A Tale of Two Cities (No identifiers for selected download sources)

I clicked the same button for all PDFs, so I don't know why some PDFs would invoke a download attempt and others wouldn't.

I found out what is problem. I also had that error. You have to update metadata also for goodreads ids. Soo, Calibre use this link for accessing book on goodreads http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/{book id} and that id is different than ISBN, so in metadata Ids you need that goodread:{id} value. For downloading metadata from goodreads I use [Metadata Source Plugin] Goodreads

Often the plugin counts wrong (thousands of pages) and I have to restart Calibre several times until it counts correctly.

Most times someone has reported this it turns out the columns for the page and word counts have been changed. The only reason I have found why seems to be related to removing a column. But, I have never seen it to test. Next time it happens, can you check the plugins configuration?

Otherwise, I would need a debug log to see what is happening. If it happens, and you can run calibre in debug mode and reproduce it, that would help.

how can i get spaces between thousands in the Word Count Column?
123 456
instead of:
123456

I didn't change the column for page count since I've created it. Yes, I'll see to get a report next time.

Enter a valid format specifier in the custom column definition, you get a link to the format specs if the column type is Integer.

IIRC getting non-anglo formats is a PITA, you have to format with comma, replace commas with spaces, and then replace the dot with a comma.

sorry but that python is too complicated for me
can someone just give me that right format for my request pls?
I need that "format specifier in the custom column definition"

if it makes task easier
123,456
or
123.456
are also good options

anyone?

This is what I have:

{:,}

And for those of us who use non-anglo formats:

{:n}

A small pedantic correction...

That basically means, "use the separator defined by the current locale". It is probably the best suggestion to use generally as it should work in most circumstances. But, getting a non-standard formats for the locale other than a comma, seems to be hard. I couldn't work it our when I saw this the other day. The simplest thing I could think of was to use a custom column with the formatting in the template.

I played with this earlier today on Windows 10 and was able to get a space by changing the o/s level number formatting option to seperate groups of numbers by a space

Thanks from those whose native language is not English.

And it is not a correction at all, it is simply a contribution for others that can be useful.

I use it regularly, and it has always worked perfectly for me.

If you mean using "{:n}" works, then that is what I would expect. But, what I meant is that if you don't want to use the locale default, you can use a comma easily, but, getting any other character is hard. Or at least I couldn't work out how to do it without writing extra code.

But, if you have a simple way to do this, then I would be interested in seeing it.
