Plug-ins provide functionality missing from standard Calibre. There is no need for LC to add functionality that Calibre already has for "Identifiers". ISSN is an "Identifier".
If you hover your mouse over the Edit Metadata dialog field for Identifiers, a ToolTip will appear, showing you the format to use. Example: isbn:9781605207971, lc_authority_name:nr2003021008, lccn:lccn-nr2003021008, loc_lccn:04003431, oclc:779937032, oclc-owi:924827, viaf_author_id:155240756 This may be useful to you: https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/ DaltonST |

French Version of Dewey Codes available (now)
Hi Dalton,
When i saw this topic and that we are able to import a CSV to map genre in Calibre, i've decided to make a french version of the Dewey Decimal Classification. I found a link on the web where there is 669 pages of french dewey codes with the genres associated with them. I've made a txt file out of it... 30,0460 rows. Very useful to categorize large libraries. if this can help some users, it's available here... Last edited by steris8; 11-13-2017 at 06:29 PM. |

"composite" custom column template of "{identifiers:isbn}"
Yes, if you are looking at the "composite" custom column in the library view that has a template of "{identifiers:isbn}". That type of custom column is not updated by Calibre in realtime like other custom columns, since it is a virtual custom column, not "real".
LC issues a Message in the lower left side of the GUI stating that your ISBN was converted from 10 to 13, and that you should "E'dit to see the new value" for the book's ISBN. See the attached image. If you were to Edit Metadata, you would see in the Identifiers that indeed the ISBN was changed. Or, you Quick Switch to another Library and then Quick Switch back in order to force all composite custom columns to be refreshed. Or, restart Calibre. If the above is not the issue, then the ISBN-10s are not "valid", and cannot be converted to ISBN-13s. You can independently verify the validity of an ISBN-10 by using an online tool to convert it, such as https://www.isbn.org/ISBN_converter. DaltonST |

Version 1.0.32 Technical and functional enhancements to ISBN scrubbing
Version 1.0.32 - 2018-05-15 Technical and functional enhancements to ISBN scrubbing.
Also, the problem with Qt (the GUI toolkit used by Calibre) "losing" status messages that were supposed to be shown in the lower left corner of the GUI has been resolved via a workaround to force Qt to show them. The LC messages that appeared to "freeze" because their replacement messages were being "lost" by Qt will appear once again. DaltonST |

Version 1.0.33 Function "Extraction of ISSN from PDF periodicals" Updated
Version 1.0.33 - 2018-05-16 Function "Extraction of ISSN from PDF periodicals" changed to reflect Calibre changes to its pdf-to-html function. If you have a version of Calibre older than 3.20, you must upgrade Calibre prior to upgrading Library Codes.
LC extracts ISSNs from PDFs for Magazines and Periodicals. The other LC functionality then may be executed for the PDFs for which ISSNs were extracted. View the LC Menu ToolTips for more information. DaltonST |

Is LC supposed to create the LCC, DCC columns automatically? Is there something I need to do to make this happen? I went through the set up and saved, but no columns were created.

Hard-coded Identifier Keys
DaltonST,
Thank you for the excellent plugin. As I am trying to organize my library, both ebooks and paper-books, I have found your plugin a huge help. Most especially, as I try add and correct metadata, your plugin has been great. I am not completely Python fluent, but I have looked at your code, and I see you have put a lot of work into this tool. Is there a reason that you hard coded the keys for the Calibre 'Identifiers' field / dictionary? When I try to correct or check the ids for my books, I often get confused between the lccn, loc_lccn, and the lc_authority_name. The lccn is the id for the author and the loc_lccn is the one for the book. The oclc and oclc-owi fields are more intuitive. Even so, I get tripped up trying to remember to use a dash for the oclc-owi identifier, but an underscore the the #oclc_owi composite column I have. In any case, I can pick the names for the #ddc and #lcc custom columns, but I can not pick any of the identifier keys. Why? I am interested in hacking at, ... err, I mean editing, ... the plugin code to see if I could get the ids to take configurable parameters, but before I took a bunch of time at it, I thought I should ask. Is there some reason that I should not parameterize the id keys? Also, if I do get this working, are you interested in merging in a branch off the current 1.0.34 baseline code, or would this project just be a one off thing for my own use? In any case, thanks for a great plugin. cbedgar |
