not working for me: has change environment variable in user and added portable path in PATH as proposed by alutian.

@jemsoo7:

As proposed by me, did you update your Environment Variables that generic Python uses to force temporary files to go where you want them to go? Especially TMPDIR, since that is the first place it tries before moving down its list of places to check.

The default directory is chosen from a platform-dependent list, but the user of the application can control the directory location by setting the TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP environment variables

Python searches a standard list of directories to find one which the calling user can create files in. The list is:

• The directory named by the TMPDIR environment variable.
• The directory named by the TEMP environment variable.
• The directory named by the TMP environment variable.

• A platform-specific location:
  On Windows, the directories C:\TEMP, C:\TMP, \TEMP, and \TMP, in that order.

• On all other platforms, the directories /tmp, /var/tmp, and /usr/tmp, in that order.

• As a last resort, the current working directory.

Hmm... this is definitely something with the drive... have tried numerous permutation of renaming TMPDIR, TEMP, TMP environment variables to the drive the portable version is located or the default %SystemRoot%\TEMP, TMP etc but not successful. However if i move either of the portable folders on the C:\ DRIVE, BOTH version of portable works fine....

Man, its not a problem, i can manage with it,

Your plugins are SOOOOO great that this is no inconvenience to me! Thanks anyway for your GREAT WORK!

@jems007:


CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR is used by Calibre for its temporary file directory, and TMPDIR et al are used by generic Python for its temporary file directory.

CALIBRE_TEMP_DIR must be consistent with TMPDIR.

Since c:\temp and c:\tmp are specifically searched by generic Python on Windows platforms, if you do not otherwise use them, then they should be deleted. That frees Python to find a generic \temp or \tmp on your USB drive.

Per the Python documentation:

The default directory is chosen from a platform-dependent list, but the user of the application can control the directory location by setting the TMPDIR, TEMP or TMP environment variables

Python searches a standard list of directories to find one which the calling user can create files in. The list is:

The directory named by the TMPDIR environment variable.
The directory named by the TEMP environment variable.
The directory named by the TMP environment variable.

A platform-specific location:
On Windows, the directories C:\TEMP, C:\TMP, \TEMP, and \TMP, in that order.

On all other platforms, the directories /tmp, /var/tmp, and /usr/tmp, in that order.

As a last resort, the current working directory.

Version 1.0.17 - 2016-02-13 New: ISSN Extraction from Magazine/Periodical PDFs for use in deriving DDC, LOC, etc.

Optionally extracts ISSNs from PDFs for Magazines and Periodicals. The other LC functionality then may be executed for the PDFs for which ISSNs were extracted.

Version 1.0.20 - 2016-03-21 New: Updating of #genre (or any other text custom column) by mapping the DDC or LCC to Table _lc_genre_mapping, which is automatically seeded with over 2,470 DDC-to-genre rows.

See the attached images.

The new menu option to import a csv file to add/change mapping rules can be used to easily personalize the mappings as you desire. The template csv file with over 2,470 mappings is attached to the original post.

Example:

Version 1.0.21 - 2016-03-22 Enhanced LCC to Genre mapping logic, plus added a corresponding template CSV file.

The new CSV file is attached to the Original Post, and can be imported just as for DDCs.

LCC codes may exist simultaneously with DDC codes in the LC to Genre mapping table as their structures are completely different.

To help future people... despite the OSX commandline stuff all working fine, this plugin wouldn't correctly run the commands. I'd get errors when I clicked on the button to create the columns. Running calibre via commandline, I did get the commands it was trying to run, and running them manually worked fine:

calibredb add_custom_column --library-path="/path/to/library" ddc DDC text
calibredb add_custom_column --library-path="/path/to/library" lcc LCC text
calibredb add_custom_column --library-path="/path/to/library" --is-multiple lcead "LC Extra Author Details" text
calibredb add_custom_column --library-path="/path/to/library" oclc_owi OCLC_OWI text

@scruffy:

The Python 2.7 'subprocess' module that LC uses to submit calibredb via spawning OS subprocesses has many issues with OSX (and Linux) that are not fixed until Python 3.4. There are workarounds in Python 2.7, but Apple hardware is required to test those workarounds. I have only Windows.

If you have any issues whatsoever running calibredb in LC, you should simply create the custom columns manually.

Thank you for this plugin. Just what I was looking for. I was wondering if there is an easy way (copy+paste) to generate a custom "ddc-genre.csv" file with needed ddc-genre tags e.g. "320.234242","..."?
Thanks

@friedman:

Sure. Just download the DDC-to-Genre mapping csv file that I attached to the Original Post just for that purpose: lc_genre_mapping_csv.txt. Change it as you wish, then use the LC menu option to import it into LC for the current Calibre library.

By the way, the one below it is for LCC instead of DDC.

If you need a resource to tell you what the codes mean, then this is the best that I have found: http://www.librarything.com/mds/32
which draws from the Open Source https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Jo...master/fdc.txt

Thanks for the great plugin. I can get everything to work fine except for Genres. I have followed the instructions (downloaded the lc_genre_mapping_csv and imported it). I have created a Genre column

I've attached images of my settings.

When I derive the library codes everything is updated except the genre column which remains blank. Just wondering whether there is something fundamental that I am doing wrong?

Many thanks
