Hi DiapDealer and first of all thanks for your plug-in :-)
I have quoted this old post because I'd like to determinate if a MOBI file is a mobi7, mobi8 or it's a mobi7+mobi8 version without unpacking it. If I understand well when I convert an ebook using Calibre I can use
MOBI Output option with OLD=Mobi7, NEW=mobi8 and BOTH=mobi7+mobi8
It would be nice to have an option in KindleUnpack plug-in that for every MOBI file selected sets a Calibre custom column with 0->MOBI type doesen't recognized, 1->MOBI7, 2->MOBI8, 3->BOTH
Is there in yuor source code a specific function that I can use to try to understand how to do that?
Thanks
Stefano
