[Editor Plugin] epubveri

[Kayadelenium]

A question for everyone using this plugin, before I add something to it.

In the epubveri thread, JSWolf, DiapDealer and DNSB asked for a warning when an HTML file is larger than 260 KB uncompressed. That is the size calibre splits at, because some older reading systems cannot handle larger files. I have it ready as ADV-013: an advisory note, never an error, that never changes the verdict and only names the file and its size.

The catch is that this plugin shows advisory findings by default. So after the update, a book with a large chapter that is clean today would show one ADV-013 row in the results panel. calibre's own Check Book already reports these files as "File too large", so you may see it twice.

So which would you prefer?

1. Show it like the other advisory notes (on by default; the advisory switch in the plugin's settings turns it off, together with the other advisory notes).
2. Keep it off unless you switch it on yourself.
3. Leave it out of the editor plugin, since Check Book already covers it.

Nothing changes until I have heard from you.

I say to have it on by default.

On thing that would be good is to allow categorizing advisory notes. For example, if I have advisory notes on, I don't need to see that I have embedded fonts. I know this as I can see it in the editor. But I do want to know if my HTML files are too large.

I suggest having one set of advisory notes that state the obvious and one that doesn't. This way we can toggle each set as we want.

For the library plugin, we should have this advisory note available so we can fix eBooks with HTML that could be too large to work properly with a Reader.
