Does this help

The 'sync now' issue is only an issue when I run the send-to-device or remove-from-device chains while the device is already connected (otherwise it runs on next sync) so I'm not inclined to go mucking around with my workflow.

Hi folks, I've been getting some glitch upon double-clicking files on list view. Can't remember when it started to happen, unfortunately. Before going into the description, let me state clearly what conditions don't trigger the error message:

a) double-clicking in Cover grid view is unaffected.

b) it doesn't happen when the event "Book List Double Clicked" is unchecked.

Now I'll try to explain. I have a chain with the following actions, kindly provided by ownedbycats, that runs on event "Book List Double Clicked":

- open book
- set #lastread
- Increment #timesread
- add date to #readdates

On list view, when I double-click the title of a book that contains a PDF format (which is my default "preferred input format" in Behaviour preferences, for double-clicking priority purposes), it runs the chain fine, sets all fields correctly. However, when I task-switch back to Calibre from my default system PDF program, the title cell shows as if waiting for an input, I mean, it's been inadvertently selected for editing, as if I had pressed F2.

What happens next is that, even without making any changes to the title field, when I click anywhere outside the title cell, I get the message in the attached log - "PermissionError: [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process"

Also, that will occur either when I have the tweak doubleclick_on_library_view set to 'open_viewer' or to 'do_nothing'. Since I started using this chain, I use the latter (do_nothing).

I wonder if some tweak to the "Book List Double Clicked" event or to the chain itself could prevent that?

Won't help with the unintentional selection, but the esc key should back out of accidental edits without the error.

yes, I've too found esc is a quick workaround for that.. but only after the error message, which is what I'm wondering if can be prevented

edit: well, what I actually wanted to mean is that pressing Esc prevents the message, but there's something else related to focus I can't precisely describe

I am not able to replicate. If by any chance you have the following plugin tweak set:

Code:
action_chains_single_click_edit = True
Try removing it and restart calibre, and see whether it makes a difference. This was useful to solve a problem that seem to have been resolved in recent calibre versions.

yes, that was it!

once I removed that plugin tweak, issue is resolved!

I can't remember why I've needed to set it, by the way, but hopefully this removal won't affect other chains.

I have an action chain:

1) Send to device, main memory
2) Single edit to put a check mark in a user column
3) Eject

If I have "show progress bar" and "wait until any jobs started by the selected action finishes" checked for the send, then it does not appear to wait and does not eject. If I uncheck progress bar it works. Checking both "show progress bar" and "wait until any progress bar finishes", then sometimes I get an error about device not connected.


Is this what it's supposed to do? Is there something else I should check or uncheck?

But you then need to reconnect to add the rest of the missing metadata such as the blurb, page numbers, reading time, columns, and series (if you are not using NickelSeries).

I believe this is the third time you've made the some reconnect comment, which alas does not answer the question.

Oh well, I realised single-click editing on list view is actually indispensable to me, so I did some extra testing and I guess I found something worth mentioning.

After reinstating the action_chains_single_click_edit plugin tweak, I tested different double-click speeds, either by alternating between purposely delayed double-clicks and fast ones or by changing the double-click speed setting on Control Panel (setting it to the fastest level available).

I'm still testing those settings but as of now I can "double-click to open" on list view without having that issue most times. It seems that the higher the double-click speed, meaning lower interval between the first and the second click, the less likely is that the issue will arise.

edit to add: actually I totally forgot that I had that tweak in place, so at some point I started to think it was a core Calibre option :amnesia_smiley:

Question: I have a custom kobo: identifier mapped to https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/{id} (this was previously used by the now-nonfunctional Kobo Books plugin).

I'd like to add to a chain to paste a URL (e.g. https://www.kobo.com/ca/en/ebook/some-random-book) into a dialog and automatically add the id to the book. Is this possible?

I tried putting a single-field edit but it didn't have the Paste from Clipboard button.

The custom action below would store clipboard contents into a chain variable called clipboard:

Code:
from qt.core import QApplication
from calibre_plugins.action_chains.actions.base import ChainAction

class PasteClipboardAction(ChainAction):

    name = 'Paste Clipboard'

    def run(self, gui, settings, chain):
        chain.set_chain_vars({'clipboard': QApplication.clipboard().text()})
You can access that using the following template

Code:
program:
    globals(clipboard)

Question: I use an Action Chain that runs upon "FanFicFare download finished" with the event manager. I think the event was included in the FFF plugin itself.

It uses a selection modifier to grab the newly-downloaded fanfics and then calls a chain which does several single-field edits (mostly template'd) as well as runs the comments cleaner.

However, if I alt-tab out of the window at any point after using FFF to confirm library update, there's some 50% chance that the Calibre UI will become unusable— I just get the error sound when clicking anything as though it's stuck under an invisible dialog. This doesn't happen if I remove the event, and I can't get it to trigger by alt+tabbing while manually running the chains (either the 'cleanup: fanfiction' or the 'FanFicFare Download' one with the selection modifier).

Has anyone else had issues like this?
