I'll have a look at it. And looking at what is on the goodread site for this, it shows as:
Code:
03/18/2014 45.0% 03/18/2014 45.0% "Finished "Grave Peril"." 03/21/2014 46.0% "Started "Summer Knight"." Would appending a line something like this be the way to go? Quote:

Is there a way to massively link books to Goodreads so that they can be synced FROM Calibre TO GR?
I have more than 2k TBR books that I want to start cleaning out and I'll start by eliminating anything below 3.4-3.5 GR rating, but I can't sync most of those books 'cos it says that books can't be linked to GR, so I need a way to massively link them, though I'm suspecting that the problem is on faulty titles and authors, especially when it comes to PDFs.... any help would be greatly appreciated. FYI I've put the plugin to draw metadata from GR, so I had calibre downloading them, though I don't know how much help that would be because of the aforementioned faulty titles/authors |

@Teeny: Not really. I responded to your post in Goodreads plugin thread.

@kiwidude Is there a way when downloading metadata to download any reviews/ratings the people I follow have left?
I know there's an option for downloading comments but those go to a text file whereas I want the ones only the people I follow made and appear in a column in the main interface |

Firstly, kiwidude is not around much now. I have been doing maintenance and enhancements as needed.

@davidfor
The comments in the check list, after searching, meant to be anything on the dust jacket of a book so it isn't what I'm looking for. As for doing the function myself I'm afraid I have no idea how to go about it or even where to make it or implement it or even check it.... I had to google what API function is :/ |

And thinking about this, I don't like the idea of this in calibre. You would need to be checking all the books in your library all the time to update the comments from other people. Plus, I think the comments I would be really looking for are on books I didn't own. These wouldn't have a book in the calibre library to store comments against. You are probably better to use he web site for this sort of tracking. |

PS: when you configure the metadata there's an option of converting the downloaded comments to plain text, that was what I was referring to and because I didn't remember 100% how it was worded I messed it up |

hello... i'm sorry if this is duplicated but if it is, i can't find it.
When i "remove from shelf" in calibre, it removes it from the goodreads shelf but it doesn't remove the tag in my GR shelf column in calibre. What am I doing wrong? |

You are not doing anything wrong. When removing the book from the Goodread shelf, no changes are made in calibre. There are a set of actions that are taken when you add a book to a shelf, but there are no actions when removing a book.

Just a little request
First, I love this plug-in! Finally, after some time of having issues, I have gotten it back on and am reloading my books.
I have a quibble or two, change it, or leave it. No big deal, but I wanted to let you know as a user what I think. The most aggravating but trivial problem I face is that the drop-down menu has the "View Shelf" right in the middle. This means that if I am going to the sync, or link choices, I always end up hitting or running over that "view shelf" which ends up showing me every one of my shelves. Not a huge deal, but I have to hit escape, and then attempt to go again each time it happens. I know it seems like a bitch over nothing, but if I am going to the sync to upload tags as shelves on a number of books, it gets tedious having to continually hit escape and try again. Long preface to....can you change the "view shelf" to be somewhere less likely to be accidentally activated---above the customize or below the add or remove from shelf? Also, a suggestion... It often takes a long time to coordinate the shelves, tags add/sync actions. Do you know if there is a way to customize the plug in to set up a preset add/default sync instructions that can be applied to all the selected shelves? This would save so much time if I change the shelves or have new shelves. Right now I haven't gotten around to doing anything more than just naming the tags. If I have to individually input each instruction for add and sync it takes forever---which is a drag when each shelf basically has the same instructions. If there are a total of 4 different combinations I use with the same information only with the tag being different. For a preset the term "tag" could take the place of having to input each tag name, but will still allow customizing. All the other add/sync rules apply, but are just pre-loaded. As long as each preset fulfills the rules and the only thing that is not individually defined is the name of the tag...a block of rules could make up a pre-set named "general add" Add "tag" to custom column "current calibre bookshelves" add "tag" to custom column "genre" Add "Y" to custom column "In GR" add "Goodreads Date Added" to column "GR Date Added" When the user goes through the list of shelves all they need to do is add the tag, and then when they go to the rules drop down for sync/add they can select a preset they have already created and named. Too much to ask? If it is, then no worries, but it was just an idea that I would really like to see. Would definitely be worth donating for. Regardless, can you please, please fix the drop down to keep from accidentally hitting the view shelf? Thanks! Last edited by Rellwood; 08-29-2016 at 04:16 PM. Reason: Clarification |
