[GUI Plugin] Action Chains - Page 6

ownedbycats · 12-03-2020, 12:41 AM

Smallish unintended effect: I wanted to have an action set a bool column to undefined. I couldn't.

Code:

calibre, version 5.6.0
ERROR: Undefined value: Predefined options chosen without specifying a value

Search and replace worked, but it felt kind of like using a sledgehammer to put up a thumbtack.

Perhaps could be also added a fourth option in Single Field Edit: "Clear current value"?

I will try to code in way that keeps it compatible with python2 whenever possible.

I understand it, but it's not something that applies to me as I don't use Open with

And, let's say, I strongly hate whoever designed python changes from 2 to 3, and forgot (or ignored) compatibility.

Version 0.2.0

Update: re-write add actions as a table dialog.
Update: re-write config dialog table.

Version 0.2.1

Update: make columns movable.
Update: save and restore columns state.

Version 0.3.0

Update: Add option to clear value in the single field edit.
Fix: Allow the user to choose undefined predefined values for bool, enumeration and rating field types.
Fix: Multiple other fixes to the single field edit.
Fix: When copying a chain in the customize dialog, ensure the name is unique

I can incorporate the changes you made to make it work better with calibre 4 if that makes it easier for you. But you still have to change the minor version in the plugin each time you download a new version.

My only change has been to downgrade the minimum version

I've found a problem in the last release with a specific sentence, which generates "syntax error" in the load of the plugin, but I've commented it and it's working without problem. The sentence in gui/delegates is:

Code:

#        button.clicked.connect(lambda *args, ix=index: self.clicked.emit(ix))

Oddly enough that class was only used in a transitional iteration of the plugin and is not used anymore. I forgot to delete it before releasing the zip file. I deleted it now so it should not be a problem in the future.

Hello capink
I would like to thank you, because thanks to your code I was able to create my plugin Mass Search/Replace .
It is only designed for Search and Replace operations (and therefore much less complex than yours), but I hope it does it well.

Thank you again, you cleared the way by extracting the Search/Replace module, and without you it wouldn't exist.

Glad it helped you

. Mine too was based on work of others, mainly the work of the plugin wizard AKA kiwidude.

Small exchange of good process:
I discover a bug in the test result field of "Search and Replace" module.

https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=335440

Moreover in your code there is a #FIXME: THE PROBLEM IS HERE, but I think it was rather the opposite: s_r_do_regexp() has the expected behavior, is the test result field in s_r_paint_results() which is not valid.

Thanks for the fix. Will incorporate into my code.

The "#FIXME: THE PROBLEM IS HERE" was in reference to what I thought was a bug, but turned out to be difference in behavior between python2 and python3. I have removed that comment in the latest version.

I use the Job Spy tool: Import CSV File to Update Metadata, with several csv files.
Once the corresponding Calibre Action has been created, is there a possibility to tell it which file to open?

capink · 12-12-2020, 08:30 AM

I just installed the JS plugin and unfortunately the answer is no as this is part of the workflow of the plugin. But I am curious as to why you want to bypass this, as it will still pop up a dialog afterwards, so it will always be an interactive step.

I maintain the Import List plugin that has similar functionality, I will look if there is something that can done there (through custom actions), but I am not so sure. The problem is that matching the books is always an interactive step even if we pre-define the csv file. The advantage in the import list is that it allows for predefined settings, but you will still have to deal with the plugin wizard after the settings are applied

ownedbycats · 12-12-2020, 02:27 PM

I'm assuming that jbacelar always uses the same fileset.

EDIT: Unless I'm misunderstanding.

So is.

Running an pre-configured import csv action is something I might use myself, so I will be looking at it as soon as I have the time to do so (maybe next weekend).

If done, it will use the Import List plugin since that is what I use and its the code-base I am familiar with.
