[GUI Plugin] Annotations (closed)

This thread is closed.

You can find the new thread for Annotations support
here.




The Annotations plugin imports annotations from supported ebook readers and applications described in the following table:



Main Features of v1.3.0:
  • Imports annotations from supported eBook reader applications.
  • Annotations may be added to Comments or a custom column.
  • Annotation appearance is fully configurable via CSS.
  • Collect News clippings from periodicals downloaded by Calibre (Kindle, Marvin).
  • Extensible architecture allows adding support for other eBook reader applications.
  • Enables fetching annotations directly from a connected iDevice without additional 3rd party software.
  • Adds improved support for international Kindle timestamps contributed by @-axel-.

Installation Steps:
  • Open Preferences|Plugins|Get new plugins to install the 'Annotations' plugin. Or, download the attached zip file and install the plugin manually, then restart calibre as described in the Introduction to plugins thread.

Plugin configuration:
  • By default, imported annotations will be added to calibre's Comments column.
  • If you'd prefer to add imported annotations to a custom column (recommended), open the Customize Annotations dialog by selecting Customize plugin… from the plugin's context menu. Use the custom column wizard in the Annotation options section to create a custom column.
  • If you choose to use a pre-existing custom column to receive annotations, click on the Annotations plugin icon to open the Configuration dialog, then select the custom column in the Annotation options dropdown list.
  • See Help in the plugin menu for additional information.

Typical Marvin workflow:
As of Marvin 2.0, Marvin users can use the Marvin XD plugin to transfer annotations directly from Marvin to calibre. The Annotations plugin still supports Marvin, but for most users Marvin XD will be the preferred approach. If you install the Marvin XD plugin, uninstall the Annotations plugin.
  • Calibre: Transfer books from calibre to Marvin, either via iTunes, email, OPDS or Marvin's web browser.
  • Marvin: Create some highlights/notes.
    Spoiler:
  • Marvin: Export the annotations (see Marvin export options below).
    Spoiler:
  • Calibre: Open the Annotations plugin context menu, select Import annotations from…Marvin
  • Drag the exported file to the plugin window, then click OK to import the annotations.
  • Select a book, click Preview to preview the annotations to be added to calibre.
    Spoiler:
  • Click Import Annotations to add the imported annotations to the selected book in calibre's database.
  • Open calibre's Metadata editor to view the imported annotations.
    Spoiler:

Typical Kindle workflow:
The Kindle UI must be set to English for the plugin to be able to retrieve locations and timestamps from your 'My Clippings.txt' file.
  • Calibre: Transfer books from calibre to Kindle, either via email, Kindle's experimental web browser, or while directly connected to calibre.
  • Kindle: Create some highlights/notes.
  • Calibre: Open the Annotations plugin context menu, select Fetch annotations from Amazon Kindle.

Typical GoodReader workflow:
  • Computer: Transfer books from calibre to GoodReader via iTunes. See this GoodReader explanation of how to transfer books from your computer to GoodReader via USB.
  • GoodReader: Create some highlights/notes.
  • GoodReader: While reading a book, tap the center of the screen so that the overlay controls are shown. Tap the Share icon (bottom right). Tap E-mail Summary, then email the annotations to yourself.
  • Computer: After receiving the emailed annotations summary, select and copy the contents of the annotations summary email.
  • Calibre: Select the book in your calibre library to receive the imported GoodReader annotations.
  • Calibre: Open the Annotations plugin context menu, select Import annotations from…GoodReader, then paste the annotations summary into the dialog window.

Modifying the appearance of imported annotations:
  • Click the Annotations plugin icon, or select Customize plugin from the context menu.
  • Click Modify appearance…
    Spoiler:
  • The Preview window shows a live preview of the formatting options.
  • Edit the CSS in the Annotation elements window
  • To move an element up or down, click the name of the element (Text, Note or Timestamp), then click the up or down arrow to move that element.
  • To restore an element's CSS to its last saved values, select the element, then click the restore button.
  • To reset an element's CSS to default values, select the element, then click the recycle button.
  • To change the format of the timestamp, edit the Timestamp format. Click the Help icon to see formatting values for the timestamp. Click the recycle button to reset the timestamp to its default value.

How the plugin decides where to add imported annotations
Spoiler:
When the plugin imports annotations, it calculates a confidence index for the book receiving the annotations based upon three metadata items: Title, Author, and the calibre uuid. If all three are matched with a book in your calibre library, the annotations are added without any user intervention. With a partial metadata match, the plugin guesses which book should receive the annotations and asks for user confirmation. With no metadata matching, the user is offered the option to add the annotations to the currently selected book in the library.


Marvin export options:
Spoiler:
To export annotations from a single book:

From within an open book:
  • Tap Table of Contents (book icon at top left)
  • Tap Share (arrow icon at top right)
  • Tap Export Annotations, then email the annotations file to yourself
From the Library screen:
  • Slide the book to the left, then tap Share
  • Tap Export Annotations, then email the annotations file to yourself
After receiving the emailed annotations file:
  • Open the context menu for the Annotations plugin
  • Select Import annotations from…Marvin
  • Drag the exported annotations file to the Import Marvin annotations window
  • Click OK
To export all annotations:
  • In Marvin's Home screen tap Settings (gear icon at top left)
  • Choose the Services tab, then swipe left to the Calibre icon
Via Email:
  • Tap the Export File button, then choose Email
  • Email the annotations to yourself
  • Open the context menu for the Annotations plugin
  • Select Import annotations from…Marvin
  • Drag the exported annotations file to the Import Marvin annotations window
  • Click OK
Via iTunes:
  • Tap the Export File button, then choose Documents directory
  • In iTunes, select your connected iDevice in the DEVICES menu
  • Click the Apps tab
  • Scroll down to File Sharing, then select Marvin in the Apps list
  • Drag library.mrvi from Marvin Documents to your desktop
  • Open the context menu for the Annotations plugin
  • Select Import annotations from…Marvin
  • Drag library.mrvi from your desktop to the Import Marvin annotations window
  • Click OK


Special Notes:
  • Requires calibre 1.0.0 or later.

Developer Notes:
The Annotations plugin can be extended to support devices whose annotations can be fetched while connected via USB, or exported via email. If you are a developer interested in adding support for a particular device or reader app meeting these requirements, contact me for more information.

internationalization support?

Hi,

was trying to use the plugin (as included in calibre portable 0.9.23) and it did not find any annotations on my Kindle Paperwhite.

Created a debug file via plugin options, which says:


c:\dokume~1\axel\lokale~1\temp\calibre_annotations _plugin\Kindle.py:_parse_my_clippings(failed with line: u'- Ihre Notiz auf Seite 14 | Position 203 | Hinzugef\xfcgt am Sonntag, 2. September 2012 um 00:40:38 Uhr\n')
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Traceback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\dokume~1\axel\lokale~1\temp\calibre_annotation s_plugin\Kindle.py", line 361, in _parse_my_clippings
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'ts' referenced before assignment
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
action:fetch_device_annotations(Amazon Kindle)
action:fetch_device_annotations(INFO: <p>Unable to find any annotations on Amazon Kindle matching books in your library.</p>)


It quotes the second line in My Clippings.txt, which is in deed localized to German by the Kindle. So it looks like the plugin can not handle Kindle set to language different from English, does it?

I could try to change Kindle language to English, but I wonder if this would change all entries in My Clippings.txt or only new ones...? Anyway I'd rather not switch language.

Best
Axel

@-axel-,
I need to see your My Clippings.txt file to better understand the problem.

Please copy 'My Clippings.txt' from your Kindle to your computer, then send me a PM with that file as an attachment. If it's too big, you can zip it to make it smaller.

@GRiker
attached you find My Clippings.txt. I've removed some clipping entries from the beginning using notepad.exe.

Got into software tester mood, so I also created a note containing some interesting non-ASCII characters, copied the file back to Kindle renamed as test.txt and marked the "==========" separator in there.

By the way, sometimes the first line of an entry starts with a 3 byte UTF-8 character, which is displayed as a centered dot by notepad++ and as a caret by notepad. Do you know what that means? I don't have a binary editor here... but maybe Kindle repeatedly prefixes entries with UTF-8 BOM?

Cheers
Axel

@Axel, the problem is definitely related to the fact that your My Clippings.txt stores the timestamp of the annotation in German. I will do some research to see if I can find a way of handling multiple languages. It won't be right away, I'm in the midst of another project.

I will add a note to the Kindle section explaining that the UI must be set to English.

Yes, that's the conclusion I came to as well.

Thanks a lot for your fast feedback.

Duh, yes, parsing back the date/time is even risky in a single language; too many ways to write human readable day/time. Doing so for many languages... even with a mature library it is still asking for trouble. Amazon may decide to "improve" the format at any time.

I guess if I had to program a parser I would opt to keep everything after the last "|" a string. Comparing for equality should still work. Sorting by date won't work, but preserving order of entries may be good enough for most uses.

In the end the question is what is to be / can be done with the notes and highlights. What I am currently looking for is a way to quickly and easily edit a book based on my notes&highlights. Considering that calibre isn't much of an ebook editor, I guess that anyway isn't something your plugin offers, or does it?

I've uploaded a new version of the plugin, 1.1.1, which substitutes the current time if it can't parse the timestamp from My Clippings.txt. This will at least allow you to fetch your annotations.

If you want to try your hand at modifying the Kindle code, explode the plugin, find the document 'developer_notes.txt', follow the directions in step 4.

@chaley had a great suggestion - use the online translation service at http://www.bing.com/translator to try to translate the line to English. This would assume an internet connection, and could be slow, as it would need to execute a translation for every annotation, but it could potentially solve the problem. There's a limit of 2MB of text per month through that site for free, so it would mean that individual users would need to have their own API key. This isn't something that I'm going to do in the near term, but you're welcome to try.

I've come at this from a number of different angles, and the approach I'm currently using is to do proofreading on an iPad using Marvin. It supports multiple highlight colors, so you can color-code your markup.

I use Sigil to do the (ePub) editing. It has full-text search, so it's pretty quick to pull up the annotations (either in Calibre or on the iPad), then find the corresponding point in Sigil and correct it.

I tried doing this using the Kindle PW, but it was ultimately an exercise in frustration. The interface is just too slow for making annotations.

Sadly the date is not the end of the internationalization problems. I still can not fetch my annotations, but I get a new error:
Code:

File "c:\dokume~1\axel\lokale~1\temp\calibre_annotations_plugin\Kindle.py", line 406, in _parse_my_clippings
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'
Note that instead of "Location" German Kindle uses "Position".

Quote:

In general that will create more problems than it solves. For example "Position" is also an English word, so it is no surprise the Microsoft translation keeps it. Expecting a translation to always use "Location" when there are a lot of synonymous words would be naive. Auto-translation may work for the date/time, but I see some irregularities in the translations. Sometimes it translates one way, sometimes another. Who knows, tomorrow it may use something else again.

For .net I would try to use the built in "Culture" support. Python may have something similar? IIRC the Unix world often calls it "locale".

Also note that if you tackle internationalization, you also will have to adjust the constants 'Highlight', 'Bookmark', and 'Note' in lines 345 ff in Kindle.py.

I find PW acceptable to highlight some place where an edit is needed.

I'm more annoyed by having to use text search to locate a highlight in Sigil. There is the click-work for copy, paste and search. That's ok if you have just a few edits to do. But do it a 100 times and it becomes annoying.

And there is the problem of ambiguity. An extreme example would be if I highlight an extra word "a" in the text. When I see it at the location, it becomes obvious why I marked it. But searching all "a" in the book takes some time. Some (approximate) support for "Go to location" would help.

But I guess that is another topic.

Thanks for your feedback and for trying to quick-fix the problem.

@-axel-,
I fixed the Position/Location error, version 1.1.2 should work properly for you.

As far as your ambiguity problem, I always highlight context around the typo to make it easier to find the fragment. If I think I won't remember the typo or the reason for the markup, I add an annotation to the highlight explaining the markup.

With this plugin installed, I can't drag-and-drop new formats into existing book record in calibre. Calibre freezes, and I have to use the task manager to kill it.

tilia, in the other thread you cited you posted a message saying that you resolved the problem. Is that correct?

No, the problem with adding new formats to books is still there. (I wrote drag-and-drop, but it's not possible from the meta-data window either). I also had a problem using the plugin. After deleting three entries in My Clippings.txt, I can now use the plugin to import annotations from my K3. That's what my last post in the other thread was about.

There actually seems to be some conflict between your plugin and Alf's DRM-plugin. If I disable the DRM-plugin, I can add new formats to book records with Annotations installed. So I'm not sure if this is something that can be fixed by you, or by them.

Unhappy Can't modify appearance nor import annotations

Hello all together,

I'm just testing this plugin and I got following errors:

My procedure was...
- Marvin for iPad export Annotations (send by e-Mail)
- Drag'n'drop *.MRV in the windows "Drag an exported Marvin annotations file (*.mrv, *.mrvi) to this window"
- Click Preview

Following error appears:
calibre, version 0.9.33
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>UnboundLocalError</b>:local variable 'ts_style' referenced before assignment

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre_plugins.annotations.annotated_books", line 392, in show_annotated_books_dialog_clicked

File "calibre_plugins.annotations.annotations", line 140, in to_HTML
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'ts_style' referenced before assignment

-------------------------------------------

- Or when I click Import annotations, following error occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre_plugins.annotations.action", line 866, in present_annotated_books
File "calibre_plugins.annotations.action", line 901, in process_selected_books

File "calibre_plugins.annotations.annotations", line 140, in to_HTML
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'ts_style' referenced before assignment

-------------------------------------------

Another error occurs when I click "Modify appearance" in Customize Annotations:

calibre, version 0.9.33
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>UnboundLocalError</b>:local variable 'ts_style' referenced before assignment

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "calibre_plugins.annotations.appearance", line 330, in preview_css
File "calibre_plugins.annotations.annotations", line 140, in to_HTML
UnboundLocalError: local variable 'ts_style' referenced before assignment

-------------------------------------------


I have just installed Calibre 0.9.33 + Annotations 1.1.2 (MAC-VERSION)
+ Apple iDevice interface 0.0.6

I've already tried
- install the plugin manual
- changed language of calibre (from German to English)

...nothing has helped

Please
