Back to 7.45 - Page 2

ddjohn · 02-19-2011, 02:35 PM

So the epub issue in 0.7.46 has been pinned down. good work.

May I inquire as to why the plugin for cover download from LibraryThing has been deleted and replaced by Amazon? Do they need to be mutually exclusive, or can we add back the LibraryThing plugin? I'm just sentimental as I've been a member of LibraryThing for ages.

Because Library Thing is blocking calibre.

Changed to English and perfectly working!
Many thanks.

Is Calibre totally blocked now from Library Thing even if you're registered? If not, is there a way to add the plugin back in for those who want the option to use it still?

I have no desire to maintain that plugin. Given that LT randomly blocks calibre every 3-5 queries, it leads to hard to reproduce bug reports. And it makes it very difficult to debug and maintain the plugin

Ok, thanks for the response, and totally understandable.

so, is it concluded that 7.46 will work so long as I'm not spanish, or do we still await feedback on which OS installs fail or are bugged. I have win 7 64 bit, I have not updated yet because being able to work on epubs is a critical feature for me ?

I'm guessing yes, it is concluded, or isn't Kovid saying it's so in this thread enough?

cybmole · 02-20-2011, 03:04 AM

well if he's said that in this thread - yes. where did you find the other one ?

The other one? I linked to post 15 of this thread.

The difference in thread number that you might be seeing, Cybmole (between what is displayed in the browser URL bar while viewing these posts, and the URL you see in the status bar when you mouse over that link), is simply the difference between the "full" version and the mobile version of MobileRead. The link is, as Dwanthny says, to post #15 in this thread, where Kovid says:

OK - I get the URL thing

there seemed to be at least 2 bugs being reported in this thread so I wanted to check that the "spanish" explanation covered all

Is it a problem with the translated strings or with the program code? I ask because if it's with the strings, I could be more careful when translating

kovidgoyal · 02-20-2011, 12:11 PM

It was the strings in one place you had

<<%s%>> which was the translated version of "%s"

Note the extra % which caused the problem. The translations are run through an automatic checker before merging, but for some reason the check didn't catch this error.
