Ooops. That should teach me to play with regexes at 3 AM ^^ Then we'll have to add a bit more stuff: Set the 'Rename from' column to: ^.*?$ Set the 'Rename to' column to: Your *Single* Collection Name And hope that the plugin is smart enough not to put a book multiple times in the same collection...

That approach appears to assume that every book has at least one tag and that any book with the special tag has no other tags.
Thanks, though. Last edited by tlc; 02-04-2012 at 09:18 PM. |

@tlc:
Er, I don't even know if the plugin doesn't just skip the book if there's no tag at all, so, you'd have to try, but if it doesn't, that shouldn't cause any trouble. But, yeah, you're right about the last part, if a book had the special tag *and* other tags, it would end up in the collection. And I just remembered that there's also the ignore feature, which is a bit more straightforward than the reverse match via regex... -_-" |

So I need to either play with custom columns or add the opposite tag to my tags. Thanks, though. -tlc |

Another weird question. Today I was looking through the Calibre manual online for a way to create a list of books found in a search as a text document (to hunt thrift stores for books I'm missing in a series), and stumbled over the idea of hierarchical lists. I jumped on the idea of doing sub-series!
But now I'm looking for collection support. Ideally, my books should appear BOTH in the main series collection and the "Main.Sub" collection. Of course, it only puts them in main.sub at the moment. Don't know if this requires a change of my use or the plugin, but I can't imagine I'd be the only one to want this. |

Where is this non utf8 code?
First plugin usage. The following error appears and no plugin GUI.
calibre, version 0.8.38 ERROR: Failed to view collections: <b>Failed</b>: View Kindle Collections 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 63-64: invalid continuation byte Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 81, in run File "calibre_plugins.kindle_collections.kindle_view_co llections", line 46, in run File "calibre_plugins.kindle_collections.kindle_view_co llections", line 82, in generate_existing_kindle_collections_report File "calibre_plugins.kindle_collections.kindle_sor t", line 54, in sort_names File "calibre_plugins.kindle_collections.kindle_sor t", line 125, in sort_compare_kindle_names UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 63-64: invalid continuation byte I don't know where to look to fix this character to make the plugin work. My kindle is version 3.3 and almost all my title are Italian. Thanks for the help! mario Last edited by vallema; 02-06-2012 at 09:52 AM. Reason: Forgot introduction |

The plugin author will probably have an answer later. I suspect this is an error/damage in the collections database kept on/and used by, your K3. Do you see any odd characters in a collection name on your K3? |

OK. I'm in the midst of setting all my Genre info in a new custom column so I can get the Collections I want on my Kindle, when I realize that Calibre2opds doesn't utilize custom cols, only tags.
And, IIRC, it does all my tags, not letting me exclude stuff. I like Calibre2opds' generation of static HTML that I can serve with any http server (& dropbox!), rather than calibre's server. Are there other alternatives that can use custom columns? @meme, want to generate some HTML, too? It'd be great if these two features were driven by the same meta-data. -tlc Last edited by tlc; 02-06-2012 at 12:27 PM. |

It's usually associated with a problem in the file name of one of the books. Running in Debug mode usually identifies which one.

Apologies if this is a repeat but searching this thread for a particular request is pretty painful.
I have just started using the plugin and the customisation looks like it's going to be pretty fantastic. I have copied the example custom column config to create collections based on author unless there is a tag called Non-Fiction: {tags:'contains($,"Non-Fiction","Non-Fiction", field("author"))'} Is there a way to replace 'Non-Fiction' with a wildcard so the expression would read 'if there is any tag at all, use that for the collection, otherwise use the author name'? Thanks EDIT: I have tried {tags:'contains($,field("tag"),field("tag"), field("author"))'} but although that correctly pulls in whatever the tag is called, it seems to lose the author name as the default... EDIT: And things like {tags:'contains($,.*,field("tag"), field("author"))'} trying to use a wildcard as the first part of the test but it really doesn't like that!

Hi A quick question, will this plugin work on the new Kindle touch? or is there one that will help with organizing my steadily increasing ebook collection.
Thanks in advance |

{tags:'ifempty($, field('author'))'} does the job. |

Thanks Kiwidude
I was simply hoping that there had been a breakthough or perhaps someone had discovered a work around. I'll keep looking and if I find anything I'll post it Cheers, Last edited by gryphonreader; 02-17-2012 at 01:39 AM. Reason: spelling |
