Delete Images in preview window / external script to customize code / shortcut

[abraum]

Hi,

at the moment i edit a very complex ebook that was created from abbyy finereader from a scanned book. the ebook contains a lot of images and sometimes i have to replace or delete an image. i can do this in the file browser with a right click on the image and delete or replace or export the image. its a lot of scrolling when i have more then 20 xhtml or image files. is there a way to have the same options directly when i right click on the image in the preview? here i can open an image with an external program but i miss the other options. also deleting the code (<img src=....>) would be interesting.

sometimes abbyy finereader makes the same terrible sh*t every time with the same kind of content (e.g. tables or lists). i have scripted some little shell scripts with a little bit search&replace that creates clear code. i would be helpful if i could highlight a part of the code, right click, "run external script" and copy back what the output of the script is.

and last:
can i create a shortcut for a regularly used tag (in my case figcaption)?

Clicking in Preview synchronizes Code view to the line.
Delete that line. That deletes the USAGE

At the end, Run tools:reports:Image files; Those with 0 are not used
You can delete the ACTUAL Image from there

Snippets do that. See this Kovid's post.
You have also a button "insert a tag" in the page's toolbar.

i can add a tag to the button but not insert a tag using a shortcut, e.g. ALT+F for 'figcaption'?

that's not what i mean. in my books very offen i have this situation:

<img .../>
<p>text</p>

and i want this

<figure>
<img .../>
<figcaption>
<p class="caption">text</p>
</figcaption>
</figure>

can i highlight the first code and then "do something", e.g. running a script with the highlighted text as input and output the second text?

there is a plugin called "Action Chains" and i've installed it. but i can't find it in the calibre editor? the plugin only works in the normal calibre GUI not in the calibre editor?

*assumed* follows
That the IMG tag is always followed by a caption (p tag)
(BTW I don't think a naked <img is allowed) I wrapped it in a basic div

REGEX (saved search if you intend to use again)
Simply search

(<img .+?</img>)\s+<p>(.+?)</p>

Replace:

<figure>
<div>\1</div>
<figcaption>
<p class="caption">\2</p>
</figcaption>
</figure>
