I actually thought something like that might've happened. If you don't enclose the application path, you get something like "C:\Program is not recognized blah blah blah."

This time I did get an error in Ransack, which seems to indicate that AC tried to send the paths before the argument (the intended command-line is posted in #192 for reference). Not sure if that's another Linux difference.*

Code:

2020.12.26 14:56:07:786 Unexpected command line parameter: D:\Documents\My Books\Jenny Oldfield\Starlight (5627)

New debug:

Code:

* I once managed to screw up and get a filename with a colon in Windows, which isn't ever supposed to happen. I couldn't do anything with it from within the Windows environment because the path was invalid. Eventually grabbed a Linux boot disk. That was able to rename it.

OK, I changed the way multiple selections work (not sure how this affects macos). I replaced the previous test version with another one (in the same post).

If this one does not work, or breaks the functionality for other platforms, I will remove the multiple selections and revert to a simpler one selection only. I need someone to confirm that this is working on macos at least for single selections.

Also, I need the debug output for your first problem with the action condition, that is more critical to deal with.

Colons in NTFS file names are legitimate. Firstly the one we all know and hate, after a device name e.g. "D:".

They are also used to delimit Alternate Data Stream names. Notepad knows about them - create a file (e.g.my.file), and then run the command: "notepad my.file:note".

This time, I got the "unexpected command line parameter" for both books.

Ransack's error log:

That's strange because I have not changed anything in the conditions code except for more debug statements. Are you sure it wasn't working yersterday?

The conditional seems to be working now. Here's some debug info if you want to see it anyways.

Could've been gremlins. I have a particular talent for somehow generating one-off glitches in software.

I noticed the use of single quotes in the debug log. Not sure if that's being passed along, but Windows uses double-quotes for paths.

There's a space before the semicolon that's causing it to fail. It works if I remove the space. I wonder how it got in there.

capink · 12-26-2020, 06:54 PM

Check the settings box and make sure it has no extra space.

ownedbycats · 12-26-2020, 06:58 PM

There was a space in there. I removed it and it worked!

Thank you!

Hi

I have been playing with the plugin recently and have been trying to set up a chain that "clicks on" certain icons in Calibre Editor.

I have not yet found a way of doing this. Am I missing something or is it not possible without writing a load of code?

I replaced the previous test version with another one (in the same post). If this one does not work, or breaks the functionality for other platforms, I will remove the multiple selections and revert to a simpler one selection only. I need someone to confirm that this is working on macos at least for single selections. Also, I need the debug output for your first problem with the action condition, that is more critical to deal with.
