import a folder to calibre with several html files and pictures

MasterPlexus · 12-12-2024, 12:51 PM

Hi all,

I try to import a folder, where I have a startpage (1_start.html) which is a inventory of all HTML files in the folder. In the same folder all pictures also from the sub pages are stored. But when I import this into Calibre, only the pictures linked on the 1_start.html are stored in the Zip-Book, but all subpages are part of the boog. Is there a possibility to guide Calibre also to include the other pictures?
By the way, also the command do it in the same way:

Code:

calibredb add "C:\Users\zonk\OneDrive\book\2023_1\1_start.html" --title "Heise ct 2023-01" --author "calibre" --cover C:\Users\Dirk\OneDrive\book\2023_1\cover.jpg

thanks in advance

Assuming your HTML files and their resources are linked correctly that means using relative paths with correct separators, it will just work.

my htmls are in that way (relative path, for the further htmls and the pictures), but as stated the pictures are only included for 1_start.html, but not what is linked in the further pages.

Unfortunately I can not upload the files here, as they are coming from a pro account.

I see a message when I use the command option, for example:

Code:

IgnoreFile('C:\\Users\\Dirk\\OneDrive\\book\\test\\seite-18.html is a binary file')

Could that be a reason why it is not correctly handled?

Yes, it means your HTML files dont contain <html in th efirst 4KB of the file.

OK got it. I attached HTML, Header and Body tags and then it works.

For me this is unknowing, as the Recipies does not be blocked in this way. Several scripts there delete all what is outside of the main content (including the html tags), but receive anyhow the images. But the difference here is may that the reciepe itself load all the files and modifies them on the fly.

Anyhow, my issue is solved with this tip, thanks!
