And, @greatforum, I'm pretty sure that's not the CSS for it. There's also a possibility it could be in one of the non-zlib streams too. I'll look into this when I get back to the Qt resource stuff after I finish with what I'm currently working on for NickelMenu (which is almost feature-complete now). |

Is it possible to patch it so bringing up the dictionary automatically brings up the expanded view? This isn’t changing the size which I understand is locked down now, it’d be essentially triggering the request to go fullscreen from the initial call to bring the dictionary up.

I would point out that there'd be a downside. The ability to long-press a word in the dictionary pop-up definition to lookup a second word would be lost. |

Yeah, I definitely used the wrong file as input to cssextract-windows.exe. Which file should I use as the input? |

I am quite sure a lot of people asked for this already.
But I would really like to have a +/- contrast option when reading PDF / CBR files. Freeshare software koreader has it already and it works just fine (but I prefer the original kobo software overall) |

I'd like to see the total word count of books displayable in the Details tab for each book in My Books. That's the screen also accessible via the three dot menu for each book. I don't know if this is possible or not.

As it doesn't exist, I use a metadata plugboard in calibre to put the word count into the comments when the book is sent to the device. I know others put it elsewhere, such as the subtitle or appended to the author. That way it will be displayed in the book list. |

EDIT: Now that I wish I'd thought of it, I can't figure out how to do it. I got Count Pages working, fwiw. But via that or even manually entering the value of the word count for a given book, do you have a pointer to how I'd enter the appropriate syntax in the Metadata Plugboard window? I can move this question elsewhere if that's appropriate. Then again, I can always enter the comments manually into the comments in the Calibre Edit Metadata window.

[Caveat: my Kobo's are kobopatched to death so the general GUI appearance will differ to defaults, but you should get the gist.] [See image 1] If you want to prefix a pagecount/wordcount line to the Synopsis in Kobo's Book Details you could try something like the the following in your calibre metadata plugboard: Code:
Source template: {#pages:|<div>Pages: |; }{#words:|Words: |</div><hr/>}{comments} Destination field: comments Or, if you wanted to append '(CP wordcount here)' to each book Title in the MyBooks lists then you could add something like this to your plugboard: Code:
Source template: {title}{#words:| (|)} Destination field: title Or, if you think adding wordcount to the book Title is ugly, try customising your calibre Kobo driver, either KoboTouch or KoboTouchExtended, on the Metadata tab, Subtitle field, to enable/customise the optional Subtitle template. This will give you an extra line between the book's Title and Series in all the Kobo book lists. Something like this: Code:
{#words:|Words: |} Last edited by jackie_w; 06-19-2020 at 07:27 PM. Reason: clarified the calibre Kobo driver names |

I'm a little lost on the third method because I can't find the location of the Metadata tab to enable the Subtitle template. It's probably right in front of me, but I'm not succeeding in tracking it down. Where is that? |

Continuing, albeit somewhat off topic... does what's done in this plugboard with word count and page totals only get stored on the device version of the epub? Does it get stored on the computer version, too? I'm using "Any Device" as the target for this plugboard. I'm hoping that when converting to kepub, when I do, that what I do with the plugboard persists. It does if I just change the .epub extension to .kepub, but that's probably only changing the engine that renders the book and loses the conversion benefits. When I use KTE, the third approach that jackie_w suggested should work. What about using kepubify? Would that lose what the plugboard provides? Or has it not even provided it at that point since I'd be converting before putting the file(s) onto the device? Last edited by mirage; 06-19-2020 at 07:14 PM. |
