[GUI Plugin] Count Pages

[ctbk]

Hi! Looking at the previous messages I was not able to find a similar behaviour to what I'm experiencing, I hope this is not a dupe.

Basically after I've added a new book and I execute the Count Pages action the plugin will store in the dedicated column the word count. If I execute it again (and all the next times) it correctly stores the pages count.

Looking at the logs, it counts consistently pages & words on both runs. The difference is that the first run on a new book (and only the first) it will store the wrong number of the two.

It's not a big deal (I usually just run the plugin twice) but I find it curious.

I'm on the latest version of Calibre/Count Pages, running on a M1 Macbook, but this has been going on for a long time.

That does sound very odd and not something I have ever seen/experienced. However I would need a lot more than your description to look into it. Attach the log files from both the first time you run and the second time for the book. Are you definitely using the same method each time of invoking - you are not using the internet for one (which has no word count) and the plugins built in algorithms for the second run for instance. Also include a screenshot of your settings so can confirm what custom columns are assigned to each.

Here are the logs for both runs.

To launch the page count I've always used the button I've got on the main Calibre toolbar with the book selected in the Library view.

It's pretty weird, I agree...

I'm attaching the screenshots of the settings and the results of the first and second run: https://imgur.com/a/ROw3CZ5 (it seems like imgur flagged the images as "mature", I don't know why. I assure you it's safe to open them )

As I suspected - look again at your settings in the screenshot. You have the same custom column of #pages assigned to the word count column. You need a second custom column assigned there, such as #words

That was a heck of a blind spot for me!

Thanks, it makes sense.

I would like, again, to ask for support for the current Calibre Viewer page numbers.

Since version 1.13.1, this plugin shows the actual Calibre Viewer page count, see:

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...postcount=1666

Note that you need to re-run it on books that got the column #pages populated with the previous/outdated Count Pages Viewer algorithm!

Oh. My apologies

I have now updated the plugin and it works. I have complained about a non-issue.

Hi! Looking at the previous messages I was not able to find a solution for my problem. Apologies if someone else asked this before.

I'm having a problem with the word count. The plugin is all set correctly. I added a book to my library, downloaded goodreads metadata, launched the plugin estimating the word count and got a certain number in the column. I then proceeded to delete a portion of the text and launched again the plugin and i got a lower number. Good. After that i tried to download from goodreads but the number is not updating (the option to override is ticked). I tried downloading from other sources too but with the same result. Am i doing something wrong?

From Goodreads you only get pages, I think, no word counts.

[frengo]

Then why does it say "Download page/word counts"? Also none of the others seem to work either.

[theducks]

Did you create CUSTOM COLUMNS and then configure the plugin on which to use?

From Goodreads, you get incorrect page counts for eBooks.

Yes. I don’t care about pages so i skipped the creation of the column for that matter and i created just the column for the word counts. Do i need another column for goodreads counts?
