Hello all. I'm new to the Calibre Plugin world, and am looking for help and advice. I wrote a python script that I'd like to turn into a plugin that runs on_postimport. I downloaded and installed the helloworld_plugin.zip from the 'Write Your Own Plugin' page, and it shows up in the interface, but doesn't fire on file conversion. Even running in debug, I see the plugin add in, but not execute on conversions. I'm sure I'm doing something simple very wrong, but not sure what. Any help or advice would be appreciated.
