Plugin to import text files

[CalibUser]

I have updated the plugin TextImporter in the first post of this thread to version 0.1.0.5.

The previous version of the plugin would allow only one text file to be imported each time you ran the plugin; this version will allow you to import several text files before the plugin closes. It also has a new facility for checking for updates and this allows you to set the time interval between checks for new versions.

I have also uploaded a user guide for the plugin.

It's a helpful plugin to me, it would be better If you can create an option that we can import multiple files in 1 time?

I have made a few changes to the plugin that includes the ability to import multiple text files from a single folder without having to import them individually.

When the file dialog opens, navigate to the folder containing your text files and CTRL-click on each file that you want to import and then click the OK button on the file dialog. All the selected files will be imported into Sigil when you click the plugin's Close button.

Alternatively you can use SHIFT click in the usual manner to select a group of text files for importing into your ePub.

Can this plugin work on Linux? I get this error when trying to run it:

NameError: name 'ttk' is not defined

Your python implementation is missing its Tkinter/ttk support.

I had to change this line in plugin.py:

import tkinter.ttk as tkinter_ttk

to

import tkinter.ttk as ttk

Now it works.

I'm on Windows 11 and had the same problem as isaacbh, the ttk error. I did the exact same change, and everything is great now. Thanks for posting your resolution. I would have never figured this one out on my own.

For some reason I did not get a notification about the error posted by isaacbh, although I did get the notification from toomuchreading.

I have now corrected the error in the first post of this thread in version 0.1.0.7 of this plugin.

Although the release was a while ago, I would like to thank you for the plug-in; it is very useful!

@Leonatus You are welcome. I'm glad you find the plugin useful
