Hi.
Can I check with you guys if any recent Calibre updates have made the script (chaley's) in post#552 to no longer work, or am I missing something in my workflow?

It used to work, but today the "complexseries" custom field didn't get populated after step#4 below. And the books I added today are part of a series.

This is what I normally do when I add new books:
  1. add books to Calibre
  2. edit metadata fields
  3. quit calibre and run chaley's script
  4. file named "script.txt" and I run from terminal with following commands
    Code:
    cd /Applications/calibre.app/Contents/MacOS 
    ./calibre-debug -e script.txt;
    I did make the changes to the 2 lines (to my calibre library path and the actual column name for the complex field)
  5. restart calibre and hook up my Kobo Aura, and then send the newly added books to device

The change that happen today was I was prompted about a calibre update and I ran that and it seems to have remove the script from the MacOS path, so I just copied over the copy from my Docs. But the script didn't appear to have worked as the column didn't get populated. Is there an error log from Terminal I can check to see what actually happen when the script was triggered (there's no error message)

So, what did I miss or did wrongly?
I pretty much copy+pasted all the suggestions on this thread to make it work before, and edited it to how I wanted.

If someone could shed some light on how I can troubleshoot further? It'd be a great help...

ps: the last time it worked, according to my last added book was on Jun 29th.
