Invalid Plug-in?

Gene45 · 11-24-2012, 04:29 PM

I downloaded tools_v5.4.1 and attempted to install it, and got the following message:

calibre, version 0.9.7
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>InvalidPlugin</b>:The plugin in tools_v5.4.1.zip' is invalid. It does not contain a top-level __init__.py file

Traceback (most recent call last):

InvalidPlugin: The plugin in u'C:/Users/Gene/Downloads/tools_v5.4.1.zip' is invalid. It does not contain a top-level __init__.py file

Obviously I did something wrong. What?

That zip file is not a plugin. Extract and examine the files in this archive to find the actual plugins.

Oh! the zip that contains those (normal zipped) plugins.

Also if OP was talking about K4PC plugin, remember to remove/uninstall old version in Calibre before installing new version in Calibre.
It's in the release notes, but missed it myself

Cheers,
