annoywife · 02-01-2015, 09:25 AM

I have a Calibre plugin that I want to run when any file is imported into Calibre. The only plugin type I have found on http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/plugins.html that will run when a file is imported is a FileTypePlugin, but it looks like the file types for which the plugin will run must be manually keyed into the plugin code.

Is there a way to construct a FileTypePlugin so that it runs when any file type is imported by Calibre? Alternatively, is there another type of plugin that could accomplish this goal?

Thanks for your help.
