Plugin: back up and restore Calibre base configuration via one file
Edit timeout too fast.
The backup file should be a well-supported directory archive type like a .zip, .tar, .tgz or .txz, and include the plugins and their base configuration. It may be worth proving an option to doing a subset from a library too or instead, say library specific plugin configuration, and templates, columns etc. i.e no book meta-data. |

It doesn't do the second, and I have no intention of adding that. Do note, however, that library specific configuration data is backed up by calibre in the file metadata_db_prefs_backup.json. This file is used by calibre's library restore function. |

TOCMarker plugin
Hello,
I mainly use PDF documents in Calibre. I need a plugin that checks a PDF document and marks, in a separate column, whether the document contains a TOC or not. I have a script that detects the presence of a TOC in a PDF document, but I don't know how to turn it into a plugin. I'm not a programmer, and I created this script using AI. Can anyone me create a plugin from it? Thank you! |

Now I understand the work involved in maintaining a plugin, especially if the page changes domain and apparently its structure.
I tried editing the plugin and naively changing the page address, but to no avail. |

Too many projects right now to get to it, but here's my thoughts... Calibre has an internal pdf library that it should be easy to leverage to do this. Not all pdf files with a TOC actually have a TOC. Far more than I like have a "TOC" with a single entry in them, so knowing if it has a TOC is not enough, you need to check if it has more than some threshold number of entries. (Which is still trivial, but...) |

Just a quick note to this and interested to find if it is common on the Kindle. Just very recently, I now find that the Kindle does not have the option to mark books on the device as "Read"

Library of Congress Digital Collection Store Plug-in
This is my very first post here but I'm motivated. Hoping I found the right spot.
Ive found some historical gems from the Library of Congress Digital Collections (https://www.loc.gov/collections/ - scroll down and choose Digital on the left) and they offer free downloads. How does one make a Store so it gets searched by Calibre when you choose "Get Books"? I dont know how to code but I copy effectively in Notepad and can insert a URL with the best of them. Thank you. |

Each "store" requires a plugin, there's a bunch included in the base, and there are some optional Store plugins, see ==>> Index of plugins

Get Metadata from an AI Source (Shown on Reddit)
Found this post on reddit, and it seems like someone has managed to create a plugin that passes an argument to an AI source to get very fast metadata information for books.
Someone please check out this post and see if it can be made into a proper plugin? https://www.reddit.com/r/Calibre/com...mment/mwt76c6/ |
