To test all ebooks automatically

gianni_fed · 05-07-2019, 09:27 AM

Hello,
instead of opening one ebook at a time, there is a way to test automatically that all ebooks in a library don't have any problems?
Thanks, bye.

Define 'problems'. I use the Count Pages plugin; if a book is really corrupt or DRM-infected, it won't be able to compute a page number for it.

But that only catches the grossest of issues. For more subtle problems, the Quality Check plugin may have useful options.

So far, no, I haven't found a single plugin that works as well as opening each book up to make sure it works. I lost some of my freebees long ago because I relied on other methods. Went to open them and gack - DRM locked! I only recently rediscovered this as I try to eliminate libraries created before Virtual Libraries option existed. I probably lost 20% of my freebee library. I cried in my coffee for about 20 seconds and moved on.

For the majority of my library which is stored as epub, I use a Windows batch file to step through the calibre library feeding all epubs to EpubCheck with output redirected to a text file. Not the fastest process but gives the computer something to do while I do other things.
