Wanted: CLI command
Here is one more vote for the idea of a CLI command to use the Generate Covers plugin. I have a batch file that creates a number of catalogs and as things stand right now, I have to manually create the covers for each; a separate and manual step in an otherwise automated process.
It seems simple enough (from my limited point of view). The syntax would look something like: generate-cover bookID# savedsettingsname Please and thanks |

The font size question was that I want different font sizes for different parts of the Custom Text. |

You may find that it will be easier to create the covers outside of calibre. That's what I ended up doing. I posted the guts of a script which can handled any number of title elements using 'convert' from ImageMagick on page 30 of this thread. Then again, I am creating 13,500 individualized covers. Since each element is created separately you can specify font, font sizes, color etc. and overlay everything on a background image. This process slides around some of the limits of the plugin in dealing with long titles etc. |

I'm not sure if it's just a weird glitch, but when I try to set the left margin, it seems to effect the right margin instead. Right margin seems to work properly. If it's just me, any ideas how to fix?

And my issue is still in effect. Still can't modify the left margin.

I posted a plea for troubleshooting directly to the forum before I realized this thread was probably the best place for it. Sorry!
Anyway, I have a bug where I selected a font that made the plugin freeze. I had to force close the plugin and now whenever I try to open the plugin, calibre freezes. I can't unselect the font and I can't recall the font name, so I'm at a bit of a loss. Uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin (multiple times) hasn't helped. |

Italic in titles
Hi all,
Some time ago, I questioned this forum about the way to do Italic in the title. I think the answer was ... No possible. Coming back at the problem with a new eye, I opened the georgiai.ttf in fontforge and saved it in ttf after having given a new name in the "name" properties. (Element > Info fonte > PS Name > Family Name) I installed the new font (named "Georgia Italic") in windows, as any font. After restarting Calibre, the "only italic" Georgia font was in the font list of the generate cover plugin, just under the normal Georgia That's it!!! Hope it helps, Regards François |

FYI, I am not kiwidude and this isn't my plugin. But I'm trying to help out by porting some of the plugins I use regularly while kiwidude is busy.
Attached is a test version that should work for both the existing 1.X calibre and the upcoming 2.X version calibre. 2.x will use PyQt5 which requires changes to virtually all plugins. This version needs to be tested with the existing calibre. Brave souls to test with with the beta 2.X version would also be appreciated. Links to the 2.X beta and discussion of the transition (for plugins) can be see at: Attn plugin developers: calibre moving to Qt 5. Updated Jul 10 for a slightly better version--should be an internal only difference that isn't noticeable. Last edited by JimmXinu; 04-03-2015 at 04:46 PM. Reason: Remove obsolete test versions - replaced by newer test or released version. |

Thanks JimmXinu
did some simple tests on 1.200 portable and 1.33 portable, no problems. Tested on 1.43 64 install version with my real libraries - no problems I'm only testing the features I use - I don't test exhaustively. Psst - Import List ? BR |

Thanks, BR.
FYI, I've updated the zip on the earlier post for a slightly better version--should be an internal only difference that isn't noticeable. Last edited by JimmXinu; 07-10-2014 at 11:53 PM. Reason: Add the word 'updated'--makes more sense then. |
