You'll have to be patient, it'll take a little while before plugins start to show up.

This works if I just do a script in pythonwin, but when I load a lit file to calibre, nothing happens.

I'm attaching the script I'm trying to use in case it's helpful to anyone.

Run the import at a terminal with

Code:

calibredb add path_to_lit_file

You should see some debug output that explains why the plugin is failing

Sounds great! If anyone can help Zelda, I'd sure like to know how, too.

Finally got it working.

The relevant line is:
subprocess.call('"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\winword.exe"',shell=True)

even using notepad++ it ended up giving me fits with the end of line characters and indentation.

But, anyone who wants to be able to run Dos Command Line should be able to with this.

I tried the Run Command plugin and nothing is happening. I was able to add the plugin but when I imported a LIT file nothing happened. This plugin should run when I import a LIT file correctly? What did I do wrong??

I've been away for a while, but I am impressed! Thanks for doing this so fast Kovid!

Pardon the newbe question, but I have a Python script that will strip the DRM from a mobi file with the syntax:

name_of_script.py inputfile output_path\file PID

Can this script be used as an input filter plugin for Calibre?

If I could get this working I might see my way clear to get off some dinaro!

It can but helping you do this would be against forum policies
