New Test Version
2022-09-08 - Fix for 'Corrupted Config file' on Add Setting. I thought it was an interaction between Add and Save, but it was just Add. 2022-09-07 - Move where GC puts temporary files during setting Import/Export to plugins/generate_cover instead of resources/images/generate_cover. - Include file name when warning about image file overwrite. It would be better if GC used a proper temp file, but the JSONConfig class it uses insists on something relative to the calibre settings dir. 2022-08-30 - Move where GC stores cover images from resources/images/generate_cover to plugins/generate_cover Attached version uses the new dir and does a one-time copy(not move) of configured images from resources/images/generate_cover to plugins/generate_cover. Tested with Calibre 2, 5 & 6, but only on Win10. I don't have mac or linux available to test with right now. I did try to use a cross-platform safe method. UPDATE: Test version removed pending review. May be going in a different direction with the resources/images/generate_cover move. Last edited by JimmXinu; 09-14-2022 at 12:51 PM. |

Never mind I found out it was some cover image error. Sorry to bother. Last edited by madame_newbie; 09-30-2022 at 01:50 PM. |

I'm re-generating covers for a bunch of my books. For certain individual books, I might need to tweak the font size. (SomeFanficAuthorsHaveLongNamesWithNoSpaces.)
Every time I do this, it prompts me to save the current profile. If I press 'discard,' it reverts before generating the cover. So I have to keep clicking "don't save yet" and then re-open the dialog to revert. Could perhaps a "use, then discard" button work here? Last edited by ownedbycats; 11-07-2022 at 03:36 AM. |

Another thing: the GC option to populate a column doesn't work when the generate_cover_for_book() method is called in FFF. I'm not sure if this is intended or not.

Currently there is: - "Save Changes" (generate with new settings, save the changes) - "Discard Changes" (generate with reverted settings, discarded changes) - "Don't Save Yet" (generate with new settings, don't save the changes) I think Discard Changes in it's current form is redundant if I added a Cancel button. As there is already a Revert option on the main dialog. And maybe "Don't Save Yet" needs to sleep with the fishes in favour of this new option. You either made temporary changes you want to discard, or if you are wanting to keep either this iteration or some subsequent tweak to it then just go ahead and Save the changes. So including your suggestion I think the options a user needs to have (ignoring how they get represented in the UI for the moment)... - Generate cover, saving changes - Generate cover, discard changes afterwards - Cancel Thoughts? |

Yes, that sounds good - i also noticed the lack of a 'cancel' option but forgot to mention it.

I would have to shuffle some code around to make it work for both scenarios, can put it on the list. |

So the only question now becomes what do we call the three buttons? "Apply & Save" or "Save Changes" or ... "Apply & Revert" or "Revert After" or ... "Cancel" |

"Apply & Save/Revert" reads a little clearer to me.

Good - for now, I just have the action chain I run on newly-downloaded fanfics set to let me manually fill it.

Any feedback on this dialog in terms of better names for the buttons?
Don't want to irritate the translators by renaming them constantly... |

also, for future reference: Is it bad practice to edit the images directly in \AppData\calibre\plugins\Generate Cover\?
I did it a few days ago without any problems, though I restarted Calibre afterwards (not sure exactly what point the plugin loads the images in). |
