Accessing the Book Details popup
Hi all,

Is it possible to access the Book Details popup (i.e. the one that responds to the "i" key) programmatically?

I have a QTableWidget in my plug-in that has a list of calibre e-books. I'd like to respond to double-click to display the book details.

Failing that, is it possible to convert metadata to html? I tried this:

mi = self.gui.current_db.new_api.get_metadata(id)
html = render_html(mi, True, None) #DOESN'T WORK

but got an error:

AttributeError: Metadata object has no attribute named: 'path'

Spoiler:

Traceback (most recent call last):
