Subject Catalog

SidewalkCynic · 03-06-2011, 01:36 PM

I have developed a consistent general subject catalog for digital information - Secular Library Classification. I guarantee it will be apart of the future of technology. It will replace both the Dewey Decimal and Library of Congress classification systems - you will kick yourself for having not been the person to devise it, because it is simply a list.

As it is, I have the system set up as five partitions of my hard drive and SDcard for the Archive. All the information I download is fairly easily directed to specific areas of the classification system. The problem I am encountering is that Calibre, and I suspect all such applications, are based on creating their own directory library systems. I download a PDF to my directory system to the specific subject, and then I want to convert it to a UPUB, and then it gets all messy as it has to export the PDF to the Calibre library, and so, I wind up with a couple of PDFs and folders based on the author names.

What I want to do is grab a PDF from my hard drive and convert it into a UPUB on to my Kobo into the replication of the classification system on the Kobo - there are two systems, one on the hard drive and one on the Kobo. I only want UPUBs on the Kobo and I want them in the specific directories. It would also be nice if the eReader could browse the directory system instead of by title and author indexes.

Any ideas out there? I'm not seeing it in my first reviews of this forum.

Just import to Calibre, convert, export into your own structure again. Or use ebook-convert on the command line.

You are mighty glib with your empty use of guarantee. You offer nothing to back fullfilment of your claims. A guarantee is supposed to offer compensation when the conditions or terms of a promise are not met. You claim to guarantee your new system (which looks like a rehash of existing systems) will replace others in, what was it, 10 years? What compensation do you offer if your system doesn't replace everything else by then?

Also, I'm thinking your question at the end of your post is just a beard for what appears to be blatant spam at the beginning of your post and has been reported as such.

Your idea may or may not have merit but this doesn't belong in the calibre thread.

This isn't a problem its a feature, read this sticky post.

I don't believe calibre supports uPub created documents.

I have a couple of ideas, assuming you meant ePub.

1. Install calibre and use only the command line interface to accomplish what you want.

2. If you must spam your genius idea, please pick a more appropriate forum to do it in. This thread is only tangentially related to calibre.

So much spam reports. Maybe if I posted something religious...
