It worked!

There are minor issues:

1. Whenever I call "config" or "Configure this plugin" I got the following window: (macOS, Ventura 13.2.1, Intel)

See the first image:

The big appearance of this window it not nice, but - as I said - it works.

2. I am using emojis in my title, but I noticed I could not use them in the template field. It is not a big deal, as I can add this part of the title in Obsidian. But still, it defeats the automatic routine.

Some other possible improvements to streamline the workflow:

I am using preferentially the option "Send all highlights of selected books" after I have read a book.

(a) It would be charming to have the possibility of a shortcut for this option. Currently, I could only find three possible shortcut options for
  • Resend Highlights to Obsidian
  • Send New Highlights of Selected Books
  • Send New Highlights to Obsidian

In this context I did not understand the last paragraph in your help window:

Quote:
You can set keyboard shortcuts in Preferences-> Shortcuts-> H20. Some available keyboard shortcuts include CTRL+S, CTRL+E, CTRL+G, CTRL+H, CTRL+], and CTRL+K.
(b) As I am choosing always to transfer all the highlights of just one book, the warning window bothers me:

Quote:
Are you sure you want to send ALL highlights of the selected books to obsidian? This cannot be undone.
Maybe you could provide an option to hide this dialog?

(c) Similar with the success window: it is nice to know the number of highlights, but my workflow is:
  1. Go to Calibre and select the book
  2. Transfer all the highlights of this one book (if I had already transferred highlights of this book, I delete the corresponding file in Obsidian. This is much easier as fuddling with "Last time the highlights were sent")
  3. The program changes to Obsidian and I am going to revise my highlights.
  4. BUT I have to go back and confirm the success dialog of the H20 plugin.

I am not sure what would be a practical solution. Another option to hide this window? Or better: To provide this information into the Obsidian file? (At the beginning or at the end of the highlights?)

I apologize for these many suggestions, but I really love your plugin. It is for me a game changer, especially as Calibre provides very robust exact links to the highlights. These links are important as one has to go back many times to the original text to see the context of the highlights. (I am planning to write an article for my German weblog about your plugin. I will send you the link when this has happened.)

All the best
