Does this offer more information than the existing Jobs dialog that pops up when you click 'Jobs'? From the description it sounds like a convenience button to the same info.
UPDATE: Trying it out and examining the code, that's exactly what it does: Pop open the existing Jobs Log(s) as if you'd opened the Jobs dialog and viewed them from there. Last edited by JimmXinu; 01-21-2016 at 02:02 PM. Reason: Found answer myself. |

@JimmXinu - you can put JobSpy in the context menu and assign kb shortcuts,
I put it in the context menu. For the mouse averse, Shift+Alt+J, then Alt+D (which doesn't always work for me) is an awkward key sequence, whereas menu key, then down/up arrows, can be done with one finger. BR |

Job Spy with "Enable Viacam"
For those with hand movement and other physical challenges, Job Spy used with the utility "Enable Viacam" http://www.fosshub.com/Enable-Viacam.html works very effectively. Just look at the Job Spy icon, and it will click automatically. The job details dialog will pop open, and by looking at the close button repeatedly the desired number of job details will be presented automatically. Obviously a webcam is required, since the Enable Viacam tracks your eyes and face via a camera.

Version 1.0.3 New Tearoff Menu Items - "Bonus GUI Tools"
See the attached image.
For users of my CALM add-on, Job Spy's new "Bonus GUI Tools" functionality is highly recommended. As you well know, the GUI can have a huge number of Custom Columns in the consolidated CALM Target Library. The new functionality allows you to quickly expand and compress the columns. The Job Spy ToolTips remind you that the superb 'View Manager' plug-in should be used to easily get back to your "normal" settings. The above also applies to the users of my QuarantineAndScrub add-on. DaltonST |

New Bonus GUI Tool: Virtual Library Helper - View VLs Sorted by VL Criteria
Version 1.0.8 - 2016-04-04 New Bonus GUI Tool: Virtual Library Helper - View VLs Sorted by VL Criteria
Also, you can copy and paste the VL Criteria into the Search Bar and change as needed. The dialog survives a Library Change, so you can easily create complex VLs in a new Library using existing ones in another Library via copy and paste. See the attached image. DaltonST |

New option to specify the 'interval' used by the 'Edit Metadata' Dropdown daemon
Version 1.0.16 -2016-04-16 New option to specify the 'interval' used by the 'Edit Metadata' Dropdown daemon.
This is the number of seconds that the daemon 'sleeps' before checking for a newly-created Edit Metadata dialog for which to increase the number of visible items to 100. The minimum is 5 seconds, and the maximum is 10 seconds. The default is 8 seconds. Whatever value was set when the daemon was 'started' is what it will use until it is 'stopped' and then 'started' again. The JS GUI Tools menu has the option to Start/Stop the daemon. If you have configured it to automatically start after Calibre starts, then you must manually stop it and restart it after you have changed the number of seconds to sleep. Or, wait until Calibre restarts as normal. Personally, I use 10 seconds because I don't immediately start clicking as soon as the Edit Metadata dialogs appear. The 'average' lag time is 10/2 = 5 seconds, although it can be almost 0 or a full 10 seconds. If you are a 'fast clicker', then 10 is not for you. The interval impacts how frequently the daemon consumes extra CPU to do what it does because it is 'awake' more often or less often. DaltonST |
