Another issue: When the Series information is already set, but with a different series name than Baen has chosen, the plugin overrides that to Baen Series Name [1]. I'm sure I'm not alone in having some series listed in Calibre with a different name than Baen has chosen to use. My personal preference would be for the series information to be written ONLY when there isn't something there already. For example, with the Carousel series, the author (and I) have chosen to refer to it as the Archer's Beach series, so the eARC was in Calibre as Archer's Beach [3]. That was overwritten to Carousel [1]. On another book, When the Devil Dances, where I used the same exact series name as Baen, the behaviour was correct. It did not overwrite the series index. |

Works with all of my test cases, some of which did not work with the original plugin.

I got that from the context, and did look at them, though I had to dig NNTP out of the dusty corners of my mind. I was responding to the suggestion that this thread wasn't the correct place for the discussion of problems with this plugin. My reaction that that is basically

What I had completely forgotten or possibly didn't know, are that the rules can be changed with a tweak. The "Auto increment series index" tweak has two options. I have: Code:
series_index_auto_increment = 'first_free' use_series_auto_increment_tweak_when_importing = False Changing the latter option to "True" will use the same rules as used when setting the series in the metadata editor. |

Not what I meant. This thread is the place to discuss the plug-in, but Baen’s Bar (either the EBooks conference or Toni’s Table) would be where to discuss what Baen’s site can do to accommodate the plug-in, or what features of the new site the plug-in might be able to use.

There are 2 ends of any download plugin. Sometimes the adjustment needs to be at the source end for simplicity |

I can't repeat it now. I suspect some previous metadata edit had inserted an incorrect ISBN value, which Calibre, of course, accepted. The eARC should have ONLY a webscription value, since it's not sold anywhere else.

Any word on a "release version" of this? It seemed like we had most problems resolved...

I'm waiting for kiwidude. When I change his plugins, I send a message to him about the update and he updates the first post. Usually he is pretty quick, but it has been a week or so this time.

Minor nit...
Just to mention that in __init__.py around line 28, "Bean" should be "Baen". Otherwise, the plugin works for me.

Beta - Site changes
Does anyone know when this stopped working? I went to add the second item below, and found the search wasn't working. So, I had to fix it.
While fixing this, there are two things that seem to be missing: series information and the publisher. The series is sometimes in the title or the first line of the description, but it is not always there. The publisher is also missing on the details page. Second change is for a change I made to the metadata editor that has been released in calibre version 3.34. When you press the button next to the identifiers field, if there is a URL in the clipboard, then it will attempt to get an identifier from the URL. That function needs support from the metadata source plugins. If anyone is out there and wants to use this, please test the beta and tell me how it goes.

I managed to get the Grantville Gazette, Volume 80 to work by using the URL method to add the ID and changing the author from Bjorn Haessler to Eric Flint while The Valley of Shadows worked using the URL to add the ID. |
