Re: Importing Kindle to Bookpedia or iBooks

If you are going to follow the instructions above with your books, not that I'm suggesting or condoning that you do, you should know that its best to use a version of the Kindle app between 1.14 and 1.19 . Otherwise, for some books you will run into a new format that is not able to be converted.

Re: Quick one line question about Plugin interface

Well, the methods are being called so thats a very good start. I think where the problems are in my code are in the delegate accessors. The source level debugger sucks so I've not figured out *why* the errors are occurring yet. Swift really cannot make up its mind about setDelegate. I took a break y...

Re: Plugin writing in Swift

Swift is the way to go, it's the future. But like Carbon, it's going to take Apple about 20 years to be able to kill off Objective-C. I was going to say "just like they did Carbon" but I didn't want to irritate anyone I like the strong type casting, but dislike optionals. I dislike them a...

Re: Quick one line question about Plugin interface

Hi,

I saw that. Is there some reason that its more appropriate in that class rather than being part of interface declaration in Sample.h? I have to say, while I"m able to write Objective-C, by no means am I an expert.

Plugin writing in Swift

Soooo... I decided to learn Swift by taking and converting the Sample plugin. So far so good because the plugin is loading and the methods are being called. The bad news is that I obviously suck at programming in Swift so I'm able to wipe DVDPedia out pretty much at will. Ok, to get to the point of ...

Re: Importing Kindle to Bookpedia or iBooks

Oh my lord, its 18 hours later and I'm not even halfway through the download of all my Kindle books. Though, thank goodness for Keyboard Maestro, otherwise I'd still be clicking and selecting download 1 book at a time.

I wonder if I can sue Amazon for causing me carpal tunnel syndrome.

Quick one line question about Plugin interface

Is there a reason that resultURLs is not scoped the same as resultTitles and that neither of them are accessible via properties?

Re: Importing Kindle to Bookpedia or iBooks

Good catch, I had meant to put read.amazon.com . I blame the dresser-diving, partially titanium, mid-night-mid-section impacting scared-of-thunder-cat. I must confess I've never drag and dropped the CSV file. I always go the File->Import and set the fields accordingly. It imports just fine with asin...

Re: Stuffpedia?

Trust the Swedes to invent a process for this. They are more efficient than Germans. Whomever heard of a software package thats ever been used as developers intend? The world would definitely be less interesting. Following in the footsteps of your Art aficionado, I am thinking that GamesPedia would ...

Re: Various unrelated questions regarding Pedia products

RANT WARNING I spent some time with Xcode today. If anything, its gotten worse. It appears to me that those whom are charged with its developer are not actually using it. If they were, it would be seriously different. One feature that I vaguely recall, and that appears to no longer exist, was a vers...

Re: Various unrelated questions regarding Pedia products

LOL. Sorry, I've been focused on list data, not the actual files. Plus, I didn't want to download several thousand Kindle and around a thousand iBooks. The iBooks ones are ridiculously huge. Funny enough, much of Calibre's functionality is available in two python libraries. Its one of the reasons I ...

Re: Various unrelated questions regarding Pedia products

It made me laugh. Richard Gere's legacy will be marred by unsubstantiated and unverified claims, 2000 years from now it's the only thing that will remain on record. Like staring at hieroglyph of Richard Gere's posterior and a gerbil. Thus it will be then be known as the Rosetta stone that allowed t...

Re: Is there a list of existing genres somewhere?

Yes, I did rebuild myself out of all genres except for "manga". Then, I had a mental block of what would be appropriate defaults after staring at that forlorn single entry. I since decided that manga is better off as a tag than a genre. I vote for an additive restore defaults anywhere 'reb...

Re: Various unrelated questions regarding Pedia products

I can't even watch someone dog ear a book. This makes me feel really guilty. . The tag field will break it up in the edit window, but since the separator is the comma, it will still work find in the list view as well for most features and export. But if you don't mind going first name first, we do ...
