Excellent info. This kind of good info is what chaley asked you for in a earlier post. Maybe it can be fixed, maybe not, but now we have a good example.

Thanks for the reply.

The implementation and rules come from elsewhere. See
http://daringfireball.net/2008/08/title_case_update and http://muffinresearch.co.uk/archives...ase-in-python/.

Whether or not you think the example above is a quirk depends on your point of view. Clearly the author of the code did not, as the behavior is by design. The author says:
---
The script assumes that words with capitalized letters other than the first character are already correctly capitalized. This means it will leave a word like “iTunes” alone, rather than mangling it into “ITunes” or, worse, “Itunes”.
---

The above notwithstanding, there is no way that this code (or any other code) will always get it right, because 'right' is in the eye of the beholder.

Giving "Sharpe'S Tiger" a second look the OP was talking about going from All Caps to Title case. If you change the example to all caps "SHARPE'S TIGER" then go to title case, all is as expected. So the example pool of where it "fails" going from All Caps to title case is very much smaller then originally thought.

Plus if I don't like "Sharpe'S Tiger" I can right click and change case to all caps then revert back to title case and it is resolved.

Thanks for the clarification chaley.

Just do it in 2 passes.
Change to all Lower case
Now change to Title case.

You are obviously correct.

As I previously stated in the text you quoted above two passes will work just fine.

I have PRS-505 for about a year. Recently i've upgraded calibre to the 0.7.34 and now every time I connect my android phone (to recharge it from PC), calibre is trying to upload books and news to my phone.

Is there any idea how to disable this behaviour and specify only PRS-505 as a book reader?

Thanks!

itimpi · 12-21-2010, 12:37 PM

You can disable the Android device driver under Preferences->Advanced->PluginsDevice Interfgace Plugins.

Gordks · 12-22-2010, 03:03 PM

Update:

This has been resolved by 0.7.34. See post #565. Many thanks to whomever did it!

That sounds suspiciously like 'You don't have a snowballs chance, but go ahead.... open a ticket anyway'.

I have just tried a programmable mouse (Logitech M510) and set the side buttons to page up and page down. I have also tried setting the scroll wheel increment to full page. Neither make any difference in LRF Viewer although they work fine for anything else on the system (Windows 7). The Viewer stubbornly ignores the mouse buttons and moves about one fifth of a page per scroll wheel increment. Tried rebooting. No difference. I have 0.7.34 installed but the previous version acted exactly the same.

I will open a ticket. The viewer is very well done and it would be even better if it would pay attention to system wide mouse settings.

Regards,
Gord

I think the issue will be that the problem resides not in the Calibre code, but somewhere in the Qt libraries that Calibre relies on for most of the UI interactions with the user.

I don't know if this was there prior to 0.7.34 or not, but I just found a checkbox at the bottom of the General page of Configure Ebook Viewer which says 'Mouse wheel flips pages'. It works just fine and I like this better than the side buttons anyway. I am completely satisfied with this! No ticket needed. I just hope this wasn't there all along. That would make me feel really stupid.

The side flipping pages ala iPad/iTouch/iPhone is certainly new with the latest update. I like! Crisp, clean.

Gord

I read both at work and home - and I now have two Calibre management systems to keep everything in order.

I know this may have been asked before, but: Can I sync my Kobo to two different Calibre libraries?
I'm not looking to pull books out of my Kobo, I want to put them in my Kobo.

That shouldn't be a problem, I believe.

Did something change in how often the mail server is pinged (and if so where is the setting?) in one of the last updates? Books seemed to be emailed to my free Kindle account every 5 minutes and no closer than that. I would think even 2.5 minutes wouldn't be seen as 'spam'?

itimpi · 12-22-2010, 04:15 PM

There was definitely a change recently around the frequency with which emails were sent by Calibre. You should check the Change Log if you want to know exactly when this happened.

copyrite · 12-22-2010, 04:17 PM

Is it configurable? I haven't found a setting to modify.
