[GUI Plugin] Check Books
Check Books allows you to check your library books with ACE and EPUBCheck. Unlike the ACE/EPUBCheck Editor Plugins, this one works in the main calibre interface, so you can save the result and reports to custom columns.

Was responding to a message in another thread and reminded me that when I tried installing Check Book, I could never get the customization dialog to run. calibre just hung on a spinning cursor.
I just retried it today and with calibre 5.43, Windows 11 Pro x64, still no joy until I installed node.js and ace from Daisy's ACE installation page. Perhaps that should be part of the documentation. Last edited by DNSB; 05-29-2022 at 09:56 PM. |

That's odd. I can't replicate this issue. The config dialog is not tied to Node.js or ACE installation in any way. The only check made when opening it for the first time is related to EPUBCheck: it checks if your Java is 32 or 64 bits. This check is made only once. It may cause a small delay when opening the config dialog for the first time. But it's just couple of seconds, anyway. Now, about Node.js and ACE installation requirement. I'll add this to thread. Thanks for noticing it. Also, I added a warning message to the user when Node.js is not installed. As for ACE, there was already a message for it. I'll release the patch in a few minutes.

I have a question regarding the epubcheck part of your plug-in which I've been testing for a couple of days.
If I undestand correctly the EPUBCheck report column should contain a link to the report file beeing produced after the plug-in is run. I click on the contains and I don't get to the report. Clicking on it opens the calibre editor (not the book editor though). Is it something I am doing wrong or I miss something in the setup? |

Jon,
I know about the possibility to run the epubcheck plugin from the Calibre ebook editor (or from Sigil for that matter). I use it quite often. The idea behind the Check Books plugin is that I can use it in batch straight from the calibre interface. This is useful for checking a bunch of books in the library. I am trying to understand the use of "EPUBCheck report" column. |

The link is clickable on the Book Details panel. It appears at the end of the comments. |

Also, like @Springbok already said, the purpose of this plugin is not the same of the Editor plugin. Some professional workflows require an ACE or EPUBChek report as an input. Also, you can scan your library and mark the books that need work. So, you will open an check only those that do have problems, instead of opening every book to check. The plugin uses two columns: one stores the link for the report, and the other one is a Y/N column, representing PASS or FAIL. |

PS. I must add 'comment editor' to my calibre terminology list. Until I have started playing with Checkbooks plugin I didn't even know that such program exists. |

This is more less the way I have been testing the plugin so far. But I always prefer to check with the author what is the rationale behind certain features of the program. Now I am perfectly clear.

Version 0.1.4 - 18 Aug 2022
- Allow not choosing a Report Column, so no report will be saved. This can be useful for those only interested on the Pass / Fail result. |
