[GUI Plugin] Job Spy

For me it's a Tab.

If you specify the separator used at the start of the datastream Excel will use it.

When calibre is starting and when it's terminating I'm seeing the that the Job Spy.json file is being rewritten (deleted and created) - irrespective of how little or how much I do.

Curious as to why - e.g. it is triggered by a specific JS setting.

Job Spy will deactivate certain features if it detects a 'dirty' shutdown, so perhaps that?

The .json has a parameter, 'JOB_SPY_GRACEFUL_SHUTDOWN_LAST_TIME', that is set to True if Calibre, and hence JS, shuts down properly instead of just being terminated in some way. Upon startup, JS checks for True, but if False, it does not automatically start up a couple of Tools (Tag Browser Icons Tool & Drop-Down List 100 Items Tool daemon) to ensure that Calibre starts up properly, and that JS is not the reason for the termination. JS will never keep Calibre from starting up.

So, JS saves True upon normal shutdown, and at the end of startup saves a False.

If I had bothered to look at what changed I would have seen that for myself.

Sometimes when I'm trying to replicate bugs that cause Calibre to shut down, Job Spy helps me identify whether it was actually a crash. (See this for an example.)

Hi.

I'm try to move al the books in a #colection to a #2nd_collection.
Is it posible to use this function of your plugin using in the destination no fixed values instead of the name of the future column?

For example i'd like to move

#colection, value=* -> colection2nd updated by #colection
#colection_index, value=* -> colection2nd_index replaced by #colection_index

As you could see i dont want fixed values, i would like the values of the othe column.



Thanks

See the attached images. Note the highlighted ToolTips. Read the ToolTips in the image and in the JS Tool.

Simply use the Calibre Catalog function to export Calibre standard column ID and whatever custom columns you need. Then, run the tool from the JS Menu.

Match on ID, since it is the unique Calibre book ID.


The Calibre Catalog exported CSV file is UTF-8 encoded and uses double-quoted delimiters. Those are required for this JS Tool. So, if you edit the CSV in Calc/Excel, you must save-as using those specified options.

Hi,

Just updated calibre to vs 6.8 - now I don't have the jobspy attitudes anymore: GUI colors - apply selected colors - save all setiings - ok

After restart I get the colors scheme of "traditional" calibre: rows in 2 colors - black and grey

Yep. Calibre at Startup is showing an "ApplicationPaletteChange" after JS has been initialized, overwriting its colors.

I will look into this.

Version 1.0.193 -2022-08-04 Main GUI Library View Colors Tool changed to support widget name changes. Minimum Version now Calibre 6.8

This necessarily removed for now coloring the Status Bar and Search Bar et al.

To make sure that I understand it right:

No possibility yet to use calibre vs 6.8 and latest vs JS?
Do we foresee an update of JS?

I went back to an older vs of calibre in the meantime

You misunderstand. Upgrade again to 6.8 and JS will show as having an upgrade. You downgraded so you no longer qualify for the latest JS. Minimum version is now 6.8 for the latest JS posted today.
