EBook Columns

[galaxyhub]

here are ss of metadata from calibre, have not got epub-meta.exe.

[Steve]

Not epub-meta.exe - I meant ebook-meta.exe - and you do have that - it's installed with Calibre and it's what the script uses to extract the metadata.

No files attached to your reply - they were ignored as they were .zip files - send unzipped as a private message please.

[Steve]

Both problems should be fixed with this: Ebook Columns.js.txt (13.3 KB)

[galaxyhub]

sorry to report, but problem has not been resolved with that version.

[Jon]

You probably need to clear the cache file.

[Steve]

Yep. Jon’s right. Delete the cache file - /localappdata\EbookColumns\

[galaxyhub]

yep that worked. Thanks for all the help and the great script. any chance of a viewer plugin for ebooks, lol.

@galaxyhub

any chance of a viewer plugin for ebooks, lol.

Well beyond my skill level. I don’t really see the point though. I cant imagine needing to preview an ebook. I know whats in it based on the author and title.

• 1.5.1 (22/6/20)

  • Added: Uses a cache file to store ebook metadata and uses that to populate the columns if possible. The cache location can be configured, and even turned off if required.
  • Fixed: Parsing of the metadata failed if other fields used a keyword like Author etc in their content.
  • Fixed: Added ALL to the delete command for the temporary file to override user preferences requiring a prompt for all deletes.

• 1.5.2 (4/8/20)
  • Fixed: Columns now work correctly in the rename dialog.
