Small French translation mistake

Hi

Sorry to behave like a nitpicker, but I spotted this mistake more than once already, so I think it's about time to correct it. I see it when checking a book:

"Retirer les ids à double..." should be
"Retirer les ids en double..."

Same for id à double.

If there is such thing as a French translation file for the Editor, not too difficult to proofread, I could give it a look, to correct the - easy - mistakes I could find. If it's too technical though, I will leave it as it is... ;)

Hi, I am not sure if this has been addressed before, I could not find the answer, but for some reason now when I select a category from the tag browser it just highlights the selection instead of isolating them.
Please help with the problem.

Why put deprecated element on toolbar?

I use the calibre editor to clean up my epubs.

In my last epub I used the toolbar a lot, especially the underline element <u>. Little did I know that this element is deprecated and gives you an error when validation your epub.

Why are there deprecated elements on the toolbar?

Search is showing all books with some highlighted! How do I fix this?

Some plugins, in particular Find Duplicates, can switch calibre's search from showing only matched books to showing all the books with matched books highlighted.

To switch it back, go to Preferences / Searching and uncheck the "Highlight search results" box. See the image below for details.

While you are there and if you wish, you can add a button to calibre's search bar to make it easy to switch between the two modes. The image shows you where to make this change.

ePub -> mobi

I am using Calibre to convert epUB TO MOBI. I then use KindlePreviewer for the final check. All is well except the List of Illustrations does not appear in the KP GOTO menu. Not a big deal, but I'm curious if I have done, or not done, something to cause this.

Below is the OPF GUIDE that I use.

Code:
  <guide>
    <reference href="Text/The%20Expressman%20and%20the%20Detective.htm" title="Cover" type="cover" />
    <reference href="Text/The%20Expressman%20and%20the%20Detective_0001.htm" title="Title Page" type="title-page" />

Footnotes one per page

Hi there,

I have my ebook, currently in LibreOffice, latest version, with a lot of footnotes. When I convert my DOCX into EPUB or MOBI the footnotes become endnotes (and that's fine), but they appear spread one per page. That means that my ebook, currently about 100 pages long, becomes 200+ pages long...
Is there a way to get the footnotes one after the next on the same page, so that only the minimum number of pages would be used (making it easier to browse them)?

In case it is useful, I am on a MAC running Mavericks and I am using the latest version of Calibre.

Thanks a lot :)

Calibre Updates not working on Windows 8.1

I'm recently back to using Calibre after a few years break. New computer, had to reinstall Calibre. At first I was happy, but now I'm extremely frustrated.

I originally installed 64bit 1.29.0 which worked fine.

Then I upgraded to 64bit 1.31.0, which was problematic. The program would start but then one of two things would happen. It would either be totally unresponsive, or stop working after the first click I made.

I tried the 32bit version and that didn't help.

In the meantime I've also tried 1.33, and that doesn't work.

I uninstalled all old versions, cleared out any files in c:\programs and anything in the registry that I could find that was Calbre related.

Then I reinstalled 1.29.0. Now that doesn't work.

I'm about to pull the plug on the whole thing.

Does anyone have suggestions regarding:

1. How to fix Calibre?

2. What other software I should use if I can't get Calibre to work?

Thanks.

Calibre2opds v3.4 - OPDS catalogs from your Calibre library

April 18, 2014, 8:30 am
$
0
0
MODS: Could you please make this a sticky release. Ideally I would like the thread on the 33 release to also remain sticky for the time being so users on 3.3 can raise questions and provide feedback.

This first post will be updated as required for the latest news and downloads on the 3.4 release to avoid you having to read through the thread to get the most up-to-date status.

News
Development of Calibre2opds 3.4 has now started and beta builds sill be made available as new functionality is introduced and/or bugs found in the 3.3 release are fixed.

The current 3.4 beta Release (rev 280) is available at the Calibre2opds Googledrive download site. The ZIP distribution is installed by unzipping the contents over the previous release or by following the Manual Install instructions for the ZIP install in the User Guide.

Localization
The localization of Calibre2opds to languages other than English has become rather incomplete. If anyone is willing to help in getting Localizations up-to-date (for an existing language) or add a new one), then details on the process can be found here. No special development skills are required - just familiarity with the target language(s) and some time to dedicate to the task.

Description:

The calibre2opds tool can generate OPDS and HTML catalogs from the metadata of the Calibre ebook library manager. The calibre2opds catalogs are intended for scenarios where use of the Calibre Content Server is not appropriate (see here for a comparison). These catalogs can then be used both to browse your ebook library online and also to download books on demand.

Changes for Calibre2Opds v3.4

New features under development:
  • Improve GUI validation for Custom Catalogs

New features that are under consideration:
  • #c2o-209: Provide a facility to put custom catalogs above the standard ones at top level view.
  • #c2o-156: Allow Calibre Custom Column values to be used to create new sub-catalogs
    criteria. This feature will not appear before release 3.4 as it is proving non-trivial to implement.
  • #c2o-157: Allow Calibre Custom Column values to be used in calibre2opds search

Bug Fixes/New Features completed:
  • Fix: #c2o-204: Problem navigating to author from an author series in HTML catalog
  • Change: #c2o-207: Show current profile name in the window's title
  • New: #c2o-212: Option to sort books within a tag by author and then title
  • New: #c2o-213: Option to suppress split-by-letter within a tag

A few suggestions

@ kovid

I have a few suggestions regarding Calibre Edit Book. Don't know how hard it is to implement them, but would kindly ask you to consider:

1) adding "Split at Cursor" option in code view (possibly via right click or a keyboard shortcut - Sigil used CTRL+Space). It would give more control and be more precise than the existing green-line solution;

2) adding "Minimal Match" for RegEx searches next to "Wrap" in search mode;

3) adding the buttons and/or keyboard shortcuts to change lettercase: lowercase, uppercase, capitalize headline-style, capitalize sentence-style; this was mentioned earlier, don't know if you're working on it or not.

Thank you for all your hard work :thumbsup:

Single instance of periodical - distributed by email

Dear All,

firstly forgive me if this has been answered already but I've having challenges trying to setup calibre to distribute one and only one copy of a periodical to my device by email.

I believe I've set the scheduler correctly by setting in the advanced tab "Keep at most" 1 issue and set up distribution by email to my main kindle device. This does behave as expected that my library only has a latest copy and teh emails are sent out.

However on the receiving end ( both my kindle and my iphone ) i just get an every increasing list of documents being delivered and they don't seem to be replace in place.

I've gone through the FAQ, searched google, etc. but all no no avail. Has anyone figured out how to set up the receiving device that it disposes or previous versions?

Thanks much in anticipation

Hi, is their a way to hide a specific 'tags' used when a virtual library (VL) using those tags is opened.
i.e. Fiction VL with 'tags:"=Fiction"' will hide Fiction 'tag'.

Covers don't always show when transferring to Kindle Fire HDX

April 18, 2014, 4:44 pm

Hello...I've been using Calibre since I got my first Kindle back in 2010.
I've just recently started having an issue when I sideload a book to any of the Kindles I have in my home... that the cover won't always show in the carousel, it will show the blue & white cover. I have searched all over the internet for an answer and here of course.
I have been able to make it work sometimes by choosing different covers, but never on a regular basis.
I've tried going from mobi>mobi or azw3>mobi, really any combination I could think of....
I'm feel like it might have something to do with the size of the covers or something in the metadata somewhere, but just can't figure it out and to be honest, I never had to worry about the cover before....I generally chose the cover with the highest resolution and it worked.
In the scheme of things, this isn't important, because my books are still easily readable as they are, but I like to try and figure out how things work and fix them if possible...that's why I have gone about 2 months before asking for help....I was hoping to figure it out....:help:
Sorry for the long message, but figured the more information the better...thanks for any help given.
