Nothing has happened in Calibre. I guess I was execting to see a new format of 'txt'
And no books have a txt file showing.
And when I went back into my Calibre Library (which is where the file is) its gone.
I'm out of options now. Can anyone guide me on what I'm doing wrong please  |
First, you should not get the "usual Welcome". That means that the file name you passed is not correct.
Here is an example of what starting the script should look like. The file names are not what you would use, but the form is correct. The first command (dir) checks that the file name of the test script is correct by printing some information about it. The second command, calibre-debug, actually runs the script. I added the -e option so that calibre-debug knows to expect a script. I suggest you do the same thing.
If all goes well when you start the script, it won't say anything but will take a fair amount of time to run. Do not start calibre while it is running! If you get bored after a time, use CTRL-C to kill the script, at which point you can start calibre to see if any txt formats have appeared.
Be sure that calibre is not running when you start the script.
