[GUI Plugin] Modify ePub - Page 84

Something about write and KeyError at the bottom of the log file.

Edit: unchecking "Remove unmanifested files from ePub" gets rid of this error and it finishes successfully.

So simple yet so life-changing. I can read the book now!

P.S.
To be clear, the Caliber reader would not let me change the type of font until I did this.

The next time another thing you could try is using CSS unset; the Calibre reader honors this in my tests. In Calibre's Preferences I've added the following to the Conversion, Common Options, Look & Feel, Styling, Extra CSS, and then I have Append extra CSS checked for the plugin.

Code:

p {
    margin-top: 0em;
    margin-bottom: 0em;
    text-align: left;
    text-indent: 1.5em;
}

body {
    font-family: unset;
    line-height: 1.2;
}

The font-family:unset is the only one that matters in your case; the other stuff is my preferences.

Let’s take a look...

Spoiler:

My instinct on this one is to look at the odd filename. I suspect the @ symbols may be causing trouble, even though neither Windows nor MacOS forbids them. Another possibility could be the sequence of smartening vs. removal; the log shows that the plugin is trying to apply both functions to the file. If it’s getting deleted before it gets smartened, that could definitely complicate matters.

Could you see if you get the same error when only trying to remove unmanifested files?

Hi guys, I haven't found an answer for the question of #3rd and #4th reply of this thread on 'how to remove color or background color from css'.

If anyone interested, I found a small hack how to strip a CSS style with 'Append extra CSS' of this plugin. E.g. if you want strip a background-color:

Quote:

.calibre {
background-color: initial;
}

If you know a better way to do this (like really remove the

Quote:

background-color: #A0A0A0;

from batch of books), let me know.

Removing color is not a feature of this plugin. But if you do an epub to epub conversion you can remove colors by going to the Look & feel section of the conversion settings - Styling Tab - scroll down and check the Colors box then run the conversion. This should remove colors from the converted book.

Yes, I tried that, but an epub-epub convert is an overkill to this, and it messes up the wrapping; it removes a lot of new line characters somewhy.

The easiest solution is to open the ePub in the Editor and go to the CSS and remove any color lines you want to get rid of.

It is OK to this way in one book, but not in hundreds of books. I will look into this plugin's code and will add an option to strip background-color from the CSS.

Where did you get those eBooks? Color codes like that are not the norm.

Modify ePub really isn’t built for that type of manipulation. The engine isn’t designed for it, in the same way that cars aren’t built to be driven underwater. To clarify, from a post contemporary to the ones you looked at:

That’s a significant undertaking, and not one anybody has really wanted to tackle. There are a lot of ways to get that wrong, and referring someone to calibre’s ebook editor for a case-by-case solution is far easier (and safer).

Rev. Bob · 10-04-2019, 04:00 AM

I’ve been doing some review to make sure what the current status of this plugin is, and here’s my assessment so far.

First post: Kiwidude’s latest revision, v1.3.13, from 2015. Latest official release, AFAIK.
Fork 1, on my machine: A stable beta that adds some minor unpretty enhancements.
Fork 2, in post 1127: A version-number bump which adds an option to remove page map files, from late 2017.
Fork 3, in post 1208: A patch for a reported bug, from May of this year. Source code posted, but not incorporated into a currently available version due to other issues.

If that’s an accurate summary of the current status, it’s past time to harmonize everything into a proper, official update. I’m looking at calling the final result either v1.3.15 or v1.4.0, to avoid any confusion with other forks. Does anybody have any further information to add before I start working on such a merge?

(Opinions on whether 1.3.15 or 1.4.0 is preferred would be useful, but secondary to the key question of whether other forks exist that need to be folded in.)

BetterRed · 10-04-2019, 04:44 AM

Since 2019-05-01 08:25 I've been using version 1.3.14 (ex post #1208), I installed it to do some regression tests for JX, i.e. not to test or use additional featues. It didn't break anything so I kept it.

For no particular reason I suggest version 1.4.0

Where did you get the idea what is the norm? Even the first question on this thread from 2011 is about this problem...

Well, I looked into the code of the plugin (ver 1.3.13) and I'm pretty sure, I could change css.py/rewrite_css to remove all background color settings with a regex in the variable 'data'.

Do you plan to share the code of the merged changes on github?

I've been running 1.3.14 with no problem. I think it's a good idea to make your version the standard version. It works very well. If 1.4.0 is working no problem, then use that one. Can the latest version please be attached since it seems I have an older version? Thanks.
