[GUI Plugin] Quality Check

It is also available in bulk search/replace as a post-process function, and is a template function.

Just used the Check Title Case function and it worked brilliantly.

A trick for young players though. First I ran the Check Title Sort and fixed those, then I ran Check Title Case and Fixed those. I then had to go and fix all the Title Sort's as when the Title Case made the corrections it didn't fix the Title Sort.

To get around this on the next batch I ran the Title Case in Bulk Edit and then "Apply" followed immediately by the Title Sort, "Apply" and then "OK".

Small glitch when running "Check and fix book size".
The check seems to work (dialog box saying everything's ok) , I click "OK" and I have this message :

calibre, version 0.7.53
ERROR: Exception non gérée: <b>TypeError</b>:'int' object is not iterable

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calibre_plugins.quality_check.action", line 379, in check_and_update_file_sizes
TypeError: 'int' object is not iterable

Fixes bug from Bertrand above in check & fix file sizes where no matches found.

[Bertrand]

That was fast, thanks.
Updated and working nicely.

Changes in this release:

• Support skinning of icons by putting them in a plugin name subfolder of local resources/images

Go a bug with cleanup function:


calibre, version 0.7.54
ERROR: Exceptie niet opgevangen: <b>NameError</b>:global name 'error_dialog' is not defined

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre_plugins.quality_check.action", line 427, in cleanup_opf_folders
NameError: global name 'error_dialog' is not defined

Ugh, more leftovers from the 1.3 code rewrite. Let me count the ways I hate Python and it's lack of proper compilation checking.

I'll push a new release in a couple of minutes. That error you were about to get displayed was that you were about to point to your own Calibre library. This is a BAD thing to be doing (in fact the plugin wouldn't let you). If I did let you, it would erase any empty book entries you had and hence affect your Calibre database integrity.

[kiwidude]

Changes in this release:

• Fix error dialog bug when try to cleanup opf files in own Calibre directory.

[drMerry]

Thank you very much for quick response.

In fact, I was trying to remove empty dirs, dirs with only jpg / opf in my lib to make a cleen library (and yes, without my empty entries.

But it was a combination of testing the option and cleaning. I've other tools to clean this for me.
But thank you for making clear why this is (in other cases) a bad thing to do!
(And great you have build in a function to check this behavior before acting!)

Changes in this release:

• Add check duplicate ISBN option

This will find all books that have duplicate ISBN values. To manage the results you will must likely find it necessary to add a custom isbn column to your view to both display and then sort on. You can do this using Preferences->Add your own columns.

Hi Kiwidude:

Would it be possible for a future release to be able to configure the plugin for the user to "hide" features from the menu that they do not use? The menu is getting pretty full and if there are some features the user does not use, he/she can minimize the menu??

[kiwidude]

Hi Nyn,

That's a perfectly sensible suggestion. I wonder if it is better to hide them, or give you the option of moving them to an "Other" submenu so they are still available in case they are just rarely used.

Though I know a number of the options are fairly mutually exclusive though - for instance a user who hates book jackets is not going to be using the "Check books without jackets". Or if you don't care about html comments you will want both options gone and never use them. Maybe hiding is the best option.

Check File_size:

Spoiler:

calibre, version 0.7.54
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>TypeError</b>:coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "calibre_plugins.quality_check.action", line 410, in check_and_update_file_sizes
File "calibre_plugins.quality_check.action", line 179, in check_all_files
File "calibre_plugins.quality_check.action", line 399, in evaluate_book
File "genericpath.py", line 18, in exists
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

How do I figure out which book tripped this: Checking 369 of 2472
Is this the book ID#

[kiwidude]

Hmmm, you can't unless you use the version attached to this post. Run in debug and it should hopefully give you the book id and title.

The most likely cause I can think of for that is some sort of corruption, perhaps a file locked or something. Does Check Library show any issues?
