Dear Terisa, do you think it would be possible to add an option for the file's created/modified date? I'd find that super useful, if it's not too much work...

Sorry, but I don't think so, as you don't have information in the plugin level about the file itself but only the name and path.

A quick question. If I am adding a book and the book exists already so it is merged... will the filename still copy to the filename field?

Another question: For some reason when I copy the library structure, the column for the OriginalFilename doesn't copy. Is there a reason for this? All of my other custom columns copy to the new empty library structure.

@Terisa de Morgan - I have library A and library B, and both have a similar 'filepath/File Path' column. If I copy books from library A to library B the column 'filepath/File Path' values are retained if they're not empty, but they're empty the column in library B gets a path in the Temp directory.

@LadyKate - would your additional problem be related to this ==> Bug #1641278 “Custom columns don't copy on create new library”

The library I was copying the structure from was not empty BetterRed. All of the other custom columns EXCEPT the one created for and used as a column in the GetFileName plugin were created in the new library. I'm trying to remember if there were any values in the original attempt.

I just did a test and the column copied. Now I'm wondering if columns with no values copy ?? hummm.

I don't think so, but I'm not sure, I would have to make a test (when I add duplicate books, I don't usually merge them)

No, not that I know. Yesterday, indeed, after seeing this comment, I moved a book from a library with this column to a library without it, and calibre asked me to copy the column.

Perhaps the same plugin is called, and in this case the file is at the temp directory (as it's a internal copy), so, as the plugin finds the field empty it fulfills with the values it has.

In some cases I clear the file path cell in my intake library because it is 'meaningless'. So after copying books from my Intake library to the target library I will have to clear it again. Is there some way the PI can detect it's being invoked in a Copy to Library context and if it is, then do nothing.

I don't display the file path in the target library book list or book details sidebar, which is why its taken me so long to spot this.

I don't really know, I will have to check a bit the infrastructure to see if I can spot a way, because that's the only solution I can think about.

Edit: I will check if the stack can give me info in the same way it gives for not getting name with an "add_empty" command.

Hi Terisa,
I have searched for a plugin like this for since the beginning I started using Calibre. Where could I send my one billion paypal contribution ?

Hi Terisa,
there is a bug in your code.

Consider the following filename:

2008 - Handbook of Motivation Science - Shah, James & Gardner, Wendy L. (eds)-[Guilford].pdf

It is imported as:

filename: 2008 - Handbook of Motivation Science - Shah, James & Gardner, Wendy L
Extension: (eds)-[Guilford]

This other filename:

2009 - Building Motivational Interviewing Skills - David B. Rosengren.pdf

It is imported as:

filename: 2009 - Building Motivational Interviewing Skills - David B
extension: Rosengren

You are probably searching for the first DOT from the start of the filename, while you should search for the first DOT from the end of filename... or you are using a wrong regular expression.

Also, I see that the original extension as been truncated, so you are using some kind of code were you drop everything there is in the filename after the second dot and the second dot too...

I suppose today I have lost a lot of information while importing +3000 books
(261 book with wrong/partial information which I already have deleted )

Hi,
a last problem:

Some books have the temp path as extracted path:

An example:
"C:\Users\Familia\AppData\Local\Temp\calibre_omm2o x\rsdo8k_add_books\482"
