Yes, of course--I was looking for a way to make something we need to do easier. ;-) I looked at this first out of curiosity as to the software, but he mentioned it was being used for watermarking, specifically, and thus I pursued it further. However, as I said, it doesn't really suit our purposes, in terms of the process. For us, it's easier to watermark the books via css or an existing page until they are paid for. I mean--a page is a page is a page. If one has a thousand books sitting in a dir, yes, this would be spiffy; but if you're crafting them one at a time, regardless of how many are being done in a day, it's just another step, no different than adding a page that's already made by hand. (Because, of course, we'd also have to REMOVE them as the book went to its "new home.") Thus, probably easier to either wipe a class in CSS and pull an image, OR delete a pre-made page. As I said two posts ago, six of one, half-dozen of the other, as we say here (they are equivalent in terms of pros and cons). Thanks, Hitch |

Hi all,
I have just opened a thread for the Calibre plugin of Ex Libris at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=188619 |

One question, I'm trying to add an exlibris from your examples and I'm always obtaining: "String index out of Range". Any idea? Perhaps the books?

Hi, it might be a bug in the exlibris code* or a problem with the book. Has the latter been validated (with an EPUB validator like FlightCrew or EpubCheck)?
I can have a look at the problem if you send me the EPUB (if it does not infringe any copyright). In case, you can send me a link or the EPUB itself at alberto AT albertopettarin.it , thanks. * I have purposedly avoided standard XML parsers (which require a well-formed input) in order to be lenient towards slightly-incorrect content/toc files (I tested it on a couple of invalid EPUBs as well); but clearly my code can still fail. |

I've checked with four books: three created with calibre and a purchased one (no DRM). The books created by calibre give the same error: string index out of range (and calibre plugin fails too). The purchased book give an error about a bad reference in opf.
None of them are validated by EpubCheck, so if it's necessary, I think I'll pass. The log at the plugin is: Spoiler:
If you want one of the epubs, I can send it to you. Last edited by Terisa de morgan; 08-24-2012 at 06:29 PM. |
