installation fails

[Villard]

Hello I try to install the plugin, but Calibre can't install it. saying "It does not contain a top-level init.py file" The details of the error are below. I'd before downloaded kepubify-windows-64bit.exe and put in the directory "C:\Program Files\Calibre2" which is my calibre directory and set as a PATH. thank you to give me the solution Villard

details of the error :

Hi,

The problem is with the archive generated by GitHub, as it puts the contents of the repository inside a calibre-kepubify-master directory in the zip file. You can download the CalibreKepubify.zip in Releases. Alternatively, re-zip the contents inside the calibre-kepubify-master folder of your already downloaded zip.

I did not test the plug-in on windows, so let me know if you find any other error. J.L.

I have the same issue as @Clearmist above, it gives me a "This plugin cannot be used on Windows". Running Win11.

Hi,

I cannot add Windows as a supported platform, as I am not able to test it. If anyone is willing to check whether it works or not, try adding it to the supported_platforms list in the __init__.py file. I would gladly append it to the OS list when someone confirms it works (it may be required to add the .exe extension to the command or whatever).

I got it to run on osx.

1. install kepubify brew install kepubify
2. add 'osx' to the list of supported platforms

   supported_platforms = ['linux','osx']

3. there is no step 3
