Hi Meme:
The latest update is running very well, one small thing. When I select the view report link after the collections have been completed, nothing happens. |

I just got my Kindle yesterday (after years with a Sony), and was bemoaning the lack of collections from Calibre, which I loved on the Sony. No sooner had I complained (elsewhere) that I was pointed (thanks trlowley) to this plug-n. This thing is AWESOME! Thank you very much!
So I created collections with Series and Tags, and all was great. But, when I try to do them based on author or author_sort, I get this error: calibre, version 0.7.44 ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>error</b>:unexpected end of regular expression Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Documents and Settings\eddyj\Application Data\calibre\plugins\Create Kindle Collections.zip\create_kindle_collections_code.py" , line 1470, in preview_activated File "C:\Documents and Settings\eddyj\Application Data\calibre\plugins\Create Kindle Collections.zip\create_kindle_collections_code.py" , line 1211, in create_kindle_collections_gui_preview File "C:\Documents and Settings\eddyj\Application Data\calibre\plugins\Create Kindle Collections.zip\create_kindle_collections_code.py" , line 668, in create_kindle_collections_main File "C:\Documents and Settings\eddyj\Application Data\calibre\plugins\Create Kindle Collections.zip\create_kindle_collections_code.py" , line 429, in keep_existing_collections File "C:\Documents and Settings\eddyj\Application Data\calibre\plugins\Create Kindle Collections.zip\create_kindle_collections_code.py" , line 277, in check_pattern File "re.py", line 137, in match File "re.py", line 245, in _compile error: unexpected end of regular expression I suspect maybe I have something weird in one of my author names, but before I start going crazy reviewing hundreds of books, I figured I's ask first if this is something easy to diagnose. |

OK, it broke because some of my author fields had a semi-colon in them. Once I removed those, it worked fine.

Started playing with this and it seems to be working pretty well, with one exception. I want to exclude collections for tags enclosed by brackets []. I've tried using [.*] but it fails to exclude those tags (e.g., a tag like [test]). Other exclusions seem to work, but I think it's not recognizing the brackets correctly.
You actually use this as an example in the instructions, although for the general "do not overwrite" collections field, not the individual column exclusion field. |

Okay, so I'm an idiot - I installed the plugin and didn't back up the collections.json file. Despite the fact that I haven't actually created anything yet (just ran the preview file) when I hit the "preview without saving collections" button I get:
calibre, version 0.7.44 ERROR: Create Kindle Collections plugin: Unable to open Kindle file: E:\system\collections.jso When I look in the actual Kindle folder it doesn't even have a "system" folder, let alone the collections.jso file. Does anyone have any suggestions? Feel free to call me a n00b for not backing it up! |

Version 1.3.2 uploaded
Thanks for reporting this - and identifying it was a book. In the latest version 1.3.2 I added code to check for additional invalid book formats in order to print a warning and not exist. Hopefully this will identify the book with the issue so you can reconvert it.

I've added ; to my author names and it works fine. Odd. Newest 1.3.2 version now does some addition checks on patterns so it might pick up this error and give a warning. Can you test it with one original ; author name to see if it helps?

You need to put a "\" before the "[" and the "]" since the brackets are special regex pattern characters, so use "\[.*\]". I've updated the examples, added a note on patterns, and a tooltip in the GUI about it. Patterns can be confusing - but to get their benefit also means some confusion. |

Windows is hiding the directory from you since it doesn't trust you (well, not you in particular ) Depending on your version of Windows, go to the control panel under Appearances, change Folder options, and make sure the settings allow showing hidden files AND showing system files. Unfortunately the "system" directory is seen as a system file and needs the second option as well. I've added a note about this in first post, so thanks. |

Quite frankly I wouldn't trust me on a computer either . I can see the system folder but still no collections.jso - I'm running Vista and have turned off the "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)". Any further thoughts? Thanks! |

Have you actually used collections on your Kindle before? If you have, then the file should exist. If not, then there won't be a file to backup. Disconnect your Kindle, then go to the Sort by Collections view to check, or just pick a book and add it to a fake collection - that should force the file to get created - then you can reconnect and check. |
