> The only script I have that decrypts eReader files converts them into a PML file and a folder of images, and Calibre seems to like to have those as a zip file -- a PMLZ.

FWIW - As you know it is trivial to convert that scripts output to create a pmlz archive instead of a pml file and images. In fact, the code to do just that was contributed to the DR list recently.

So if I understand things, you want to use those additions and have that script work as a plugin to Calibre and somehow use its pmlz output as a temporary format internal to the plugin and have that be recognized and properly handled by Calibre.

Sort of a plugin for one format (pdb) that creates a different intermediate format (pmlz) -- which normally another input plugin would recognize and handle -- but all in one go.

Is that right?
