MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - [GUI Plugin] X-Ray Creator

Although inconsistent results, I found that deleting the .json and .sdr folder and recreating from scratch can sometimes generate the .asc/x-ray file.

I also think that the one particular book I was trying to generate the file with is slightly broken because when I go to look at "Specific Book Preferences", it's never able to automatically pick up the book like the rest of my books in Calibre. For this book, I have to Search for ASIN, Search for GoodReadsURL and then Push on Update Aliases from URL buttons. Only after those 3 buttons, does it populate with the correct information. After I do this, the X-RAY file does get created, but it seems broken when trying to be used on Kindle.

So I guess what I am trying to ask here is:

1. Can there be any X-RAY Correction done to the one that doesn't work well?

2. Is there a good indication of when an x-ray file will not work right?

I'm following this guideline at this time: If it doesn't have the book information automatically in the "Specific Book Preferences", I think it's safe to say the X-RAY will not work on Kindle. This is with my experience though.

Thanks in advance!
