Any way to make this work for when I only have a .kfx version of the book?

For the functions that are not epub or mobi specific, they should work with a kfx. For the epub & mobi specific functions, no.

Version 1.12.0 - 19 Jan 2022
Changes needed for calibre 6

Are you sure about that?
the files in the archive still seem to use Qt5 and not qt.core.

try:
    from PyQt5.Qt import QMenu, QToolButton, QUrl
except:
    from PyQt4.Qt import QMenu, QToolButton, QUrl

From the "Plugin devs: Upcoming migration to Qt 6" thread:

All I can say is that it seems to work on the betas. I changed the place where it broke.

Oh. Sorry.
I missed that line.

Quality Check_1_12_1.zipHi, I tried to add three new check mobi controls into Quality Check plug-in ver 1.12.0. Attached my modified version (1.12.1)

• Check MOBI7 type -> it controls if the ebook is an MOBI7 file type (in Calibre corresponds to converting to MOBI using the "OLD" value in the MOBI Output-> Mobi file type option)
• Check MOBI8 type -> it controls if the ebook is a MOBI8=KF8 file type (in Calibre corresponds to converting to MOBI using the "NEW" value in the MOBI Output-> Mobi file type option)
• Check MOBI7+MOBI8 type -> it controls if the ebook is an MOBI7+MOBI8 file type (in Calibre corresponds to converting to MOBI using the "BOTH" value in the MOBI Output-> Mobi file type option)

I used some python code that I have taken from KindleUnpack - The Plugin Calibre plugin. All my changes start with a #SS-add START comment and finish with #SS-add FINISH. I have modified these python files:

• __init__.py
• config.py
• check_mobi.py

I am not a good python programmer so I ask you to please test it and if you like, update or optimize the code as well

Please chjange the wording to for the Kindle eBooks.

Mobi7 = Mobi
Mobi8 = KF8
Mobi7 + Mobi8 = Dual-Mobi

That way you get the terminology correct. The only one that is correct is Mobi7 but it can also be called Mobi (correctly).

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. No problem. Attached the new version

Hi, attached a new plug-in version. I updated the help file with the new three MOBI checks (MOBI7, KF8 ad dual-MOBI)

Epub content check suggestion

1. Check to see if there are headers/footers in a book. My pdfs that have been converted to text often have page numbers and author footers.

2. Check to see if there is a line height in the style files above/below a set number.

Too many authors have been double spacing, along with spaces between paragraphs.

I can change the spacing through conversion, but there really isn't a way of checking outside of opening up the book if there is an unacceptable line height. Being able to do a quick search through the files using a plugin to point out the ones that need fixing would be a great time-saver. I know that there is a "maximum" line height available in the conversion settings, but that is dicy. Would rather see it before making that change.

It is already there (sorta).
I use it to search for books that have letter-spacing (trips up my Kobo KEPUB's)

[Rellwood]

I have to admit I never saw this. I have only used the editor for the metadata since I got used to it.

I will have to recheck it!

Now a question; what would I do for a search on line height: 1.40 and above?

I am not sure if that search all allows ranges .
For now: I would suggest just specifying the exact line with value.
It allowed my REGEX (\s\s) so why not spec a range
1\.[5-9]

Question: Aside from manually excluding the books from the specific checks, is it possible to have 'check duplicate series' ignore indexes of [0]? I use those for unordered series.
