[Plugin] epubveri - Simple epubveri wrapper

Current Version: "0.0.6"

This plugin is a very simple epubveri wrapper that will automatically download the latest epubveri binary and check the current epub.

Preferences:

You can change the following epubveri.json preference settings:

  "usage": false,
  "advisory": false,
  "update_check": true,
  "check_interval": 7,

Change usage to true, to display USAGE message. Change advisory to true to display custom epubveri messages. Change update_check to false, if you want to manually update the epubveri binary file. check_interval is the number of days between update checks. (0 = always check for updates before running epubveri.)


Disclaimer:

Even though it's unlikely that the plugin will somehow corrupt the epub that you're working on or crash Sigil, you may want to save your ePub in Sigil before running this plugin and/or create a checkpoint.

Installation:

1. Select Manage Plugins from the Plugins menu, then select Use Bundled Python, if it isn't already selected.
2. Click Add Plugin and select epubveri_v0.0.6.zip. This will install the epuberi plugin, which you can select via Plugins > Validation > epuberi.

Added to Sigil Plugin Index. Thank you!

Thanks Doitsu! Does this mean you consider epubveri ready for production use? (The test plugin you sent me so super fast!)

I still consider this a beta version, since it doesn't have preference settings yet. But it shouldn't contain any major bugs.

And with the plugin, it's a lot easier to use it to check for errors and compare it's output with epubcheck.

I only use the CLI now when I want to post output from epubveri and epubcheck to help fixing errors.

Oh, I was referring to whether epubveri (program) was ready for production use, per our DMs, not whether your plugin was ready.

Anyway, I will start using it and compare with epubcheck. Thank you!

epubveri is getting very close to displaying the same number of errors and warnings as EPUBCheck. According to the official website:

• 100% of the test suite's "this is perfectly valid" cases are correctly left alone — no false alarms on any of the 355.

That's great! Maybe I will switch to epubveri Its speed is so tempting.

FYI: I've attached a new plugin version with preference settings. For example, you can now hide USAGE messages and select how often the plugin will check for updates.
