Unnecessary conversion

Helsing · 08-26-2010, 08:24 PM

Readee have support according to its manual for a lot of formats;
PDF, CHM, EPUB, TXT, TM, HTML, RTF, DB, DJVU,
DJV, iw44, iw4, FB2, OEB, PRC, MOBI, TCR, OPF

If I try to send a chm-file with Calibre it ask me if I want to convert to ePub.
I can copy them manually and they work as they are.

Is there a possibility to tell Calibre which format it should not convert?

WHat device does calibre detect your reader as?

It correctly detect it as Spectra.

Looking for SPECTRA
(1317, 42149, 786, 'Linux 2.6.18.2 with s3c2410_udc', 'File-backed Storage Gadget', '3238204E6F76')
Devices possibly connected: Spectra,
Trying to open Spectra ... OK

OK I've added CHM to the list of supported formats.

Thanx! That was fast.

I found the lines you changed in the code;
FORMATS = ['epub', 'mobi', 'fb2', 'lit', 'prc', 'chm', 'djvu', 'pdf', 'rtf', 'txt']

I haven't tried everyone but I know that "lit" doesn't work.
I have a lit-book that open's in calibre's viewer so it's not protected.

In my first submission I had copied from the manual, and "lit" isn't there.
Is there short testfiles of every type so I can test my reader properly?

You can disable any format by customizing the plugin via Preferences->Advanced->Device interface plugins

As for test files, you can use calibre to create simple files in most of the formats

Can I add a format to a device plugin?

I have the iriver Story and would like to add djvu files, which are (somewhat) supported by the device for some time now.
