Post-processing, like the OP says:

If activated, either a random 12 character ASIN or an ASIN defined as a metadata entry will be added to the file using KevinH's dualmetafix_mmap.py.

The plugin creates the ASIN metadata when it already exists in certain records in the Kindlebook's metadata.

ASINs are either part of the Kindlebook inherently (purchased from Amazon), or they've been added to the Kindlebooks through an external (post-proccessing) step such as the one eschwartz mentioned.

That's correct. For example, if a user imports an Kindle book with the KindleImport plugin, it'll generate the following metadata entry for books that already have an ASIN:

Code:
<dc:identifier opf:scheme="AMAZON">B00XXXXXXX</dc:identifier>
If the KindleGen plugin can't find the above metadata entry it'll also look for the following metadata entry:

Code:
<dc:identifier opf:scheme="MOBI-ASIN">B00XXXXXXX</dc:identifier>
As eschwartz has already mentioned, if none of these entries exist, the plugin will use KevinH's dualmetafix_mmap.py file to add a random 12 character ASIN to the MOBI/AZW3 files.

BTW, on eInk Kindles, AZW3 files with an ASIN number will be displayed without a cover thumbnail. That's why the plugin can also optionally generate a cover thumbnail file.

Oops! I thought I was posting in my kindleimport plugin's thread!

At least everything I said made a bit of sense regardless.

I have two problems. In kindlegen.ini i have:
Code:
azw3_only = True
but its generating still both files: azw3 and mobi. Second problem is in azw3 files, not always, but often missing style file. I have manually add style.ini from epub.

That's the default behavior. You can either delete the .mobi file or comment out line #367 in plugin.py.

from:
Code:
                    open(outmobi7, 'wb').write(mobisplit.getResult7())
to:

Code:
                    #open(outmobi7, 'wb').write(mobisplit.getResult7())

You can't change style settings with a style.ini file. (The plugin only checks the settings in kindlegen.ini.)
If you have problems with styles, you most likely didn't link the style sheets in Sigil via Link Stylesheets...

Thanks, works. I don't know why, but in mine file plugin.py it's line #352. Log file still says that mobi file is generated, but there is no mobi file now.

I added a simple GUI with Sigil preferences support and some checks for epub3 books. For details see the first post.

Thanks for your work on the plugin.

When I run the plugin, I get this message:

Quote:
Status: failed

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Program Files\Sigil\plugin_launchers\\python\launcher.py", line 134, in launch

from PIL import Image
ImportError: No module named 'PIL'
Error: No module named 'PIL'
Any suggestions what can be wrong, and how to fix this? Thanks!

This message is usually being displayed if the PIL library can't be found.
Select Plugins > Manage Plugins and enable the Use Bundled Python option. If you're using an older Sigil version that doesn't come with a bundled Python interpreter, try the following:
  1. Open an administrator prompt.
  2. Go to the Python folder that contains pip.exe (or pip3.exe) and enter the following command:
    Code:
    pip install Pillow

(You also might have to install beautifulsoup4 and lxml.)

Anyone knows the difference between mobi files generated normally with kindlegen and the ones using -amzncreator argument (possibly how previewer generates them)?

Thanks for the plugin.

AFAIK, jhowell, has reverse-engineered parts of Kindle Previewer for his Calibre KFX plugin. He might know what this parameter does.

I had an version 0.1 working and uninstalled that, installed 0.4.
I'm using Sigil 0.91.

When I run it, it it just runs for a few seconds then I get :

Quote:
Status: failed

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "d:\sigil\plugin_launchers\python\launcher.py" , line 135, in launch
self.exitcode = target_script.run(container)
File "C:\DOCUME~1\Owner\Local Settings\Application Data\sigil-ebook\sigil\plugins\KindleGen\plugin.py", line 316, in run
epubversion = bk.epub_version()
AttributeError: 'OutputContainer' object has no attribute 'epub_version'
Error: 'OutputContainer' object has no attribute 'epub_version'
Looking at the code, this is the very first thing it does in the main routine.

This for an epub I had just run the old version on earlier, so I don't think there is any problem with that. Epubcheck says no errors. I tried a few others with the same result.

I didn't see the preferences GUI. How do I get that?

Also there is no kindlegen.ini file anywhere. The old one was deleted when I uninstalled it, but no new one was created.

So I reinstalled 0.1, copied the ini file, uninstalled, installed 0.4, copied the 0.1 ini file into its folder, but still the same error as above.

0.1 worked to make the basic file, but I wanted the later version to get the thumbnail as well.

Full disclosure: I am running DiapDealer's "Unofficial Sigil Windows XP Build" on XP, so if there is some Win 7 or later dependency, I could be screwed.
Are the earlier versions of this plugin available to try? When was the thumbnail option introduced?
