[*]I have not tested this plugin on anything other than Windows. If someone running Calibre can feedback success or failure on other platforms it would be appreciated by others I am sure.[*]After editing the ePub, regardless of whether you make changes no information is updated in the Calibre database (such as the CRC for this file). I'm not aware of any downside to doing this and it is fairly common for users to directly edit formats of files. [/LIST] Installation Steps:- Follow installation steps as per first post in this thread
- Add a custom tweak value in Preferences->Tweaks reflecting the path to your editor such as Sigil. In the snippet below (Windows 7 64-bit) my path is as follows:
Code:
# Specify path to your ePub editor for 'Open ePub in Editor' plugin
epub_editor_path = 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Sigil\\Sigil.exe'
- Restart Calibre and add the command to your context menu or toolbar as appropriate.
Feedback/suggestions welcomed. For instance this could be enhanced with a keyboard shortcut and icon if people want it. |
Well, I'm on a Mac OSX, and I don't know HOW to specify the path to Sigil (not used to that kind of "direct" coding - more used to GUI choosing menu).
Could you tell me how to do it.... my attempts all lead to "OSError:[Errno 2] No such file or directory"
Thank you...
