[GUI Plugin] Save To Format

[MerlinMama]

Thought I'd updated this, sorry. I needed to restart my computer, and after this it stopped asking me to input the information every time. Strange occurrence, but at least it's solved.

Used your plug-in to solve this:
Is it possible Convert/Save to disk in one step without storing a file type

Thank you!!!!!!

Will this be updated for the Calibre 5 release?

@MerlinMama - SauliusP hasn't been active since Jan 2020, I sent a PM a couple of weeks to give him/her nudge about the Hyphenate This! plugin - no response as yet.

I'll add this plugin to my list of plugins that people use that haven't been updated to version 5.

When I start using Calibre 5 and something doesn't work - maybe then. However, I update Calibre very rarely.

Does this mean you don't plan on updating your plugins to work with Calibre 5?

No, this means I will not commit to any deadline. But eventually I'll start porting all the plugins I've published so far.

But this does mean that people who actively use your plugins will be unable to upgrade to Calibre 5.

Please update. I can't use for calibre 5.

Any chance of anyone updating this to work with version 6?

Pretty please.

[sunshineangel]

Can anyone update it, I really need it for version 6.

Until this plugin is updated, an alternative is using the Action Chains plugin with this custom action.

• Install the Action Chains from calibre (preferences > get plugins)
• Copy the code of the custom action and paste it in the module editor after giving it a name. (Action Chains > Manage Modules > Create)
• Create a new chain with a name of your choosing. In the chain add custom action "User actions > Save to disk", and press the settings button to configure the action.

I've edited the plugin to work the caliber 6, hoping that SauliusP. won't feel bad about it.

Hi! Necroposting here, but... I wonder if someone has created a Git repository with this plugin, and, if so, where is it, and are you open to push/merge requests?

I've got the 'last' official version posted by @sunshineangel above, and sort of gave it a thorough cleaning up so that it runs under Calibre 6.29, but I'm afraid it's not 100% operational. Bear with me, I'm not a Python programmer at all, much less one who is familiar with how Calibre actually works...

At least, it won't crash Calibre

On the other hand, unfortunately, 6.29 is the last version I can run on my Mac. I guess I could download 7.25 and compile it from scratch, but I'm too lazy for that

For those who use Action Chains, can this plugin be written as an action chain?
