[GUI Plugin] Count Pages

[fmk007]

@kiwidude:
Thank you very much for fixing the problem on ancient installations!
With version 1.15.2 it works perfect again on my Win7/Calibre4.23 installation.

I can't get this to work. I try to click the button and it says I have to choose a column, but the only options it gives me aren't the columns I would want to use. Help?

You probably need to add some custom columns, see ==>> https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr...custom-columns

And then configure the plugin to use those custom columns.

I am no longer getting page counts after linking to Goodreads. Count Pages worked yesterday, but doesn't today. The log is below:

Yup, same here. I opened a bug on GitHub.

Don't bother to report linking to Goodreads not working as a bug. It no longer works because of Goodreads tightened security. It's dead Jim!
