Thank you.

Thanks for reporting. The issue has been resolved with release 1.0.0.

[m1d1]

released version 1.0.0

fixes QT5 depreciations in calibre 4.x

[m1d1]

released version 1.0.1

fixes version string

[m1d1]

released version 1.0.2

fixes bug with version string.

Note.: It seems like you'd need to reinstall prettify cover 1.x
Due to a prior version string bug with prettify cover 0.9.x it won't get update notifications in calibre

Hi - I just updated to 1.05 and I am getting errors which I did not get in the previous version I used last night! I have Win10 64-version

Thanks for reporting. I'll look into it for a fix.

There is a rather major bug in 1.5.0 that needs fixing. Please see the following thread to see what it is that is going on.

In that case v0.9.12 was used which isn't compatible with calibre 5.

I'd like to modify this plugin to have a better ability to fine tune how the ↑ and ↓ buttons work within the Cut-Out option. Right now they jump too far to be really useful for about 90% of the covers in my library. Would you be able to point me to where in the python files I'd go to change the value that they move when you click that button? I've been poring through them but haven't found where that variable's set yet.

I tried using this plugin, but hit an annoying TypeError. It would seem that in both line 347 and 423 in the "action.py" file, the "x" and "y" variables can be floats (or maybe they just are by default?)... Anyway, here's the stack trace:

  QRect(QPoint, QSize): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'
  QRect(QRect): argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'

I decided to try tinkering with it, and simply wrapped the "x" and the "y" parameter in "int()", so line 347 for example changes from:

target_rect = QRect(x, y, new_width, new_height)

to:

target_rect = QRect(int(x), int(y), new_width, new_height)

This seems to have resolved my issue, and everything just works now.

This would of course be nice if it was properly resolved directly (and correctly) in the plugin, but for now I have been able to hack-fix it with the typecast.
