Tabbed Driver Configuration

[jackie_w]

I removed the .json file before retesting. No errors found.

[davidfor]

I have made a few updates to the driver in the last couple of days. Most are some refactoring at the request of jackie_w. But, there is also missed something that was going to break the extended driver when it was updated. So, anyone who is using my branch, please update and tell me how it goes.

And speaking of the extended driver, I promised a version that would work with either the released version of calibre, or my branch. I have created this today and have attached it. Again, please test it and tell me if there are any problems.

Note: If you change the driver configuration while using my branch, you will need to redo the configuration if you go back to the released version. Of course, I hope you like my updates enough that you don't want to go back

I'm trying to use it but I see the previous interface

EDIT: I'm dense, but after installing the driver on your branch I get this error:

Did you update the code from my branch? I made a change to a little bit before my post to fix this problem.

[Terisa de morgan]

I downloaded it yesterday morning but I'll download it again

[Terisa de morgan]

I've already downloaded the new code and it works quite well (I prefer these settings a lot).

Good to here. Both that it is working and that you like the changes.

[davidfor]

For those keeping track, I raised the pull request the other night and Kovid has accepted it. This should be in the next release.

And thanks to those who tested and commented.

[Terisa de morgan]

Thank you to you, David. It's working nice and it looks clearer.

[Terisa de morgan]

@davidfor, a greedy one here Are you going to update the driver for sending the comments with template too? Thank you

[davidfor]

@Terisa: Not in this lot. I wanted to get the configuration changes in because most of the other things I want to add need options turn them on or off. One of those things is to update the metadata when the device is connected. This won't have as many options as the utilities plugin. I was mainly planning on/off, ignore purchased kepubs, the current series info option and maybe clear subtitle. And this will use the metadata plugboard. That will mean the metadata gets updated the same way as when sending the book.

But, I'm not sure if that will include templates for the comments. I'm not sure if including the template in the driver config is the right thing. I suppose what I wish is that the metadata plugboard included comments as one of the fields that could be changed. Then we could do whatever we want through a plugboard.

I agree with you about the plugboard. Do you know where I could begin to check it? Because it can be a summer project.

"gui2/preferences/plugboards.py", has the line:

self.dest_fields = ['',
                            'authors', 'author_sort', 'language', 'publisher',
                            'tags', 'title', 'title_sort']

Adding "comments" to that list will add comments to the fields in the metadata plugboard editor. I have been using this for a while with no problems. I made sure the template I use works without error to generate valid code. I haven't traced through the code that executes the plugboard to see what could go wrong.

Thank you very much, I'm already using it. And with the tip at other thread about compiling only the class, I'm already using the "standard" version, instead of running from source.

Well, if the html is wrong (as a result of the bug I've reported in another thread), the plugboard skips that part.
