IIRC the size shown is the Rounded value of the largest format of the title, not an individual format. |

Something is Wonky
You found something odd
I just ran the latest QC on 9.21 XP SP3 The first pass found 59 titles. I ran it again (no other library activity) and found 6 I ran it again (2 times), it found the same 6 books. All had EPUB (my main format), 1 also had RTF, 2 started as Mobi Some of these (EPUB) were last edited by me months ago. I may have tried 'Polish' on these titles (I tried Polish a few times, with mixed results and went back to Modify EPUB for updating the Jacket/cover) Kiwidude, how does check sizes determine which size to use? My Python reading skills are rock bottom, but the only comparison I saw was to the DB, not to other formats found (I definitely could be wrong , self closing loops gimme a endfor any day ) |

Yes, I only have EPUB in my library, and the size shown doesn't change after execute that option in the books that I know have bad sizes (because I replaced them for better versión directly in the theirs folders, keeping the name of the file)

Simply drag the new version onto the Details section. BE ABSOLUTELY SURE you have the correct book/entry Or into the Formats section if you have the editor open |

As to how it all works, I believe there is a sql subquery run for the size column where it selects the max largest of this size data of the formats for a book when displaying in the gui. You might have cached out of date stuff on screen if you don't get the update you expect possibly. Certainly I haven't seen anything not working as it should to my eyes, or from the code any reason why it shouldn't be behaving correctly. The only one possible thing is that I believe Kovid may have changed the python function he calls to get the size of a file (I am 99% sure I copied his code at the time to ensure when I compare the current value with calibre's value they have the same code to get the same number). He now uses os.stat, whereas my plugin uses os.path.getsize(). You would hope that one is just a wrapper for the other, and certainly on my Windows 7 system it all worked fine...

I edited/split 2 other files that may have changed size a bit, no sign Note: just Now Installed Generate cover PI, restarted Calibre, so we have a fresh C Pass 2: 1 file marked (was one of the 6) Wot! Restarted C Pass 3: same book (at least we are down to one Something is getting cached ) Thanks for looking |

I agree the problem is related with cache.
I started Calibre, and don't doing anything more, run the plugin. The sizes were fixed in eight books. I ran it again... and detects only one book. It can't fix it... and it is the first book in my library... the one that is selected in the moment that Calibre opens. Just to check... I change the "columns to sort the booklist by on startup" that way the first book in the library changes. Restart Calibre, and run de plungin: one book detected. Run again, and all sizes are correct. I use Portable version, on XP SP3. I hope it can help... PS) Theducks, thanks for the advice Last edited by yomismo818; 03-06-2013 at 01:49 PM. |

QualityCheck question?
Hey there! This plugin is a MASSIVE lifesaver. I currently convert 1000 books at a time, so this, coupled with the 'Delete File when adding to Calibre' selection via Add Books go great, especially the 'Check Authors with Commas' which is a MASSIVE timesaver, although I wish that I had known of that before I converted the last 2k books, lmao.
Anyway, I did have a question, however. When searching Metadata for 1000 books, I search via specific fields, like 'Download only Comments' if the comments are missing, but is there a selection to 'Search for Missing Series'? I wasn't able to locate it. Moderator Notice

@dullahir - to search for books that do not have a series associated with them, just type this in the search bar for calibre:
Code:
series:false On the other hand there is on the Check metadata menu the ability to search for series gaps (where you have book 1 and 3 for instance, but appear to be missing a book 2). |

Books that are NOT in a series in my Library: 23%
Don't ask how many of those series are NOT complete |

Ah, thanks for the tip. The reason why I inquire is because a lot of my books are, I have the Forgotten Realms series, and a lot of them have sub-series, Kim Harrison's series, etc. But sometimes I don't remember which books actually come from a series because some of them show up as 'Kim Harrison - The Good, The Bad and the Undead' without a series or number. I guess I just want an intuitive plugin, yanno? Although this is absolutely amazing.
Unrelated, but could someone share with me an expression to add books that includes the series, BUT doesn't mess up authors who have hyphens in their names? For example: (?P<author>[^_-]+) -?\s*(?P<series>[^_0-9-]*)(?P<series_index>[0-9]*)\s*-\s*(?P<title>[^_].+) ? This is the one I am currently using, but, this is just an example. (The author's name does not actually contain a hyphen.) For example, I add something like, "Joyce Carol-Oates - This is a Series 01 - This is the title.epub" to the testing window, and it comes out as Title: Oates - This is a Series 01 - This is a Title Author: Joyce Series: Carol I've wanted to use [This is a Series] to separate series stuff so that these things don't happen, but I'm not entirely sure how to add brackets to the above key sequence. I'm sure it's possible, but I've not yet figured out how to do it yet lol. Because if I do, it would say: Title: [The Hollows Book 01] - Dead Witch Walking Authors: Kim Harrison If I leave out the hyphens: Title: Kim Harrison [The Hollows Book 01] Dead Witch Walking Author: Unknown Series: None |

Does this plugin have an option to find author and series variation.

The Find Duplicates plugin has features to do exactly that, look at the drop down menu on it for Find Metadata Variations...
