[QUOTE=Ephemerality;2481827]That is the intended function. The alias file is there to add extra terms to be matched within the book.
Hi Ephemerality, I have understand the function and I wanted to use the function, but it works not as you describes it. After canceling the x-ray process (choice aliases question with 'N') I edited the generated aliases file. Then I restart the x-ray process. The console announce the usage of the edited aliases file, but use instead the shelfari content. kindleloh |

It seemed premature before it's really working.

Or do you mean that after it processed the book, the X-Ray file doesn't contain any excerpts from the aliases that you used? Posting the log, alias file, and which book may help if this is what's happening. Last edited by Ephemerality; 04-20-2013 at 03:34 PM. |

X-Ray in other languages
Quote:
Since it relies on Shelfari, it can quite obviously be actually useful for english books only. However, I'm quite confident it could be easily adapted for other languages. Let me explain what I mean. I tried to create the X-Ray file with "Incontro con Rama", which is the italian translation of "Rendezvous with Rama" by Arthur C. Clarke. Character names are mostly the same in the italian version, and indeed the generated X-Ray file mostly works. However some places and names are translated differently. For example, the Italian translations for "Dr. Perera", Rome", "Paris", "Moscow" and "Cylindrical Sea" are "Dottor Perera", "Roma", "Parigi", "Mare cilindrico" and "Mosca". If I add the translation to the "xyz.aliases" file as an alias for the corresponding english character name everything is OK, but the english name is shown in the X-Ray window of my Kindle, while it's actually never used in the book. If I add italian character names (which are obviously not provided by Shelfari) they're skipped. If I delete english entries they're added back by XRayBuilder (and no match for those terms is found within the book). Other infos are automatically detected in the shellfary page and there's no way for overriding them. It would be nice if XRayBuilder could dump all those infos to some UTF8 text file which could then be manually edited, and to have an option to load it overriding shelfari. Something like: Spoiler:
Could this be possible? |

I was thinking about different options and the first thought I had was to have a feature that replaces the original character's name (the one from Shelfari) with the first alias, so: "Billy the Kid,Senor Billy,Bill,etc" would end up dropping the "Billy the Kid" entirely and replacing it with "Senor Billy" on the Kindle. However, if you wanted fully-translated descriptions as well, dumping the whole thing to a file and reading it back later might be the simplest way to go. I think Shelfari allows translations to be added to the site as well, which means you could have a totally separate entry for the translated version. Otherwise anyone else who wants to have the book X-Ray Enabled would have to write the descriptions themselves. I don't have time to add the feature in right now, though. Sometime in the next month I might, but if you/someone wants to give it a go, I could certainly take the patch file and add it to the repo. |

Unfortunately I don't actually have the skills to help you with coding but in case you're going to implement this feature I would be glad to help you with testing! P.S. I tried adding an italian translation on Shelfari an then creating an X-Ray file: it works perfectly. Last edited by pirl8; 04-21-2013 at 05:08 PM. |

Then download XRayBuilder from googlecode, unpack it into a dir of your choice. I wasn't able to run it by dragging and dropping the mobi file on it so I did it via CMD (actually I don't like Win CMD when dealing with very long prompts and command lines and I useConEmu or Console which are truly resizable).
