[GUI Plugin] Calibre Config Reports

[Comfy.n]

yeah I missed the *Calibre's* version bit and was fully aware of that omission.

typing economy can surely lead to incomplete expressions!

I'm not planning to release the new version right now so users can breath the "no updates needed" fresh air for a while.

edit: I meant 'provide compatibility for 5.44 min calibre version'

MR PI threads are already linked on Preferences: Get Plugins for the selected PI (link to homepage in lower right)

[Comfy.n]

yep, but I think the new button still makes for a convenient addition.

I often duplicate toolbar items across Calibre UI locations (e.g. sort by)

I know that, but I was in CCR…

I'd say 5.44 version of calibre.

[BetterRed]

First time I can recall seeing a plugin/addon developer tweak their code to be compatible with an earlier version of the base product - version 2.n of CCR had a minimum calibre version of 6.25.

Except he forgot to change the Compatibility section of the first post in this thread

@Comfy.n - Could you remove the extra text that is written at the top of the Shortcuts CSV in version 3, or make it optional. I have to edit the CSV in a spreadsheet to make the file useful in Nirsoft's "CSV FileViewer" :grrrh:



And could you add a "Don't show again" checkbox to this popup (or get rid if it).

Sure, I think I will make it optional.

Cool, I don't like those confirmations either. Might just get rid of it.

I'm working to release a new plugin, but as soon as I get it to work stably I will get back to CCR.

@BR - I've uploaded a new test version to post #2.

CSV exports from now on will not append any headers.
You'll notice I tweaked the system information to display the full Windows version including UBR (err... not you BR. Update Build Revision, that is)

Spoiler:

Thanks, but please explain why this:



Same in 3.0.1

Not sure if its just those CCR shortcuts, I've restarted CCR and calibre.

Hi @BR, I am working on a couple of new features and updates for the upcoming calibre 9 release.

Will soon provide a test version.

If you can test my other recent plugin releases, I'd appreciate it:

How about a bug fix release before calibre 9 fear-tures.

Won't be more than a cursory look.

What I know about OFP files would fit on the back of a penny black stamp. I strip all that I can with ModifyEPUB, and then use Sigil's Metadata Editor to remove the non-essential DC elements… description, subjects etc.

And I use Feedly for RSS, that's not going to change.

I'm going to post a test version shortly

[Comfy.n]

Off the top of my head, these are the changes:

- add enable/disable actions on Plugins tab; this is in preparation for calibre 9
- add configure selected plugin action
- add is_disabled operator to advanced search
- add is_configurable column and operator to advanced search
- keep only the plugin preferences icon-only action (button on main dialog footer)
- make the plugin preferences button, by default, display user installed plugins and expand the plugin tree
- I made the shortcuts update correctly (not display None, as your screenshot depicted). Edit: not entirely fixed. Working on it. Edit2: now it looks fixed.
- Moved tab shortcuts to be beside Plugins tab, and tab Actions to be beside Shorcuts tab.

I bumped the version intentionally, to make it easier to distinguish CCR test version.

CCR 3.0.3 removed the only CCR shortcut I did use - the one that opened it, which was named (by you) so that it appeared at the top of the CCR shortcut list… now it's parked in the middle.

CCR 3.0.3 not only uses some of my existing custom shortcuts — e.g. Alt+C for Count Pages, Alt+M for Modify EPUB, it also uses baseline calibre shortcuts — e.g. Alt+A for Books by same Author!

I suggest you remove the setting of defaults for all CCR shortcuts from the install, set them all to None, and leave setting them to the people who want them. Other than the one to show the CCR window I've set them all to None.

There is a mistaken belief among people who don't use shortcuts extensively, that people who do, have a shortcut for everything under the sun. Most don't, they use shortcuts for the actions they use a lot, and they set shortcuts to actions they rarely use to None… lest we press them inadvertently.

Calibre 8.16.2 sets 73 default shortcuts, I've retained 7 of them, the rest I've customised, in many cases to None.
