Commenting out the check_empty() calls for nav_container and nav_container representation results in a seemingly valid ePub. Obviously that's a hack, but I wanted to confirm there weren't additional problems.

ADDED: I will update the plugin to create Kindle-specific markup in the NCX file with the descriptive text when producing an EPUB from this book so that nothing is lost. This extra data will be discarded by calibre unless the "From KFX" toolbar action is used. Last edited by jhowell; 04-01-2024 at 09:05 PM. Reason: Change in plan |

Inconsistent Marking of Cover and (Especially) Table of Contents
When converting a KFX to an Epub, most of the time the cover is marked correctly as the cover (as viewed in Calibre's editor), but sometimes there's a duplicate "cover" that's actually at the bottom of the file list. OK, fine: Publishers are, umm, technologically challenged and don't even handle this consistently in house.
That's only sometimes, though. Whether the table of contents will be "marked" as the table of contents appears to be completely random: I've done multiple KFX books from the same imprint of the same publisher, all released during the same month, and sometimes the table of contents is marked as a table of contents and sometimes it isn't -- regardless of what epub version it's converted to. This wasn't a problem with AZW or mobi inputs so far as I remember. But I'm not sure if this is: A KFX Input thingy (bug, feature, you choose); A general KFX thingy; Random goofiness from the 'zon; Publisher incompetence, especially when blindly creating e-book files from Adobe; My computer getting drunk and just doing random stuff to annoy me; More than one of the above. Thoughts? |

These days the important TOC is the logical one that is separate from the book's contents. Some publishers may have gotten sloppy about marking where the TOC that is part of the text of the book occurs since that link is not needed by the Kindle reading software. Again some examples would be helpful in determining what is occurring in the cases you have experienced. Last edited by jhowell; 04-05-2024 at 10:59 AM. Reason: typo |

Hey, I see that in gather_filetype.py, there's an error in the regex for the 'azw8' branch:
The line: Code:
elif orig_ext == ".azw8" and re.match("^{0-9A-F-}{36}$", orig_dir): Code:
elif orig_ext == ".azw8" and re.match("^[0-9A-F-]{36}$", orig_dir): |

I will fix it in the next plugin release. Perhaps someday it may be worth having. |

Thanks so much for the plugin! Works great.
Regarding the Scribe notebook conversion feature, would I need to use the KFX Input plugin CLI on a copied version of my .notebook folder? I can access the contents of my Scribe through File Explorer in Windows, but I haven't yet figured out how to navigate to its contents via CLI as there is no associated drive letter. (I'm guessing I somehow missed a step.) |

When the Scribe was first released it was possible to mount its file system as a drive in Windows and access notebooks directly. With the change over to MTP for file transfer in recent Scribe firmware that no longer works. Like most software this plugin only sees files accessible on a mounted drive, so you need to copy the notebook file from the Scribe before it can be converted. |
