Edit: Updated plugin to manually load the dependencies directly from the zip file without using pip. With the notes feature in Calibre 7, I thought of a new plugin that I knew I would want, so I wrote it and am sharing it here. This plugin pulls author information from GoodReads and writes it to the author note. Everything is organized in a table (see example below) and the background color, border color, and text color can be changed in the plugin configuration. It defaults to the colors shown in the example image. Currently, it uses a Goodreads function that is also used by Calibre to "guess/search" the author page. This is almost always correct, but if you have an author where a more well-known author has the same name as the author of your book. For example, if you have books by South African novelist Peter Abrahams, Goodreads will return American mystery writer Peter Abrahams instead. If the author isn't found or if the author exists in Goodreads, but has no biography information, they will be skipped. Please let me know if you find this useful or have any suggestions.

Wheee! Amazing plugin. Just tested it on a book with multiple authors (actually the author plus two translators, from the time when I didn't have a dedicated translator column), and it processed all three smoothly:

@azuravian: I can put this plugin in the "Index of plugins" if & when you are ready for that. The index will link to this thread. Once in that index your plugin will be offered by calibre's plugin install/update mechanism, which offers the zip file in the first post of the thread. It is up to you to change the attachment when you make a new version.
I will need the summary info text you want in the index. If you want donations then I also need the appropriate link. |

I'm getting this error after installing the plugin:
Spoiler:
I guess something is missing in my installation. |

Exit status 9009 refers to a bad path. Looking at the specified path, it appears that you have Calibre installed in a portable install and to a path with a space in the name. I've made a change that might work. I'll attach it to this post. Let me know if it works for you.

I'm getting the same error because that is not the library... but the configuration folder (and to change that is complicated).

At install time, the plugin does not provide the option to add itself to a toolbar or menu as other GUI plugins do, nor does it appear the Available actions list in Toolbars and Menus.
If I try to Configure it in Plugins I get a "You need to restart calibre" message irrespective that I have restarted calibre multiple times, and it's still there after an overnight Windows shutdown and early morning fresh start. BR |

That's my problem too, and it means that it isn't proper installed. I guess if you start calibre in debug mode you'll see a message like mine. |
