[GUI Plugin] WordDumb

[Apocalipso]

Hi, first of all thanks for the great work on this plugin. Unfortunately I have a problem with the X-ray file, when I select a character it shows fragments of the book where that character is mentioned, but it doesn't show any info about the character like a quick description or who he is. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks in advance.

That is what happens when wikipedia or fandom (whichever is configured to be used) does not have an entry or it wasn't found. You can supply your own description for individual characters in a config file. It has been so long since I learned how, that I have forgotten the details, but you can read about it in this thread and probably in the documentation. You can even list aliases for the character and make one of them something likely to be found in wikipedia or fandom.

why does it need to install en_core_web_lg each time i try to generate x-ray file?
Installing it the first time is okay but... Is there a work around or am i doing it wrong.

generating x-ray for a 40mb file itself takes a lot less time than it takes to install en_core.

Also why cant i stop the job/process half way? Only ending process or disconnecting internet makes it stop.

EDIT:
I think although it says installing en_core_web_lg, is it actually generating x-ray?

Maybe you're using strange user name and also on Windows or something that makes code at here https://github.com/xxyzz/WordDumb/bl...eps.py#L30-L34

always delete previous installed packages?

The code run some new Python processes and can't be killed properly, kill the main calibre process will kill these processes.

I generated word wise for an italian book. Definition language was set to italian but the word wise result on kindle was in english. Any idea why?

[perisiana]

Is it possible to make WordWise and X-ray work on the Kindle android app like it works on the Kindle e-readers?

Edit, found it

I saw you can do mediawiki sites, but I want to do a fandom site (forgotten realms). Anyone know of a way?

Hi @xxyzz,
Mac silicon M1 with latest Sonoma os version, latest Calibre and Plugin as well, of course.

When trying to create X-Ray, conversion breaks at the "Installing Spacy" step.

I'd be saving you from the 700+ error lines, hoping this would help you diagnose:

Starting job: Generating X-Ray for [book title here] 
Job: "Generating X-Ray for [book title here]" failed with error:

Python 3.13.0, pip 24.2 duly installed.

Any help you could offer would be most, most welcome - thank you in advance, and for this fab Plugin of yours!!

spacy doesn't support Python 3.13, please downgrade to 3.12.

I also added this to the document website.

Fandom.com also uses mediawiki, but you need to find their API endpoint, please see the doc: https://xxyzz.github.io/WordDumb/usage.html

Thank you, it worked back fine!

For anyone else who'd have my same setup, what I did:

1. since I've got python through home-brew, I downgraded versions as follows:

brew unlink python@3.13
brew unlink python@3.12
brew link --force python@3.12

2. once done I still got an error (outdated python version), but by adding the python path as follows in the WordDumb Preferences panel, I've got it all sorted:

/Users/steve/.pyenv/versions/3.12.7/bin/python

Very pleased to have it back up, and working: Thank You again, @xxyzz!

No need to downgrade the default Python version in your system, the code can't detect the default binary on macos anyway. Users only need to install python@3.12 formula then copy its file path to the plugin settings.

I had seen that page before. I can't seem to find the API page, but I signed into the wiki and was able to find "Special:ApiSandbox"... not sure if there is a way to use that?

[xxyzz]

It could be "https://x.fandom.com/api.php", you can check this url in browser. You could also just ask the wiki admin.

[carterartist]

Yes, I tried that.

I was just hoping I wasn't the only Forgotten Realms nerd and maybe someone had a solution.
