![]() The challenge I see with that particular feature (which I agree would be useful) is how to handle a user moving a row that they have locked/assigned a particular series number on. You also have to handle the situation of a user moving "too many" rows before that assigned value such that the numbering overlaps. A visual warning on screen may suffice like an icon with a tooltip on such rows. Not insurmountable problems though - and as you have suggested a useful addition for those who don't create empty books. |

Moving files marked read on reader to a read folder
I use a custom column for marking books I have read. My reader uses folders and currently my folders are
Ebooks/{authors[0]}/{authors}/{series}/{series_index:0>2s} - {title} now when I mark a book as read in calibre I want to be able to send it to Ebooks/Read/{authors[0]}/{authors}/{series}/{series_index:0>2s} - {title} |

Mark book to be send to device on next connect
Hi Kiwidude,
First of all thanks for you currently slew of plugins, nice work!. As the title suggests a plugin which would do that would be great for some people. Saw a question in the Frequently Asked Questions thread by ArmorDog and quite liked the idea. Question was: -- Is there a way to flag books to transfer when the reader is next connected? Often, when working in Calibre, I don't have my reader hooked up. When I finish fixing up a book, I'd like to flag it to be copied to the reader when it's next connected. -- I used something like it while I downloaded the NRC epub using a script and used a bit of python code to set the News flag for the imported epub. This has the effect that on next connect of my reader it was automatically sent to it. This is the relevant line: Code:
calibre-debug -c "from calibre.library import db; db=db(); from calibre.utils.config import prefs; ids = db.prefs.get('news_to_be_synced', []); ids.append(%id%); db.prefs.set('news_to_be_synced', ids)" Might have a try at it myself but you're free to grab the idea and beat me to it ![]() Regards, Joop |

Pretty trivial to code up assuming I am thinking the same as you about what it needs to do. Presumably you just want a menu with suboptions allowing you to add a book to the news sync list, and another to remove from it? The only "difficult" part I see is coming up with sexy names for the menu items/plugin and the icons ![]() Is there any configuration required for the plugin? e.g. is this a plugin that needs to have keyboard shortcuts or is its use infrequent enough that a context menu/toolbar action menu is sufficient?

Calibre has added a method of putting page numbers for Kindle books by generating the .APNX file while transferring your book to the Kindle from Calibre. Would somebody be willing to look at developing a plugin that will allow you to save this .APNX file to a harddrive without having to transfer your book from Calibre to the Kindle. This way you can save the .apnx file in a directory together with your .mobi books for those who like to keep their libraries on a harddrive and maintain the page number information.

I wrote the Book Sync plugin implementing this today. Great plugin suggestion, one of those you don't realise how convenient it really is until the idea came up... |

hy @ all,
as discussed in this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=121236 i want to ask if it is possible to make a plugin for the (at the moment) most problematic thing's for me. __________________________ 1: at the moment i want to clear my database from ugly covers (pixel blocks, blurred and so on). right, the jpg is too small in size. My approach is, I'm looking with an external program if some files are less than 40k. if so, take a look in calibre and grab a new cover by hand. Or find covers calibre recognizes as being able to be trimmed it would be much easier if the search for small cover files can be done in calibre. maybe it is set a flag to a new column or so. __________________________ 2: plugin to search for invalid isbn numbers that are marked with a red backround. i have no idea to do it. this is at the moment a hard work by hand. __________________________ 3: search for entrys in: title -> title_sort and author -> author_sort which are not valid and shows the red backround (so they have different entrys) __________________________ if anyone can make this plug-in it would be great! by myself i don't know about this programming things. regards schuster |

@schuster - I do like the idea of being able to track down books that need larger covers or invalid metadata. It could indeed be fairly easily done as a plugin. Does anyone else have any other suggestions for criteria by which they would like to isolate books that isn't available with the current search?
I'll add a couple more plugin ideas here so I don't forget them...

Audiobooks

I have several, that were purchased accidentally, and expect to add data on them to Calibre, but they are actually stored with my Musicmatch 9.0 which makes more sense since it is intended for handling audio. Last edited by ThePage; 03-02-2011 at 09:36 PM. Reason: spelling |

I've apparently been under a false impression for some months, while consolidating 7,000+ books in calibre, from multiple directories (including 4,000+ IMP's), I've not had occasion up to now to work with my existing book-reader, so that I've only just discovered that while I can send a book to my storage card while it's plugged into the computer, I can't do anything else, nor does my reader see the file after I've put the card back into it.
Would it be possible for someone to take the driver used by my dedicated Library software (for the eBookwise) and construct a plug-in for Calibre, allowing of transferring books from one to the other, and would anyone be interested/inclined to do it? I have no doubt, from the quantity of .imp files offered on mobileread, that others would find it of use. Also, see FAQ for my adventures in giving both Library Programs advanced indigestion.
