[Feature Request] Action Chains integration

[tklimt]

Hello, it would be really great, if you could add an option to start the calibre plugin "Action Chains" for the downloaded or updated books. This would automate task I perform after downloading

This appears to be possible.

I've started a discussion over on the MobileRead FFF plugin thread about the details. I know there are some Action Chains users over there.

Thank you very much

I've posted a test version of the plugin in the usual place.

The FFF plugin has a signal it will emit after the "proceed with updating your library" dialog.

The code for the Action Chains Module I tested with is:

from calibre_plugins.action_chains.events import ChainEvent

class SearchChanged(ChainEvent):

    # replace with the name of your event
    name = 'FFF done'

    def get_event_signal(self):
        return self.gui.iactions['FanFicFare'].download_finished_signal

All I've done with it is call a chain that printed 'HERE!'.

Thx for the quick response. I am currently on holiday, so it will be a week before I can check it out

Hi Jim,

I tested it by now and it works fine for me. In addidtion to what you did, you have to make sure, fff marks the books after download.

then you add a selection modifier to the chain at the start (in action chains) with: new search: marked:fff_success and "Select all books in current Library / view"

to test I just added a Single Field Edit to the chain to add a tag.

this results in adding a tag automatically to all successfully downloaded books I normally do a bit more but that was plenty to check the functionality of it

thank you very much for including this

regards Thorsten
