Anyone see this? I notice in stanza.xml that the epub hrefs are NOT url encoded. Does Stanza work property with the spaces in the hrefs? I tested that I can properly download the epub via Safari, so I know that the url is fine, once encoded. |

Sounds like a bug in --output-format stanza? |

By the way, I don't know if anybody has mentioned this yet, but Windows users can put the command to re-generate the Stanza XML file in a .bat file in your Dropbox directory and run it with a double-click.

I'm sorry to report that I'm still somehow being an idiot... I'm trying to run this command line: C:\Users\bb\Desktop\calibre>"C:\Program Files\Calibre2\calibredb.exe" list --output-format stanza --prefix https://www.sugarsync.com/share/br...........j > stanza.xml and I get the message: 'C:\Users\bb\Desktop\calibre' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I've tried adding or removing quotes too.... Where did I go wrong? Beau |

Beau: If you are using a PC to run Calibre you might also want to try using my Calibre2Web program. It should work fine in this environment as well and would give a you a heirarchically structured set of catalog files which you might prefer to use in Stanza.

I read that you were in the process of rewriting it in Python, and maybe integrating into Calibre... I hope this will work, and I'm eager to see it in action ! I'll try it on my work PC, but I don't have a network for my iPhone when I'm at work (I'm working in a foreign country), so I'll have to wait until this evening to check... |

I have tried continuing the addressing to the specific calibre file, adding the rest of the command with the same message. Adding parts 2 and 3 gets a long pause and nothing. I know there is something I'm being stupid about, I just don't know what, sorry. This is not something related to your instructions, I just need to figure out how to apply them in my environment. You've gone above and beyond and I do appreciate it. Beau (the bonehead... ) |

Ok, welcome to command-line-fu 101
The command line is the interface to the operating system. By typing commands, you give orders to the system and execute operations. Each command executes in its own environment, which is composed of a lot of different parameters and variables, the most important being the working directory. This is the directory in which the command will be executed ; every relative file path is relative to this working directory. The prompt (i.e. the beginning of the command line that is fixed and written by the operating system) usually includes the working directory, in order to make it explicit. For example, the command copy c:\tmp\test.txt toto.txt contains two file paths : one, absolute, points to the file c:\tmp\test.txt ; the other, relative, points to the file toto.txt in the working directory The command that changes the working directory is the command cd. So, in your case, when you open a command line interface, the working directory seems to be C:\users\bb ; change into the calibre library folder, for example cd C:\Users\bb\Desktop\calibre if that's the correct path, and note that the prompt changes accordingly. Then, type the command... Hope this helps, David. |

Thank you Sensei, you are too kind to your humble student.
I'm currently suffering from a turkey induced coma compounded by too much food and wine in general. My next step was going to be to try to find more complete directions for using the command line, and I thank you for saving me the trouble. I'll probably get to trying again sometime tomorrow as you couldn't pay me enough to go anywhere on 'Black Friday'. Thanks again David, you're the best! Beau |

Ok, I've fought past the coma, and have gotten the process to run. (Thank you David ).
When I go to the shared link, I get a "catalog error" message. I'm guessing this has more to do with the link I'm using to navigate to sugar sync then anything else. They provide a special link to be shared with anyone accessing the folder rather then the actual html. I'll see if I can find a different link and retry. Beau |
