@asdf asdf asdf - This is reminder to read the Guidelines

In particular the paragraph about image sizes in Guideline #9 - Avatars, Images and Signatures .

I misunderstood you when you complained about words being capitalized, I thought all letters are capitalized, not just the first letter.

You are right, adding new books does turn on the titlecase. This is the default behavior coded by kiwidude, most probably done to suit his own needs. It would be easy to change, but I don't want to alter behavior he has set himself, especially that it has been working this way for years with no one complaining.

One option, would be to tie the titlecase to the tidy option. Problem with this is that it would only work for the csv tab, other tabs will not follow the same behaviour.

Okay...

Here is a bug fix for the forced "Title Case" capitalization in case you don't live in a country where everything needs to be titlecased the American way:

Open the zip folder "IMPORT LIST.ZIP" of the addon in

"C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\calibre\plu gins"

Inside, open the file "page_resolve.py" and change line 599 to

book['!calibre_title'] = book['title']

Don't change the indentation! Just remove the "titlecase" part!

It's not a large issue, but is there anything that can be done about the appearance of dark mode? The contrast is so poor here I have difficulty reading it without magnifier.

[capink]

I have no idea how to deal with colors to make them suitable for dark mode. Maybe someone else can help with that.

There's some stuff here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...=325387&page=3

I'm not sure how applicable this is to everything else, but JimmXinu modified FFF several months ago to make the syntax highlighting more readable:
https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...highlighter.py

This looks to be the relevant part

        try:
            if QApplication.instance().is_dark_theme:
                colors = {
                    'knownentries':Qt.green,
                    'errors':Qt.red,
                    'allkeywords':Qt.magenta,
                    'knownkeywords':QColor(Qt.blue).lighter(150),
                    'knownsections':Qt.darkCyan,
                    'teststories':Qt.cyan,
                    'storyUrls':Qt.magenta,
                    'comments':Qt.yellow
                    }
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error("Failed to set dark theme highlight colors: %s"%e)

Before trying to look at how to handle colors in dark mode, I decided to run calibre in dark to see the problem myself, it seems to be fine with my calibre install. (screenshot attached)

Can anyone else running on Windows confirm having the same problems as @ownedbycats

[JimmXinu]

Quick drive by: If you implement such a check, be aware that earlier versions of Calibre don't have that. See: https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...lighter.py#L45

[capink]

Thanks for the hint. I am not sure I am going ahead with this. I cannot replicate @ownedbycats problems. Also, changing color palette works for the whole application, but when I try to restrict it to the plugin wizard, nothing happens.

I have been having issues where the wrong series name is getting set on the Left side (and it caries over to the right)
Fantastic Fiction is my fav site

Is there a place I can clear/refresh these. Uninstall and reinstall does not change the results

The predefined sites are hardcoded in the plugin. If there are changes, the plugin needs to be updated. But, you can edit them and save them in the user settings. And post the changes to be updated.

Thanks for the reply
I will have to look again... Harder .

Actually, this method might need to be changed to a separate config as there is an Edit button and if the user makes a custom change/add, wouldn't it get lost on a PI update?
I'm still a little confused on what I had done before :
The stock PI is not returning any series. (or Author)

This (attachment ) is my clumsy fix. PLEASE CHECK

No it would not. When you reach the third page of the wizard make sure to save the settings (as shown in attached screen). After that you can load the setting from the "User settings" tab in the first page of the wizard. The settings will not be lost even when the plugin is updated.

Seems to be working. Can add this to the plugin.
