The Editor Pop launch tool

meghane_e · Yesterday, 11:23 PM

(Sorry my nomenclature is off for this question.)

When I used to select a book (say 4 months or so ago), and used the 't' keyboard short cut to launch the Editor, it would bring a popup that let me select AZW or EPUB if both formats existed. In the last 3 or so revisions, that's gone away.

Is there a way to re-enable that functionality?
Thanks!

Hello, thank you so much for responding!

I tried resetting all disabled confirmation dialogs, went to a book that has both AZW3 and EPUB files, hit the 't'. It still automatically started the EPUB Editor and did not ask for which format to work on. While I can right-click on the AZW3 and select to edit it that way, I have 12,000+ books that I would rather not have to right-click for every AZW3 I want to work on, if you know what I mean...

I restarted Calibre just to check. Redid the above steps. Same result.
Any other thoughts?

(this was not a 'confirmation' which was why a reset did not help)

Start the editor: Edit: Preferences: Integration with Calibre: <adjust the order>

If ↑ ↑ ↑ doesn't work.

If you right click on an editable format (EPUB, AZW3, KEPUB (I think)) in Book details you'll get an Edit book option.

OR

With calibre (library manager, book editor, and book viewer) not running, go to the calibre configuration folder and open the tweak_book_gui.json file in a text editor and change the line that reads :

Code:

"choose_tweak_fmt": false,

to

Code:

"choose_tweak_fmt": true,

Save and close the file and you should be good to go.
