@drMerry - see my post at the end of the previous page, theducks mentioned the same thing. Currently there is an "assumption" that you have sorted your duplicates out using the menu item right next to this one. However that is perhaps not the most user friendly of approaches, and I didn't realise it would result in your example above of reporting a gap where there isn't one. I'll sort it in the next release, thanks.

I have a series 1-7
I have it duplicated. The reaction is that I do have 5 gaps in 1 series: Series: XXX - Author: YYY - Last: #7 Missing#: 2,3,4,5,6 (So I do have: 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 6, 6, 7, 7) At the other hand, I think completely ignore the series could cause problems too. E.g. if two series do have the same name, but are written by different authors. A common case are the 'best of'. If it is Best of AUTHOR, you can add author to the series and there is no problem (assuming there is only one collection best of for this author, and the name of the author is unique). But for series like Best of SF.... there is a problem... |

Hello,
do you think you could add an epub check for the number of pages in an ebook? I don't know if it is possible but it could help with some of my conversions where there are 2 files and one (the summary) is wrongly picked. |

Hi Sengian. I am not sure exactly what you are asking for? There is a plugin called "Count Pages" which allows you to have the number of pages and/or words displayed in custom columns for epub or MOBI files. I don't understand what you mean by "summary" etc?

I wasn't aware of the plugin.
It will fit my needs I think. My problem is i have html books in rar form with a folder and a summary.txt files. Thoses files are converted by calibre without error but the text is the content of the summary file, so the easiest way to check this is to see if the page number is greater than say 5 for example. Thanks for your time. |

When scanning my book selection for "non dc metadata" I get following traces in the log:

v1.6.3 Released
Changes in this release:
Thanks to Idolse for providing the margin checks, which act as companions for the Modify ePub plugin which I have also released officially today. @DrMerry - this should fix the duplicate issue you reported, thanks for that. The other new check is for so-called "smart tags" which irritate me greatly. When I looked into these a while ago I think it is Word that is the source of these, and for people who edit books without unticking the "save smart tags" box. The net result is in the html for your book you end up with something like this around anything that looks like a possible street or road name: Code:
<p class="xxx">He walked down</p> <address class="xxx"> Main St. </address> <p> to see something...</p> |

Title Case
I don't know if this has been mentioned before but running Check Title Case it flags Leon Uris' QBVII.
It probably shouldn't as it is an acronym of Queens Bench Courtroom Number Seven and my guess is that it is written correctly - that's how the author wrote it anyway. Otherwise, all my book titles have now the correct title case thanks to the Quality Check. Great job, kiwidude

 Anyway, this plugin just checks to see if the title is consistent with Calibre's built-in titlecase function -- so this is really a Calibre issue not a Quality Check issue  More seriously, the only way to tell if the title is capitalized the way the author intended would be to analyze the text of the document and see how the title phrases/words are capitalized in the document. There's really no way to identify what is or isn't an acronym, or what unusual capitalization the author prefers, etc. without contextual analysis -- which I think you would agree is way too much work for very little benefit.

Calibre has probably a built-in safe acronyms list - CIA, FBI, NATO, UN... [EDIT] The plot thickens... If I change the title to QBVII, Queens Bench Courtroom Number Seven, calibre accepts the capitalized QBVII, but not if the title consists only of QBVII. CIA, Black Ops is also accepted, but a title like CIA will be converted to Cia. Last edited by paulfiera; 11-02-2011 at 11:02 AM. |

An acronym list would be pretty much unmaintainable.
One of the neat tricks the titlecase algorithm uses, which can be confusing, is that it checks for internal logic in the title presented to it -- if the words are all lowercase or all uppercase, it assumes no existing titlecase, and does it's best. But if there is a word in all uppercase in a string of titlecase/lowercase words it assumes that was intentional (perhaps an acronym!), and preserves the word in uppercase. Hence the results you observed. |

capnm has it all spot on in his responses, thanks for helping out. The key point being that QualityCheck just uses the Calibre titlecase functionality and nothing this plugin controls at all.
Just as a related aside, a feature request I created for myself from when I wrote the Find Duplicates plugin was the ability to create exclusions for Quality Check functions. So for checks like this one you would not have to keep getting the same special case exemptions appearing each time. I'll get to it "one day", but this check is a great example of one it would be tailor made for. |

@kiwidude, Thanks for all your plugins...
I am using this one to tidy up my library with books that need proper TOC's... Used Add epub check for TOC with < 3 entries... When I get the returned answer I then get the option to view log, copy to clipboard, as I like to copy this list to a notepad file for future reference can I just get it to copy Author & Title and not path/folder name/file name or is there an option to do this that I have missed... Cheers Jay |

Hi Jay,
I guess the question is why you copy this all off for "future reference". When the quality check is completed, it "marks" the books that need attention, displayed using this search: marked:epub_toc_too_small So if you intend to edit the books to fix them, you can do so right from the search results window in calibre. If instead you want to process them at a later date - well either just run the QualityCheck again at that time (since it is fairly quick). Or select all those books and via the bulk metadata dialog add a tag or set some custom column for you to search that way. However I would always just run the QC again. Is there some particular reason why the above approaches do not work for you? I see what you mean about the log, the reason it is like that is just code laziness on my part (I would have to write a little extra to read the actual title/authors from the database and pump out to the log). If its a showstopper I can add it for a future release, but I'm curious as to why you feel using the log and manually typing in searches from it rather than just using the search results is better for you? |
