[FileType Plugin] GetFileName - Page 7

Is there a reason why this plugin won't work on books that are not epubs?

I can't get my MOBI or AZW3 files to show up. Epubs are fine though...

Not really, I use it with my mobi ebooks. Do you have the last version? Because the previous ones had problems because of an internal extension change. And, have you installed the apprentice alf plugin?

Have you submitted the problem via Calibre Bug Database ?

Terisa de morgan · 02-06-2017, 04:48 PM

No, checking the other problem with mobi/azw, I think I've found the problem (the plugin was silently crashing and I hadn't seen it). I think I'll add the new version with the two faults (that I don't know how they hadn't happened to me before

) tomorrow night.

No, the problem was forgetting "If it works, don't touch" and trying to beautify the code

I've uploaded a new version (0.0.11) that, hopefully, corrects the problems with some file types, and it treats all kind of file types (it requires calibre 2.79).

Hi,
I like this plugin very much, it fills a gap in my needs.

I am running in some difficulties using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.

Some weeks ago, i started to import epubs in a bulk. I recognized, adding books with the options "add from a single directory" does not work always. Some books did not get a filename. Changing the strategy to "automatic adding" and it works perfect.

Since yesterdays i am not able to use this workaround. Pushing 3700 files to the automatic directory, leads to an
[Errno 24] Too many open files

see:
Bug #1664978 “[Errno 24] Too many open files / automatic adding...” : Bugs : calibre
https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/1664978

So i tried it again with (Version 0.0.11), using "add from a single directory".
But the result was, 20% of the books (all epub) has no filename.

This is the same result I recognized a few weeks ago, this drops to 0%, using automatic adding - which i can not use any more.

Any idea for a solution?

Terisa de morgan · 02-15-2017, 02:00 PM

For knowing which the problem is, I would need a debug log of a session with failed files. Unless I have that, I can do nothing.

BTW, I ALWAYS use the option: "Add from a single directory", and it doesn't fail, so, unless the problem is the big number of books, I'll need more info.

Rellwood · 02-15-2017, 03:13 PM

Is there any chance we can select the type of date of file?

Using the modified date doesn't work for files that are coming out of zips or RARS.

The created date works better for that.

I tried to have the created date be the only one showing, but the plugin still only delivers the modified date

No, sorry. The created date is a concept that it is not the same in all the SOs, so I'm not going there.

Rellwood · 02-15-2017, 03:32 PM

Sigh.
Regarding Mobi/AZW3 files, I updated apprentice alf.

I also discovered that the custom columns when named "original_file_path" and "original_file_name" become non-user specified.
Is that a part of the plugin, because it seems that as soon as I made these columns they worked perfectly.
Perhaps this is a reason why others have hit/miss results.

I don't understand you question, sorry. What does "non-user" specified means?

Rellwood · 02-15-2017, 03:53 PM

I cant remember the exact term, but its when Calibre decides that the column is not able to be changed or modified by the user.

Are you saying that, if you give the column the name "original_file_path" or "original_file_name", then they are not custom column anymore? No, I didn't know, I've never used a so long name. Anyway, I don't understand why calibre doesn't allow to store data there.
