Would really appreciate any feedback on screenshots below before I post the plugin itself - anything obvious you see missing, confusing etc.
What is different in this version?
- First screenshot shows the "default" menu you will see. Similar to the existing plugin except the links happen to be alphabetically sorted.
- The "Configure plugin..." menu item at the bottom of the menu takes you straight to the new configuration dialog pictured in the second screenshot. You can also get to it via the conventional Preferences->Plugins->Customize approach.
- The new configuration dialog replaces using Tweaks. Hopefully more user friendly to use, less "hidden" and importantly won't require restarts of Calibre for changes to your menus to take effect. The downside is a one-off of no backwards compatibility if you had used Tweaks previously - you will have to reconfigure it using the new dialog.
- As mentioned in previous posts it comes with a whole bunch of websites preconfigured, you just tick the ones you want to see and move up/down as you like.
- Ability to group websites into sub-menus as you prefer. For instance all the ones you go to less frequently but still want access to without filling up your screen with a giant menu!
- As per Bertrand's request, the ability to open multiple websites with a single menu item/keyboard shortcut called "Open Group". If you don't have any websites ticked the menu item does not appear in your menu.
- Some slight logic changes to passing the Author to a website. It now attempts to pass it in FN LN format regardless of whether you store in Calibre as FN LN or LN, FN. Some websites with crappy search engines like Kobo require FN LN format or they won't find matches.
- An HTML help page that can be opened from the configuration dialog.
- Last screenshot just shows what a menu "might" look like using the various features.
