Template Request: Has Conversion Settings

[BetterRed]

AFAIK there is no easy way to know if specific conversion settings have been applied to a book. The Conversion dialogue has a Restore Defaults button, but it's enabled irrespective of whether book specific conversion settings actually exist.

So I'm requesting a template function similar to has_cover that can be used to define a virtual column, set a column colour/icon etc.

Here is a python template that answers your question, at least for my tests. If you make a stored template with this code you can call it in a "normal" template like a function, as in 'has_opts = stored_template()'.
EDIT:

python:
def evaluate(book, context):
	ans = context.db.new_api.has_conversion_options((book.id,))
	return 'Yes' if ans else ''

EDIT: It returns "Yes" if the book has settings, '' otherwise.

The underlying function has a parameter for the format that as far as I can tell isn't used.

If you prefer a custom template function instead of a stored template, this does the job. Use Preferences / Template functions / the Template Functions tab.



The function code:

def evaluate(self, formatter, kwargs, mi, locals,):
	from calibre.gui2.ui import get_gui
	db = get_gui().library_view.model().db
	ans = db.new_api.has_conversion_options((mi.id,))
	return 'Yes' if ans else ''

Thanks chaley - I'm lizard until the weekend, I'll probably go the custom template route.
