Good to know. I am testing version 2.0.6 right now, which fixes the series-like index problem. I will upload it soon. DaltonST |

Version 2.0.6 - Index for Series-Like Custom Columns
Version 2.0.6 - 2015-12-18 Consolidation now properly updates the index for Series-Like custom columns.
Also, the OP was changed to say that all Windows 7 CALM users must run Calibre from a shortcut with 'administrator' rights due to UAC problems when CALM is executing calibredb as operating system subprocesses. Previously, it stated that only 'standard' users had to do so. Empirical evidence has proven otherwise. DaltonST |

Thank you. Using 2.0.6 my series-like custom column index values are updated properly.
Question - You have predefined a CALM column formats_source with the count of source formats. Is there a way to also get the format types? That is for me to create a CALM library custom column containing the source formats type names (i.e. "epub, mobi") - while understanding that those formats are not actually in the CALM library? Question - While a book cover is technically not metadata is there a way to add a custom column to the CALM library for cover status? That is: at least a binary Y/N if a cover exists or even better maybe containing the cover resolution (nnnXnnn). Again, think you very much for this awesome plugin and your other plugins. Roland |

Version 2.0.7 - New 'Standard' Target Library Custom Column: #source_format_types
Version 2.0.7 - 2015-12-23 New 'Standard' CALM Target Library Custom Column: #source_format_types.
The CALM Template Target Library used to 'refresh' has been updated to always show that new Standard Custom Column, and to also color that column 'blue'. Unless you start with a clean slate, you will have to update View Manager and the Look&Feel color rules yourself. Attached are example rules for both. Obviously, only CALM Target Libraries that you create starting with Version 2.0.7 will have the new 'Standard' Custom Column. If you are still Consolidating legacy CALM Target Libraries, a Consolidation log message will state that the new column does not exist, so cannot be updated. DaltonST |

When I change to CALM library or I refresh the library view, I get the following message:
And these are the details: Spoiler:
So, calibre doesn't change properly to the library. I'm merging two libraries, and I have one selected custom column and each of them, which is text with fixed values. |

Version 2.0.8 - New 'Standard' CALM Target Library Custom Column: #source_cover
Version 2.0.8 - 2015-12-24 New 'Standard' CALM Target Library Custom Column: #source_cover.
The CALM Template Target Library used to 'refresh' has been updated to always show that new Standard Custom Column. Unless you start with a clean slate, you will have to update View Manager yourself. #source_cover is a Yes/No custom column indicating whether the book has a cover in its original Source Library. Obviously, there are no covers in a CALM Target Library, just as there are no formats and no .opf files. DaltonST |

I've read it but, as I haven't added composite custom columns, I had not associated it. I've "cleaned" the library, left the two same columns I had before and it works, thank you.

Hi.
I am trying to use the plugin but I must have been doing something wrong, cause I can't select the custom columns. I select the source libraries I want to use and click the save button. Then I try to ' Get All Source Library/Custom Column Combinations' but it gives me an error saying there is no source library selected. How can I solve this? |

C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\calibre\plugins\Consolid ate All Library Metadata.json
Quote:
@saluli: You didn't give me much to work on, so there are only two reasons that I can think of: [1] You are using Calibre Portable, so CALM cannot find this file: "C:\Users\Saluli\AppData\Roaming\calibre\plugins\C onsolidate All Library Metadata.json" (the odd space in 'Consolidate' is always added by mobilread.com after saving, since a path is so very long...) Calibre Portable does not play well with many plug-ins, including CALM, unless the user jumps through hoops with several Calibre-specific environment variables. I refer you to the Calibre Portable documentation, as well as to other posts on that topic in this forum. [2] You are using a "normal" Calibre, but did not first Refresh the Target Library on the Target Library Tab before going to the Source Custom Columns Tab. Remember that CALM is an add-on, not just a plug-in, and the Target Library is a very special metadata.db that also comes with a special metadata_tools.db file. Normally, you would first configure using the Target Library Tab, then the Source Library Tab, and then the Source Custom Columns Tab. DaltonST |

I will admit I'm quite surprised at two things here
a) the requirment to launch calibre as ADMINISITRATOR b) the statement that many plugins don't work with calibre portable Can you point me to examples please (especially of the second)? I will admit I installed Portable and CALM and it appeared to work. Do remember that if you DO use portable, you do NOT run the calibre command; rather you launch calibre-portable.exe |

CALM spawns operating system subprocesses that Windows 7 UAC stops dead unless the Calibre has been started as an Administrator. Library Codes does the same thing. There was no statement that "many plugins don't work with calibre portable". The statement was exactly: Quote:
Personally, I have never used Calibre Portable at all, and have no idea how to install or use it. DaltonST |

I never changed ANY environment variables. I merely ran Portable as it was intended to run.

@DaltonST - I can appreciate that testing your PI's under OS/X or Linux isn't easy without extra hardware and/or perhaps configuring virtual machines.
But Calibre Portable runs on Windows, perhaps you're not aware that it can reside on the same machine as an installed version of Calibre for Windows and they will operate quite independently of one another, different libraries, different configuration data (hence plugins and their data). The user does NOT have to change any environment settings or jump through any other hoops - all they have to do is to run calibre-portable.exe from wherever they put it. The only 'limitation' is that you can't run Calibre Portable and Calibre Installed concurrently - but that's because of Calibre's 'single-instance' restriction, nothing to do with Portable per se. I suggest you 'install' portable and check it out, its a self extracting .exe that unpacks to whatever location you nominate. It could be a thumb drive; anywhere but Program Files or Program Files(x86) ![]() BR |
