I would like to see something like this as well. Right now, in order to manager my calibre library on my laptop and still host it when the laptop is off, I'm using git to push changes...

Proofreader plug-in?

Perhaps somebody could write a plug-in linking Calibre's Viewer with the Editor. The idea is that when you find a typo while reading you hilite it, invoke the plug-in, and it loads the book into Editor with focus on the hilited word.

Updating the Viewer with the revised version when you close Editor would be optional-I can see possible problems doing that. (E.g. how do you return to the same place if you've deleted the word?)

I don't think the Viewer supports plugins - yet

IMO rather than dodging back and forth between viewer and editor it would be better to have an option in the Editor Preview panel to show text that had already been highlighted in the Viewer. The Editor does support plugins, but I'm not sure if a Editor plugin could alter the behaviour of Preview.

An alternative might be to use Sigil/PageEdit - PageEdit is Sigil's companion WYSIWYG EPUB editor - its primary usage is making content changes when proof reading.

The alternative would be for the editor to be able to handle annotations made in the viewer. Then, you could mark the error in the viewer and make all the changes in the editor in a single session.

I use a reader for android (moon reader) and it has a name replacement function.
That handles it as if it were a synonymous list
Example:
If the text says Caliber but it should say Calibre
One manually creates a list Caliber = Calibre
Therefore, when the word Caliber appears, the reader will recognize that he must read or pronounce Calibre.
As you can see in the sect place the text says "Bienvengana" which is what the book said, when in fact it should say "Bienvenida"

I have been looking for some kind of database to filesystem validator. Has anyone seen a plugin or some way to basically confirm that every book that is on the filesystem is existing inside the Calibre database? I have been running Calibre since 0.8, and I wonder if it has missed anything over time with all the updates and the moving books between libraries etc..

Basic searches of plugins is not showing what I am looking for, but might be my search criteria. Any chance anybody knows off the top of their head if such a plugin actually exists?

Have you tried the Library Maintenance functions? Click on the Library icon, click on Library Maintenance and then Check Library. No plugin needed.

I have done that a couple of times, but was under the impression it was from the other direction. Make sure that the books that were in the database exist on the filesystem. I wanted to verify the other direction and make sure every book on my filesystem exists in the database.

I will poke at the maintenance functions again and see if I misunderstood how it works or if it is possible to reverse the validation.

It checks both ways, as described in the Help text

Is there a plugin for getting metadata from openlibrary.com? It looks like it's fairly easy to get results from the site as a json response so I'd imagine that would make it fairly simple to parse. Unfortunately, I don't really even know where to begin on writing it myself.

Openlibrary is a built in metadata source.
Preferences: metadata downloads is where you configure priority an use

Isn't that built in source only for downloading covers? I'm talking about getting metadata from them, eg comment, publish date, tags, etc.

Hello! I've been using Calibre for years and I want to thank everyone working on it.
I registered because I have an idea for a plugin and I don't think it's been already discussed. I had it because I've got at least one series of pulp books that's 200 books long and it bloats up my shelf view, it's just bad.

So the idea would be to be able to regroup books in the cover grid layout.



So that, instead of this


we'd see something like this for example


and by clicking on the series thumbnail, we'd get a GUI window to select which book we want (just like the manage Series plugin)

What do y'all think?

A Plugin to Share tags in a column between all books of same series

I use several tags to represent genres and unfortunately, metadata search doesn't find genres for most of my books (from amazon). It can get very tedious entering in several dozen tags for every book...
Anyways, since a series of books will typically have the same genres throughout, it would be great if tags in certain columns would get appended to all books that share a series with the selected book when the plugin is run.

I tried making something with action chains, but just ended up with a headache. If someone has a working chain that does this, please share!
