I found a bug in 1.41. For some reason it found the same name multiple times and showed them in front of the | in the aliases file twice. If you then continue, it crashes.
Like this: Bob the Builder|Bob Frop| Bob the Builder| Not sure it was due to this, or to this situation: Bob the Builder|Bob Bob|Bob the Builder I quickly fixed it with a bit of Python: input = <string with duplicates> split_input = input.split("\n") print "\n".join(sorted(set(split_input))) Maybe you can do something similar inside the application? <furthermore I had a PEBKAC error, I didn't put the generated file in the SDR folder. The output works fine if I put it there> Last edited by Nvidiot; 12-03-2014 at 04:58 PM. Reason: PEBKAC |

It won't join the aliases/terms together, but it will output a message and in theory not crash from it. If Shelfari contains duplicates, they should probably be deleted/merged on the site before building. |

I find that the Shelfari entries for the books I'm working on are always garbage and need fixing anyway. Duplicates, spelling errors, horrible information, etc. |

A new version (1.43) has been uploaded, which should fix the issue with the new format files not working on the PW2 and Voyage. I also added a converter which loads an old format file and converts it to the new format.

Thanks a lot Ephemerality for this excellent program.
For the first time, I was able to see XRay working (on 2 books). P.S: the first time I launched XRay, I had an error, but after a retry it was OK. |

@Ephemerality
1.43 still has issue with ASIN containing blank(s) or period: It gets truncated at these characters as well as names of *.aliases and *.asc files. My file name ( ASIN is equal to file name) have one of these templates: N - title.azw3 or N. title.azw3 where N is number in series and title may have white spaces.

Yes, this is resolved, thanks!
However, I see other issues on on PW2 (5.6.1), new X-Ray format. First: I'm processing book written by Canadian author about events in Quebec suburb. Book contains multiple French names containing French accents. All those accents are displayed as garbled in X-Ray window, replaced by wrong symbols. Some of names are listed as "location not found" I guess due to the same issue. Second: List of character descriptions from Shelfari page looks very funny because entire column of descriptions is shifted down one position so that one person is described as a dog, and other persons characteristics are all messed up due to this shift. Shelfari list looks quite in perfect order. |

Odd that the descriptions are shifted, I must have counted the IDs wrong somewhere. The only device I have to test on is my Android phone, so it's been kind of a pain testing the new format. I'll have a look at it and upload a new version. I got a laugh out of the person being described as a dog though :P |

Hey,
I am new to this forum, but I like your app. Unfortunately, it does not work for me. I get a similar (or same?) error message as pakiyabhai. I used the 1.4.6 GUI version with A song of ice and fire - game of thrones". Hence it does not generate the xray file. As soon I manage to do that I will try on a Kindle Voyage. |

Experimented with A Game of Thrones (version 1.46). It works...but fails to find mentions of a good half of characters. Just one example: Khal Drogo. Search finds 124 entries, X-Ray builder finds none. Sure, search identifies cases when "khal" and "Drogo" are separated by a few words (but are within the same location), finds "Drogo's" but still the difference between 100+ and None is striking.

I thought I had finally got this working when the XRay button started showing up in the books I'd processed in your tool, but nope, it's always greyed out?
