The "file:" url isn't working. It's probably Windows only, but the following doesn't work:

Code:
url1:file://E:/Download/KoboBooks-BookStats.jpg
Checking the code, in ebooks/metadata/sources/identify.py, there is:

Code:
if url and re.match(r'ur[il]\d*$', k) is not None and url.startswith('http'):
Changing that to:

Code:
if url and re.match(r'ur[il]\d*$', k) is not None and (url.startswith('http') or  url.startswith('file')):
Gets the file link displayed, but the colon after the "e" is lost somewhere in the parsing. I get the following error in the console:

Code:
ShellExecute 'file://e/Download/KoboBooks-BookStats.jpg' failed (error 3).
