Adding a new file type in "Save to device" list

LARdT · 12-19-2010, 10:02 AM

Kovid, I asked about this before but I am not able to find the messages, so would you please be so kind to remind me of:

- How may I add a new file extension to the list of e-book file types in "Save to device" option? More precisely I want to add a new "TEF" extension to the list ncluded in "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\calibre\devic e_drivers_FOLDER_DEVICE_FOR_CONFIG.py"

- After modifiying the code, do I have to recompile it in order to make a "custom" CALIBRE? If such is the case, I suppose I'll to repeat the procedure aftter each CALIBRE update. ¿?

Thanks for your help.
