Keep blocking the GUI until all the jobs started by the action are finished.

I never used any of the plugins you cited, and have no experience with proceed_question. If anyone can provide the code to detect proceed_question dialog in the middle of the action in a robust way, I will add it to the plugin.

yeah, I wasn't sure if proceed_question() would be easily detectable.

My thought, maybe a bit kludgey for a plugin meant to automate things, was some sort of 'wait for user' action, which pauses the chain until the user confirms things are done (this need not necessarily be for the dialog; there's other instances where a pause may be helpful). The 'prompt for confirmation' dialog might've worked for this if it didn't block off the rest of the UI, lol.

Hello!

I have this problem: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=350600

So in short, I have two identifiers, grvotes and grrating, each in a "Column built from other columns" column which I want to move into "Floating point numbers" columns so that the goodreads rating and votes display as a value in calibre-web instead of as identifiers.

You don't need action chains to accomplish this. You can do with calibre's batch edit metadata by selecting all the books you want to edit > right click > edit metadata > edit metadata in bulk > copy the parameters in the screenshot below.

Note: In the screenshot below I move to a new column called #testint. Replace that with the name of the column you want.

Thank you, it works perfectly!

Update: Add "Convert Books" action.

This action gives the user the ability to configure the convert options as well as the input and output format. The input format can be specified in a comma separated list of formats in order of preference. You can also use calibre's template language to make the input/output format change per book as well.

You can download this beta from here

Hi capink! Just gave it a try and I'm getting this, upon clicking any of the options buttons:

OK, I uploaded a new beta.

I just tested it (azw3 -> epub on my 'send-to-device' chain) - works as expected.

capink · 12-04-2022, 02:04 PM

Did you alter any settings? (input/output/common)

Tested, working. I've seen some users requesting this not long ago, they'll surely be pleased.

I wonder if it's possible to make an action to toggle default internal viewer on the fly, I mean, to change this setting:

That's what the open with action is for.

In 'Common Options,' I set output profile to Kobo Reader.

I couldn't figure a way to apply the Open With action to cases like this:

Quote:

when doing FTS searches, my preferred viewer is not the system default (Sumatra). So I wanted to have Calibre default to open with internal viewer before doing FTS.

I apologise for quoting myself here

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...47&postcount=5

I think I just wanted a quick toggle for setting Calibre's as the current internal viewer for EPUB, for instance, before doing FTS searches. But there are a few more use cases I don't recall atm...

edit: a quick toggle for setting the internal viewer to open EPUB formats, for instance...

capink · 12-04-2022, 02:31 PM

There is a plugin called quick preferences. I have not used it, so I am not sure it fits what you want to do. Give it try and see if does what you want.

Anyway, if you are going to use Action Chains to toggle the setting, you might as well use it to open in whatever editor you want (by binding different editor chains to different keyboard shortcuts).
