All good now. Thanks.

Thank you, @capink, for your plugins.

I have some editor chain actions defined and working from the editor, but when I try to get them to run from the action chain plugin nothing happens.

I did get one action to work by defining a new editor chain action in the action chain UI, but nothing happens if I use an event to trigger it. The new editor chain action also does not show up in the editor chain plugin. I don't want to have to maintain two separate definitions.

I just started using the plugins today, so I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong.

Using Calibre 7.13 on an M1 MacBook Air.

Not all editor chains can be run from action chains. This depends on the actions as well as the settings of individual actions. This happens mainly when an action depends on elements of Editor GUI which won't be available when run from Action Chains.

For example, a chain containing an action like "Mark Cursor Tag" will not run at all because that action always depends on elements of the editor GUI, which are not available in Action Chains.

Another example of this, is an action (e.g. Search And Replace), configured with a scope that depends on the editor GUI, e.g. "current file" or "selected files". You can run the same action from Action Chains with a scope that does not depend on the Editor's GUI, e.g. "text files"

Run calibre in debug mode and post the output.

If you want to have only one version, you must define it in the editor. Editor Chains cannot be aware of chains defined outside it.

Got the actions working. I changed to scope to "text files" and it runs when triggered manually. When I tie it to the FanFicFare event I see the action run in the logs, but no changes are made when it is complete. Any ideas?

thx!

Cannot tell exactly without knowing seeing the chains and the files they are acting on.

First question that jumps to mind, does your chain select which books to act on? I don't use FFF plugin myself, so I cannot really help you much with that. I presume the plugin downloads new epubs, in which case you can use "Selection Modifier" action to select books modified since the start of the chain.

Edit: This won't work because the books are modified before the start of the chain. Ask in the FFF thread for help on how to select books.
