Calibre several times. I'm not sure what other information you need to help diagnose it. The plug in worked under Calibre 9.28 [same versions of everything else] up through late afternoon May 2nd.

THANK YOU so much for all you do with these plug ins.

@kiwidude: You should probably be using deepcopy_metadata() not deepcopy() or even safer:

newmi = Metadata(_('Unknown'), other=oldmi)

Changes in this release:

Fix issue introduced with changes to calibre in v0.9.29

Thanks to Kovid for identifying the fix.

Kiwidude & Kovid:

Perfect. Thank you so much.
