line-counter needed

schuster · 05-15-2011, 08:11 AM

i hope this is the right place for my question !

is it possible to integrate a line counter especially to the custom recipe input field.

it is tough to count the lines manually in cause of a failur-message that give me a line-count in the description.

as a beginner it double the difficult to write recipes if you count wrong and than change the recipe.

greetings

I suggest copy pasting the recipe into a proper editor that has many more features than the builtin edit control in calibre.

thanx Manichean for moving the thread in the right forum

@kovid,
yes you are right.
i have installed python 2.6.5 (is bug-fix version of 2.6 i believe)is this the right version for this?
and pyscripter for me as a beginner is good enough (not tooooo powerful)?

Just use a text editor. I'd recommend Notepad++ if you're on Windows. You'll have to test the recipes in Calibre anyway, so there's no need to use an IDE, and Notepad++ does Python syntax highlighting, which is nice to have.
