That's why the term builder exists now, so you can grab descriptions from elsewhere and use those instead, but it kind of defeats the purpose of it all. |

Found something interesting
Quote:
The search is not really working so it's kind of a challenge to navigate to your book of choice. But I managed to find what I wanted using tag filtering. Now I need to try and get the old code for Shelfari back and try it out. |

Using Shelfari archive works
Quote:
I checked out an old version where Shelfari was still a source and built it. I enter the archive url for the Shelfari url and was able to export the terms into an XML. Then I checked out master, built and used the XML instead of Goodreads. Worked just fine. |

I'll add the Shelfari setting back in so people can use the archive links. How did you go about finding the book you were after? Edit: I've added it back in and uploaded 2.0.23b to the first post to try out. The Shelfari setting will have to be switched on in settings. I didn't test it very much but a couple tries seemed to work ok. Last edited by Ephemerality; 10-31-2017 at 02:32 PM. |

Hi Ephemerality,
I downloaded "xray-builder-gui-v2.0.23b.zip" but I get the following error when I try to run a search on GoodReads (using the button that has the magnifying glass on it) Quote:
I checked the version of HtmlAgilityPack and it's 1.4.9.5, (not the 1.6.2.0 that it says it requires), so I went online and found 1.6.2.0 and ran it with that and it worked! Buuuut then when I hit the checkbox I get the error Quote:
... So why does my version of X-Ray Builder that I downloaded today have the wrong files, and is there a workaround or maybe a quick fix on your end? Last edited by HopScotch; 11-04-2017 at 10:38 PM. |

Sorry about that, they were updated recently and I forgot to put the new ones in the zip when I uploaded it. I've uploaded a new zip that should have the right ones. Make sure to unzip the new EXE & PDB as well as the DLLs.

Bah, I didn't realize that was a requirement now. Another new zip available on the first post, this time the only change is the addition of the "x86" and "x64" folders that should be extracted. They have the 32 and 64 bit versions of the dll for it to load as needed.

iOS
So I managed to make this work on my Kindle Paperwhite today. And it got me thinking about the iOS app. Tried just copying these files usin this structure from a purchased amazon book, but no luck. Any clues? :P

As mentioned in the first post, there's a different process for the Android version, so it probably takes different files than usual. If you enable the Android option in settings, it might like those files instead of the regular Kindle ones. If the newest version of the app still works on my old iPhone 4 I could try it when I get a chance.

I revised my screenshot and noticed that the iOS app uses the ASC fies, not the android DB version. I noticed another curious thing, that seems to pose another problem for this to work. The same .mobi file I used on my Paperwhite, which has the EBOK tag, shows up as a personal doc on the iOS app. I added it manually through a file manager.
( sorry for the double post, I forgot I'd posted last ) |
