I thinking to add to my script, but if the community doesn't care about it, then I just post the new version on my webpage and thats it. And about scanned books without OCR, its possible to find the ISBN, I do it somedays ago using some post processing OCR command. By this reason I write my own script two years ago, and now I decide to sharing with the community, if someone wants to use it, go ahead, if no, is freely to use the plugin. I know that exist a plugin to extract ISBN, but I was frustrated many times with this, because it doesn't work as I expected, just find ISBN in the easy cases, in many other just don't. And it updates the Identifiers column of the library database And it doesn't need any additional software, because it uses the pdf libraries shipped within calibre. No reason to take such an insulting tone about Jose_Manuel - the thread you posted to is a day short of SEVEN YEARS OLD!!!Ī calibre plugin, Extract ISBN has been in existence for MORE THAN FIVE YEARS!!! And it works on the Windows, OSX and Linux versions of calibre. And I've never heard of that commercial program, and use a Mac, so I didn't realize it was such a common thing for programs to find ISBNs in PDFS. I did read your post, I was just making the general statement that one person's "deal breaker" is another person's favorite feature.you were complaining about something in Calibre that I found to be a great timesaver, thats all. ISBN Agency with full upload of PDF which enhances book search ability in all search engines. Calibre is pretty slow, too, but I would certainly live with that if it could fetch metadata automatically.įinally, I would prefer an open-source application like Calibre over the commercial Alfa Ebooks Manager (which is only for Windows, too), but I guess I'll just have to keep looking at other possibilities. ISBN full distribution registration to Books In Print and U.S. It's hard to justify spending hours twiddling metadata. I have a number of ebooks, and for me the lack of this feature is kind of a deal breaker. Think about it this way: the ISBN is already in the ebook, it's a unique identifier for that book, it could be read from the file and used to fetch all the metadata automatically, so why should you have to enter any information at all? To be honest, it doesn't sound like you really read my post before replying. FWIW, Zotero can do this, too, though there are other limitations with Zotero. As I said, Alfa Ebooks Manager can fetch an ISBN from a PDF. Yes, I have an account with isbndb, and I don't see anything terribly "intriguing" about this feature, nor is it my idea.
