Is it possible to start GUI from debug script?

Pepin33 · 12-08-2012, 07:40 AM

I'm using calibre-debug -e command to load a python script and perform some actions. I would like to launch Calibre's GUI after that. Is it possible to do this from the script running in debug mode?

If not... is there a way to execute some python code just on loading of Calibre?

I'm asking that because I want to make a very simple modification of the behavior in an iaction in the program, and I need to do this just when Calibre starts.

Look in gui2/main.py for how calibre is launched. You can replicate some of that in your script.
