[Editor Plugin] Editor Chains

[JSWolf]

@natruok, none of your images show You need to ask in the feedback forum for access to attach images so we can see them. It's that or you post 10 posts and then you attach your images.

Also, NEVER use imgr. It doesn't work in the UK and any other country where there is an age restriction. PLus, a lot of the time it just doesn't work.

I've added the module by doing the following:
- Action Chains > Manage Modules > Create > Replaced the entire box with the code provided — I can see the line for the new module saved under Manage Modules
- Restarted calibre

And based on your instructions as well as instructions from other replies in this thread, it seems that I should expect to see "User Actions" under the Action Chains drop down.

In my list though, I only see the following:




Is there perhaps a step I've missed, or a version that isn't compatible?

Versions:
Calibre: 9.14
Action Chains: 1.20.10
Editor Chains: 1.1.9

Thank you!

Looks like you are mixing two plugins: Action Chains / Editor Chains.

Action Chains works in the main calibre interface. Forget about that one for now.

You need to follow the instructions inside the Editor (where you edit/tweak book's content). Once you are in the Editor (no matter what book), follow my instructions and 'User Actions' will be available.

After creating the chain and testing it inside the Editor, now you can also use it from Action Chains, in case you want to add files to multiple books, maybe as part of a more complex chain.

Hi! Thank you both for the comments, and apologies about the images — I'll definitely keep that in mind for future and will request access.

I've managed to get it work now though!

This solved it — I had been only accessing Editor Chains through the Action Chains plugin this whole time, didn't even realize that the plugin could be accessed directly through the epub editor ... oops. Learn something new everyday.

Thank you so much again, really super appreciate all the help!!!

Hi capink,

I think I found a small bug in Editor Chains (1.1.9). If I filter using the search box, then select a chain and export, the zip has the wrong chain. It seems to be whichever one is in the same position in the unfiltered list. Action Chains doesn't have this issue.

I've also got a small request for both Action & Editor Chains. When exporting a single chain, could the filename default to the chain name?

Thank you for both plugins, by the way! I can't even imagine trying to function in Calibre without them.
