Changing Title & Author in LRF?

fleon · 01-13-2007, 10:25 AM

Sorry if this has been asked before, I didn't notice it.

I've got some LRF files that I converted from LIT files. Is there any way now to alter the Title and Author properties?

Thanks!

http://libprs500.kovidgoyal.net has a lrf-meta command.

I've tried to use this tool, but I receive errors with every book I've tried. It always outputs:

L:\Public\Books>lrf-meta Walden.lrf
Classification: å£°
Creator: makelrf v0.3
FreeText: This book was generated by a preliminary version of makelrf.
Category: Traceback (most recent call last):

return codecs.charmap_encode(input,errors,encoding_map)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'charmap' codec can't encode characters in position 1-2: character maps to <undefined>

Your mileage may vary.

Send me the lrf file on which it fails and I will fix it. You can attach the file to a forum post.

Actually, I've only spent an hour looking into it, and I now believe that it might be how they were created. I'm going to try and continue experiementing. I've attached the file as requested.

It was a windows specific bug. Fixed in 0.3.3.
easy_install -U libprs500

Works like a champ!

Thanks so much!

Could you post the file in the forum? I'm in Brazil right now, and my internet just hangs on some sites for some reason.

Thanks for the info, btw.

It requires python 2.5. So you'll have to download that as well. You'll also need the installation instructions from libprs500.kovidgoyal.net
