Redefine importer and create a GUI #24

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

As it's been discussed on the mailing list, the current importer is mostly a 
proof of concept. We should define further how the importer should operate and 
maybe design a GUI. 

This elements have been suggested for the importer interface:

- Option to skip the search (guessing)
- Adding a progress bar
- Adding a special tag for imported books

I intend to turn the importers into ... wait for it.... wait for it.... a new 
plugin class.

The importers are working about as well as they used to.

That means, not very well.

I merged this into integrate because it works, but needs lots of improvement.

I disabled all the "guess based on the filename" stuff because it's slow and it 
sucks.

I was thinking.. may be we can show a table with all the files to be imported 
and their respective data fields, then the user can complete the fields that 
knows.

 For example, the user imports the "libros" folder that has 3 files: "cujo.fb2", "Cory Doctorow - Eastern Standard Tribe.pdf", and "Anne Rice - taltos.pdf"; we can show a table like this:

____________________________________________________________________
File Name                                   | Title | Author | ... |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
cujo.fb2                                    |       |        |     |
Cory Doctorow - Eastern Standard Tribe.pdf  |       |        |     |
Anne Rice - taltos.pdf                      |       |        |     |
--------------------------------------------------------------------

This way, the user can fill some data of the books right after the import 
action, and may be let him guess the other with a button or something..
