TheSaint Posted March 26, 2018 Author Posted March 26, 2018 KindEbook Wishlist updated to v6.4, see Post #2. (v6.4) Finally remembered to add a third (Abort) option to ADD, when an ebook exists in the database for another user. NOTE - Decided it was time for this, even if it has meant doing an update just for it only. It was meant to be included several updates back. With its inclusion, this might be the last update for a while, until Amazon makes some script breaking change I am guessing. I feel it is quite a mature program now ... but you just never know.

TheSaint Posted March 28, 2018 Author Posted March 28, 2018 I have adapted my last program, ConvertEbook, merged it kind of with Batch Create & Run, and called it Batch Ebook Convert. I'm not uploading yet, as I have had a few more ideas, that I am way too tired to work on right now, but here is a screenshot ... which will change slightly. I have already given it some great improvements, that I will be adding to the next version of Batch Create & Run, plus the ones I haven't done yet. Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!

It also has many enhancements and new features in comparison (i.e. window position is remembered on closing, etc).

TheSaint Posted April 2, 2018 Author Posted April 2, 2018 AZWPlug updated, to v3.8, see Post #3. (v3.8) Improvements added, mostly to the Dropbox. Dropbox has some more handy right-click options (PASTE and FIND).FIND can be used to find missing ebooks from the database, that exist in the 'My Kindle Content' folder, giving an option to SCAN and ADD if desired. If PASTE is used with the full path of an ebook (AZW or MOBI), then ebooks can be added into the database that way, with SCAN. More foreign character fixes.NOTE - FIND can be used instead of Drag & Drop, so may prove to be a handy replacement process for that. TOP Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!

TheSaint Posted April 3, 2018 Author Posted April 3, 2018 UpdateFromOPF updated, to v2.2 , see Post #5. (v2.2)BUGFIX for the Author FIX button, where a value wasn't cleared and the Author name was being duplicated if clicked more than once. Mouse now needs to be moved slightly less for cover preview to close. Finally remembered to give a browse method to set the OPF file viewer program (default is SciTE if found at the standard location or Notepad).ADVICE - Clicking the VIEW METADATA button again, with CTRL held down, allows browsing for an alternative Viewer.NOTE - Until now, the VIEW METADATA button executed whatever program was associated with OPF files, which for me was SciTE.

TheSaint Posted April 21, 2018 Author Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) UpdateFromOPF updated, to v2.4 , see Post #5. Includes very minor bugfix. (v2.4) Improved restoring of a title to title field from the title sort field, when a ', The' variant exists. This is done with CTRL plus button click to copy in opposite direction. Changed the order of priority when extracting comments from the title field (bracket now first, then dash, then colon) (colon was previously first). BUGFIX - The wait (looped sleep) was increased for a slow Metadata viewing program startup (first use), to catch the correct Window handle & title.NOTE - That 'wait' value is now read from the 'Settings.ini' file, and so it can be manually changed. The default was 2 seconds, it is now 5, but not all of it is used if correct handle & title are detected sooner. For me, it is always the first startup that is significantly slower on my PC, and therefor hard to test for again once it has occurred, without a PC restart. There is a point, where if you have to wait too long, you are probably better off minimizing the viewer program manually. So I had hoped 2 seconds would be long enough, and it was fine for repeated use. IMPORTANT - That wait in the INI file is specified in milliseconds, so '5' is '5000'.

TheSaint Posted April 24, 2018 Author Posted April 24, 2018 UpdateFromOPF updated, to v2.5 , see Post #5. (v2.5) Mouse now needs to be moved slightly less again, for cover preview to close. In an effort to help speed up Metadata viewer window detection, for automated closing, the code has been modified again, plus an INI 'start' option added, which is the delay after starting the viewer before checking. The default was 500, but is now 1000 (1 second), which the user can modify in the 'Settings.ini' file. Right Trim for series has been improved for trailing punctuation etc. Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth! Remember, what is not said, can be just as important as what is said.

TheSaint Posted April 25, 2018 Author Posted April 25, 2018 Bucket-for-URLs updated to v1.6. See Post #17. (v1.6) Added an option to just remove ALL the DONE entries on the list, in one process. (v1.5) Support added for a copied list of URLs that have blank lines between one or more of them. (v1.4) Removed the Left align of the Title input field, as it did not allow scrolling right. That meant we were back to Right alignment, which I did not want. So I implemented a left & right control to set the default alignment for when a List entry is selected. That means you can now set things to see the start or end of Title text, in that input field. If CTRL is held down now, while clicking the CHECKING IS DONE button, then the selection automatically scrolls to the next NOT DONE entry, without changing the status of the initially selected entry (which can save on manually scrolling and clicking). Last search text is now saved and returned on program start. NOTE - Still trying to chase down an elusive bug that appears now & then, to do with currently selected entry. Always fixed by a program restart and possibly a resort. I need to knuckle down and spend some time with the program, other than adding new features at need.

TheSaint Posted May 4, 2018 Author Posted May 4, 2018 (edited) UpdateFromOPF updated, to v2.6 , see Post #5. (v2.6) Bugfix & improvement to Metadata viewer window title detection. NOTE - I had a misunderstanding with the Help file, and somehow did not pick up the issue in my previous testing, or perhaps I was distracted at a pertinent moment, and the testing got skipped. Anyway, the Help file should say 'Exact' match for ArraySearch parameter of '1', as I did not pick up on the 'Partial' for '2', until I did further testing, and I wasn't getting the return I was expecting. Anyway, the Metadata viewer window title detection is much faster now, well within the acceptable time taken range. Edited May 4, 2018 by TheSaint Make sure brain is in gear before opening mouth!

Quote AZWDrop is a dropbox for my AZWPlug program, and runs as an independent executable, though it is run from AZWPlug and interacts with it. © January 2018 - created by TheSaint (v2.0) Added an About right-click menu option with above description. Also a 'Skip' ability for ebooks you might always skip, never intending to ADD to the database or send to calibre from AZWPlug. Reset option to restore those skipped ebooks also added. NOTES - No doubt this update will be included in the next full update of AZWPlug (i.e. v4.0). P.S. AZWPlug was developed on my old Win XP Laptop with AutoIt v3.3.0.0. and still updated there. AZWDrop on the other hand, was created on my Win 7 Netbook with AutoIt v3.3.14.2 and is updated there. A marriage blessed by Dog and celebrated by all Donuteers everywhere. P.S.S.
