Doubt about removing identifier in book
Hi,
I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or it is a bug or whatever. If ind the book window I select the goodreads identifier, press right button and select "Remove identifier", no error appear but the identifier is still in the book. Is there any restriction? Cannot it be removed in this way? Thank you very much in advance. |

Confirmed - seems to be only Goodreads Identifiers, yet one can remove them in Metadata Edit - doesn't make sense.

There is nothing goodreads specific in the remove identifiers code. I dont use the goodread plugin, what does a goodreads identifier look like?

I noticed something odd about this. The identifier for Barnes and Noble is "barnesnoble" and if I right click a Barnes and Noble ID I see "Remove barnesnoble from this book". The identifier for Goodreads is "goodreads" but if I right click a Goodreads ID I see "Remove Goodreads from this book" with different capitalization.

Both goodreads and fantastic fiction has the same problem, and I think the problem is that there is a difference between the token you see when hover over them in the book window and when you open the identifiers window:

The get_book_url() functions in those plugins should be fixed to return the correct value or identitier_type. it should be the exact same things as appears before the colon in the identifier.

Yes, I've reported it at Goodreads plugin, as I had made the change myself in the local copy and worked.
