Koreader Highlights utility

[Frenzie]

I'll give it a go sometime soon!

(Command-line is much much much easier than GUI, I think.)

[embryo]

@Frenzie I compiled some Linux binaries with PyInstaller on Xubuntu 16.04 x86/x64.

Edit: Uploaded them officially ;o)

They should run in the newer versions (I check them with 17.04 and 18.04), but I don't have any other systems to check them on.

Because I know nothing about Linux distributions and their compatibility, can you (and anybody with a working Linux system) please check them and tell me if they work, so I could release them along the windows build?

Working here on a Ubuntu 18.04 VM (x64).

What is the ldd? (Linux ignorandus..)
Edit: Read about it, ok, thanks.

That is a BeautifulSoup import missing, but its not needed with KoHighlights.

Thanks for testing..

It works on my Debian, but that's a pretty bad test given that I already installed all the prerequisites.

If it works on the Ubuntu 17.04 and 18.04 LiveCDs compatibility should generally be decent enough. You could also check Fedora, which tends to be the most aggressive in unexpectedly not shipping "standard" libraries.

Just to give you an example (wholly irrelevant to you of course ;-) ), see here.

Tried with a Fedora LiveCD and it was running (kind of, except that it didn't find the default font config or something and used a fixed width courier-like font for everything) but I could not create a VM from it to really test it.
The ready made ones I found from osboxes.org were not working also.
Enough time invested..

• Updated to v0.9.0.0
  • Option to export highlights in HTML format.
  • Linux binaries now support the command-line interface.
  • Fixed: The sorting direction (ascending-descending) sometimes was not saved.

[embryo]

• Updated to v0.9.1.0
  • Code refactoring.
  • Fixed: Comments in highlights with more than one paragraphs could not get changed.

[embryo]

• Updated to v1.0.0.0

  • The user interface has 2 modes now ("Loaded" and "Archived"). In any of these modes we can view the highlights using two views: as rows of "Books" or as rows of "Highlights".

I might but just straight Python works for me.

Hi,
I installed the newer version (the 1.2.2 one using the Qt framework (PySide)) but it shows nothing, I mean there isn't a visual display (window) or anything, but I know it is open because in the Task Manager the process is running and consuming RAM.

So I unistalled it and then I installed the 1.1.0 version but the issue persisted. So I unistalled it, and this time I downloaded the original KoHighlights (using the wxPython) version 0.1.6 and it worked! However, I want the 1.2.2 to use the more recent features.

So my question is, what do I need to do (or check) in order to get the last version working properly? That meaning being able to view and interact with the program's window.

My PC has Windows 7 Ultimate Service pack 1. Thank you in advance.

This is very strange..
Is there anything written in the "C:\Users\USER NAME\AppData\Roaming\KoHighlights\error_log_2020-xx-xx.txt" (xx-xx is month-day)?
Unfortunately, KOHighlights does not have a proper logging system..

There seems to be some problem with the PySide in your system.
I'm using Win7x64 SP1 myself.
Do you use the x86 version?

Another thing you can try is to install another app of mine (e.g. KataLib), that also uses the PySide library, to see how it goes.

Multiple displays? HiDPI?

(I'm thinking geometry issues, the window spawning OOB-ish or on the wrong screen).
