[GUI Plugin] Count Pages

[theducks]

I do the reverse , Pages, not words.

Look on the Other tab for Count pages: That may affect the posting of lookup results.

BTW I am a bit with Jon on this path. Those stats are frequently from users that do it 'Their Way', so the cant be counted on. I prefer using the plugins built methods for CONSISTENCY

I use the ADE method to count the pages of an ePub. Once you get used to DE page numbers, they work really well to give yo a sense of the length of the book.

Wiggo is correct.

As to why the menu name "implies" otherwise in your mind - well naming is hard, and Im sure davidfor at the time he added this feature thought it an ok compromise. What it is trying to say is that both the page count and word count will potentially get updated when you choose that menu item. So if you ran it against a new book for instance it wouldnt just be updating the page count from the website, it would also be updating the word count too assuming you have a custom column configured for it.

However the word count itself is of course calculated locally using the book format in your library.

My care factor is not sufficiently high enough to rename the menu as it is a feature I don't use and would mean asking all the translators to have to do additional work for their side of things...
