SortCSS status?

roger64 · 08-23-2016, 03:58 AM

Hi

About SortCSS.zip

Following an advice from Terisa de Morgan, I installed the SortCSS.zip plugin from David Forrester and tried to make it work to sort a stylesheet made from two merged stylesheets (I hope it's clear).

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...8&postcount=68

The plugin was installed directly from the zip file. It was reported as installed among the book editing tools (alongside Diaps Editing toolbag). However I could not make its icon appear, I got only its name on the extension menu.

When I opened the EPUB and launched the plugin with the menu (no toolbar), I got the following mistake:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre_plugins.sortcss.main", line 83, in sort_stylesheets
File "calibre_plugins.sortcss.main", line 117, in sort_stylesheet
File "calibre_plugins.sortcss.main", line 117, in <lambda>
AttributeError: 'CSSFontFaceRule' object has no attribute 'selectorText'

question: what's the status of this plugin, Is it still reputed working?

@roger64, as I have it working (I don't know if there was a further development and it was an experience), I attach you my zip file, so you can install it (I think I remember this problem)

@Terisa

It's working: the stylesheet was correctly sorted after selecting the menu entry. It made appear a screen comparing the changes that it could perform.

I still do not see any icon to trigger it nor do I see one in the Preferences. But the most important is that it works.

I'll check this evening from home, because I think davidfor gave me some instructions because I had the same problem... and they are at the same thread. I'll be back to you with instructions or apologies...

Terisa de morgan · 08-23-2016, 08:33 AM

I've been able to check soon. I had the same problem and the answer was:

Quote:

To fix it, I think you need to edit the file "tweak_book_gui.json" that is in you calibre preferences directory. Look for the "global_plugins_toolbar" and remove that section and save the file.

BTW, have you configured the tool bar at the editor window?

JSWolf · 08-23-2016, 09:43 AM

Be careful sorting your CSS. CSS is read top down and some CSS needs to be after other CSS in order to work properly.

@JSWolf

Thanks for the advice. I'll check to see if everything is in order.

@Terisa

I have two such files which seem to be equally useful...

Code:

[roger@anterg ~]$ locate tweak_book_gui.json
/home/roger/.config/calibre/tweak_book_gui.json
/home/roger/.config/calibre/calibre/tweak_book_gui.json

However only the first one contains

Code:

"global_plugins_toolbar": [
    "Diaps Editing ToolbagSpanDivEdittoolbar", 
    "Diaps Editing ToolbagCSScm2emtoolbar", 
    "Diaps Editing ToolbagSmarterPuncttoolbar", 
    "Sort CSSSortCSStoolbar"
  ],

I'll make some tries, with and without it.

Wow, I've completely forgotten about this. It's still on the toolbar in the editor, but I haven't used it for ages. Anyone else out there still using this?

Terisa, thanks for the fix. Looks like I had it as well, but hadn't released it. I had also started to look at a more intelligent sort, so I might have fixed it while doing that. I don't have any notes on what I was doing, so I'm not exactly sure what I was doing. But, is looks like I was also grouping the types of styles and sorting within them.

@davidfor

This is quite useful for the few people who use two stylesheet. Thanks for it.

Up to now, I just fail to display the icon on the toolbar, even after Terisa's remarks. But I can launch it twith the menu entry.

To take into account JSWolf's remarks, maybe the elements beginning with a @ should be sorted to appear at the top (like @page, @font-face) while the selectors beginning only with a point should be somewhat trailing at the end.

Editing the file you found and then adding it to the toolbar using the preferences in the editor should work.

That appears to be one of the things I was trying to do with my changes. I'll have to have another look at it.

Me, I've remembered because of that

I tried it but , for some reason, I failed to see the icon to push it on the right like the three icons of the "Diaps Editing Toolbag".
