New Version 1.4.7
Update: Support for different encodings in csv tab.
Update: Changes to make the plugin translatable.
Update: Option to automatically map fields in csv tabs by reading header names if present.
Update: Add match by identifier to web tab.
Update: Add a scrollbar to controls in web tab.
Refactoring the code for match by identifier into one class in tab_common.py.
The new encodings combobox includes only three encodings by default (utf-8, utf-16, iso-8859-1), but has an add/remove option to add more encodings from a popup dialog. The feature to auto-map columns by reading csv headers is useful when exporting data using calibre's catalogue option, and then re-importing the data again.
I do not have the time or the necessary knowledge to offer long time support, but if there is problem related to changes I made, I will be happy to look at it, with no guarantees I will be able to fix or offer support.
Before using this version for your day to day use, it is better to test it first on a backup library.
Note to past/future maintainer(s) of this plugin:
I'm trying to keep the changes to this plugin as separate as much as possible from the original code. In line with this:
- I moved the code for match by identifier feature into one class in tabs_common.py module. This also made it easier to add the same feature to the web tab without code duplication.
- Also the code for encoding support is all in one separate module.
- Wherever I made a additions in the middle of the original code I made sure it is clearly marked by preceding them with (#{ Update: "update details ... ") and placing (#}) after.
