v1.7.0 Released
Changes in this release:
Requires Calibre 0.8.18. As per the commetns I made on the Open With plugin thread, any keyboard shortcuts you have configured previously will be lost when upgrading to this version (but not your custom menus themselves). You can reassign shortcuts using Preferences->Toolbar or from the Customise Plugin screen for this plugin. This release should also fix the bug reported above from a regression in Calibre's SafeFormat template function, and should now have no issues with passing non-english names through to website searches. |

With new google image search we can drop images into the search bar and it returns similar images. I was wondering would it be possible to send covers for searching this way. Once I select a cover I would like to be able to find the same cover with the best resolution. Or some covers have stickers on top like special edition etc it would allow to find a clean cover.

The problem is that Google does some fancy internal logic on drag/drop to turn the image data for the image you dropped into encoded text of simg=XXXX in the url. If someone can figure out what the encoding is then maybe it would be possible to support it, but without that it is a non-starter imho.

Adding an item: Help with URL
Hello everyone.
I am tyrying to add Lecturalia as a source to the plugin (www.lecturalia.com, an acceptable reference site for Spanish language books). Lecturalia's search URL is Code:
http://www.lecturalia.com/libros/s/book-title-in-lowercase I've managed to replace the +'s that the plugin puts in the title spaces by -'s, as required by this particular website: Code:
http://www.lecturalia.com/libros/s/{title:re(\+,-)} Any hints will be very appreciated. Best from sunny Madrid, -Enrique |

enriquep - I'm afraid I have never taken the time to get my head around the syntax for those template expressions either beyond the few I have needed. I will PM chaley if he doesn't spot this thread, as he is the developer behind that template language and if he can't answer you no-one can

Try this using template program mode Code:
http://www.lecturalia.com/libros/s/{title:'lowercase(re($, '\+', '-'))'} Code:
program: strcat('http://www.lecturalia.com/libros/s/', lowercase(re(field('title'), '\+', '-'))) |

Just a quick question,
I can't seem to figure out the correct url for searching exact dimensions on google via this plugin, so I can add it to my plug-in. Does anyone know the url to put in the plugin? Cheers, Aleyst |

The link dwanthny sent is probably the best way for you.
Incidentally I think I also made that link one of the defaults included with the latest version of the plugin. So first-time users will see it available. For existing users, you have to click on the "Reset to defaults" button in the configuration dialog (however you would lose what menus you had checked and any customised urls unless you export them and re-import them). |

Thanks though, and that link actually was to the > 400x300, that is already included with the plugin, I'm a fanatic about updating so I always have the latest versions of plugins and of calibre itself. |

Unless I'm mistaken, having the latest version of this plugin does not mean you will have the latest packaged search options, unless you take the steps kiwidude outlined every time you update the plugin. |

90% of the time when I update, I start from scratch, I'm always finding things I want to change, so It's usually a complete fresh install.
However I didn't know about that, so thanks for that information. I am looking for covers, restricting/limiting is the idea. I'm looking for particular aspect ratios so. And basically since the overdrive metadata search is still not working.. as far as i can tell.. I go looking via google. But as I said, I'm a bit lazy, Search the book, then change the measurements is all well and good for a few books, but I'm gradually going through my library, so, tired hands. lol. ---- Please ignore the sentence structure, it's quite terrible.

You might want to add the Barnes & Noble, Goodreads, and Fantastic Fiction metadata download plugins. Between the three of them I can usually find a decent cover. |
