Using recipe specific convertion

Lev667 · 03-04-2011, 07:09 AM

Hi guys,

I am using calibre to download feeds automatically to my kindle,
some of the feeds are in english and some are hebrew.

Kindle cant display mobi files in hebrew, but it works fine with pdf.

I would like to convert the english feeds to mobi, and the hebrew ones to pdf,
by adding some flag to the hebrew feeds recipe (add a variable ConvertToPdf = True or end the title name with ".pdf" or something like that),
and in the method that is doing the conversion check for that flag.
If its not there use the default mobi conversion, else convert to pdf.

Sounds simoe enough, but I tried to look through the code, and I didnt find where to add this logic.

can to point me where should I start?

thanks,
Lev.

You can do this via command line. I can't make any suggestions on where to start in the code.

Look at the fetch_scheduled_recipe function in gui2.tools
