Tematika Pricecheck:
Not having any books with Argentinian ISBNs, I tested by changing a few ISBNs to their complementary Argentine versions. In my tests, everything worked. @Dunhill, please let me know if you have any issues. You need to manually create the two custom columns (one for price and one for date which must be in date format) and then put the column labels into their respective textboxes in the configuration of the plugin. Columns example: Last edited by azuravian; 10-20-2021 at 12:01 PM. Reason: Added image of custom columns |

I already appreciate your time and work, I owe you more than one beer !!!
Great, excellent work! I would recommend that you make a spatial thread of the complement, for the people who use that page, which is from one of the most important libraries in Argentina. And to make a mention of the requirements that they should install for python. Info: https://lxml.de/3.4/installation.html Last edited by dunhill; 10-21-2021 at 04:59 PM. |

Change/access "title" and "author" PDF metadata in calibre
When you modify the title and author metadata in calibre for pdf files, it doesn't actually modify the pdf metadata like when going into Document Properties in Acrobat. So whenever I re-add files I always have to rename them. It would be nice if there was a plugin to individually or batch modify the file metadata so it matches the calibre metadata. Obviously this won't work for encrypted files, but the option would be nice.

Use the embed metadata tool (add it to your calibre toolbar via preferences->toolbars)

Hello people, I have a technical query
A friend is making a complement following the indications of the Calibre guide. He is working in pycharm and does not know how to import the code libraries to make them work in calibre, he always depends on the project code libraries. As he exports those dependencies so that when installing the plugin it works for him from the plugin and not from the py project. You understand what I say ... |

I have no programming experience, aside from some pdf conversion scripts, and have trouble reading online, but I'd like some way to help track my OneBookShelf library via Calibre.
OneBookShelf sells gaming books, some novels, some comic books. It has its own app to help download these. It tracks these in mostly plain text in a file library.dat, so it should be easier to check this file than to check online. It doesn't use csv, though. Using Calibre as well as the OneBookShelf app could help readers and players who want to keep notes on which books we plan to use soon, want to keep notes on what they do or don't cover, want to pre-process pdfs before sideloading them, etc. P.S. It looks like library.dat is a json file. There are a lot of online tools to convert json to csv, but that would share personal data, I'm not sure what a suitable and safe online tool would be.

To publish a plugin, it must have a thread in the plugins forum, and an entry in th e plugins index. The entry in the plugins index can only be made by a Moderator, so you'll need to request that. See the plugins index post for more details of the format required for the plugin's thread. |

Predefined Export Jobs
Hi Folks,
I miss the following Function in Calibre, I name it "Predefined Export Jobs". <USE CASE> I have many Groups of Books that have to be Exported in different Ways. For Instance: 1. Group Virtuel Library: vl:"ToppicA" or vl:"ToppicB" Exportparameter: {authors}/{title} - {authors} 2. Group Virtuel Library: vl:"ToppicC" or vl:"ToppicD" Exportparameter: {tags}/SomeText {series_index:0>4} - {title} - {authors} 3. Group Virtuel Library: vl:"ToppicD" or vl:"ToppicE" Exportparameter: {series}/{series} {series_index:0>4} - {title} - {authors} and so on... </USE CASE> <Now> I have a Cheat Sheet with the Relations between the Virtuel Libraries and the Exportparameters, and before I launch an Export I have to register the Parameters in the Export Section of the SetUp Dialog. And I have many Virtual Libs only for the sake of Export. This is not very comfortable. </Now> <Then> There is a "Books Export"-Button (or something else) which provides a 'Predefined Export Jobs' Function, which invokes a Sub Dialog. Here you can define or launch one or more 'Predefined Export Jobs' One single Entry in the List of Export Jobs Table contains the following Information: Line in a Table: 1. [CheckBox] select for Export 2. Name of the "Export Job" 3. Search Expression (equal to the Search Expression in a Virtual Lib) 4. Exportparameter (equal as in the Export Section in the SetUp Dialog) 5. Description (Free Text) Dialog Wide: [Button] Add new Entry [Button] Remove selected Entry [Button] Export Selected [Button] Cancel The Table Contend has to be saved in the Calibre Workspace. </Then> I hope I could describe what I would like to have, and I hope somebody can develope a Plugin which solve the Problem Greetings from the North Sea Coast Adu |

Three tools spring to mind -
One of more of these might get you some way towards what you want. Plugins are almost invariably developed by the user who first identifies a specific need. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 11-16-2021 at 03:08 PM. |

Hello plugin experts, does anyone remember a plugin that creates a custom column?
Count pages warns that the plugin needs a custom column, but it does not create it, we should create it before the plugin. Image 1 warning of the dialogue. Image 2 we cannot put the name for a new column, only choose an existing one. |

Yes, I agree with you David. I have always created the columns first following the instructions of the plugins, but it came to my attention that the plugin advises that it needs a custom column, but that it cannot be created from that instance. |

Can't recall any plugins with the ability to create a custom column, there might be a couple that mandate the custom column lookup name value.

It does not make sense for plugins to create custom column(s), since you need to restart to be able to use the new custom column(s).
