[GUI Plugin] Calibre Config Reports

[BetterRed]

The issue with the CCR shortcut is that after the install it reports as Blank in CCR and in Preferences->Advanced->Shortcuts - IMO it should be reporting None.

If I set it to None in Custom, it reports as None, of I set to something (e.g. Alt+F2) it's fine, reports as such and it works…

The Count Pages and Modify EPUB plugins don't have default shortcuts and they report as None when they're installed, viz:



I installed Count Pages and Modify Epub together, i.e. no restart after CP, History only shows the installation of Modify Epub.



Whilst perusing the shortcuts list I was reminded of two default shortcuts that clash with long standing Windows shortcuts

Alt+Esc - Clear the additional restriction. Windows uses it to switch between windows in the order that they were first opened… and it takes precedence.

Ctrl+Esc - Clear the Virtual Library. Windows uses it to pop the Start Menu, and again it takes precedence.

IIRC those key sequences were also significant on various Unixy OSs.

What do I need to enter to get all used shortcuts?
"NOT none" is not working.

I will need some time to release 1.0.4 version.

I plan to implement, wherever suitable, the same regex search feature that I've built into the Template Catalog plugin.

Performance will be better as well and I will take a look at all your inputs to see if in the next version I can address all of them.

Thanks for your feedback, Katja!

Hi, Comfy.n.

In the Plugins tab, some of the icons are being replaced with a generic one: Access Aid, Ace, DeDrm, EpubCheck, KFX Input, KFX Output and Skoob Books.

Some of those are themed, others aren't.

Noted, thanks @thiago.eec

edit to add: the calibre plugins use various methods to set the icon. IIRC, I have to read their path from the files in the zip...(sometimes their path is set on init py, other times it's in files like main.py) I chose to add special cases to hardcode their path, as with Author Book Count, Diaps Editing etc. (I just saw that Overdrive Libby will also be one of those cases)

I might be wrong, but I think you need to look for 'qaction.setIcon' (wherever that might be).
EDIT: There are other ways.

Of course some of those don't have an icon: DeDrm, KFX Input, KFX Output and Skoob Books. Those are are not GUI or Editor plugins.

The message is gone (thanks), but the reset settings routine is still being run every time. Looks like you are comparing a list [1.0.3] vs a tuple (1.0.3) which means that the customisations/settings are being reset every time rather than only when a new version is detected.
