I suggest you look at other recipes to see how indenting works.

Post your efforts here. I'll help, and if I'm not here, someone else will. Put your recipe in code tags (press the pound # above)

Hi - I posted this in an Amazon forum and it was suggested I post my note here. I have a recipe which I use to download a daily paper (code for the main options shown below). I've been told that version 6.46 will archive older issues as new ones are delivered, whether or not they are emailed to the device or transferred via USB cable. I am not finding that to be the case. It will archive the issues if I email them to my Kindle, but if I transfer via the cable, the current issue just overlays yesterday's, and nothing goes to the archive. What am I doing wrong? This is the same whether I run the 6.46 Calibre on my XP machine or the Windows 7 machine.

For interface options I have 'download news automatically to device' checked, and I have unchecked the 'delete news from library' checkbox.

import string, re

class Gazette(BasicNewsRecipe):
title = 'The Gazette'
oldest_article = 2
timefmt = ''
max_articles_per_feed = 100
no_stylesheets = False
use_embedded_content = False
encoding = 'cp1252'
publication_type = 'newspaper'
remove_empty_feeds = True
extra_css = ' body{font-family: Verdana,sans-serif} .headline{font-size: xx-large; font-weight: bold} .mainPhotoCaption{font-size: x-small} '

Remove

timefmt = ''

yes, that will give the thing a unique name (adding [date] to the issue name), but how will that help archive issues? Won't that just continue to add a bunch of unique issue names to my main items list without archiving anything?

The creator of this program gave you a solution to your problem based on the code in the program that handles this yet you hesitate to try it???

Update: Check out this post.

GRiker should be able to answer more specifics about this feature.

Dwanthny - I am not trying to be insulting - I have done this in the past and it does not solve the problem. I am just trying to explain that, and perhaps make the issue clearer than I had originally posted. I am certainly not trying to be disrespectful and am sorry if anyone took my response to be that.

I had spoken to GRiker previously about this issue and he was the one who suggested I post here. I had seen the update you mentioned, and that is what I am questioning - the result I am getting is not the same.

PaxtonReader: Please post the recipe.

GRiker - thank you for taking the time with this - not a major deal, but I'd like to understand what I'm doing wrong, if possible. Or perhaps it's something with my computer or Kindle? At any rate, if I have things set to email the document instead of doing it via cable, it archives as documented. Just when I do it by cable, it overlays the current issue. If I take out the timefmt property, it creates multiple issues on my home page (with different names, in that the date is appended), but does not send any of them to the archive

PaxtonReader:
Are you testing this by trying multiple downloads in a given day, one after another?

I believe that the Kindle will replace the active copy if today's date is the same, archiving only if the date portion of the timestamp is different. I would argue that this is actually the desired behavior. I'm not talking about the timefmt='' line in the recipe, I'm talking about today's actual date.

Please try running your recipe (as you posted it) today, then downloading it via USB. Then try running the recipe again tomorrow at the same time, downloading it via USB. Then check Periodicals:Back Issues on the Kindle and report back.
