Feel free to play around with it but I won't have time to get into it right now. If you implement something, you should add an option to the |
Thanks, I'll see what I can do! |
Hello, this idea is great and I believe that creating a bridge between Zotero and Calibre would be useful to many users. |
Hi, can you describe what exactly you are thinking about? Is egh's description in the first post what you want to do or is there something else? Does it make sense to add this to |
Hello, thanks for your quick reaction. The idea would be not only to send the file to calibre (the command 'add'), but also to attach the metadata created in Zotero, using the command: calibredb set_metadata [options] id /path/to/metadata.opf (see description of Calibre commands : http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/cli/calibredb.html) Just to clarify (I hope), the result would be Calibre not only store to the files in ...\CalibreLibrary\Author\Title\doc.pdf (and the equivalent doc.epub, doc.mobi, doc.azw, the wondeful thing about calibre being its ability to translate formats and synchronize them with reading devices). It would also create a ...\CalibreLibrary\Author\Title\metadata.opf with all the ref information corresponding to the document So this would require (I think) Zotfile to call an Zotero export function to have a file with metadata to be adapted to Calibre format. So for instance, the following reference (BiBtex): Would generate a metadata.odf with the following information: 2/dc:identifier 5a7e096c-2cdc-4051-b220-265935becce0/dc:identifier dc:titleThe Retreat of the State. The Diffusion of Power in the World Economy/dc:title Susan Strange/dc:creator dc:publisherCambridge University Press/dc:publisherSo, from what I understand, this would require:

Any news on this? Or another solution to sync the content of zotero with an ereader? |
Hello, sorry but I have been overwhelmed with finishing my phd and I

A short description of my alternative workflow for people finding this issue (ping @saroele): My workflow then: It's a little clunky, but enables me to read and annotate my Zotero pdf:s on my e-ink reader! |
Hi,
I use calibre to manage ebooks for my ereader. It would be nice if zotfile, after (or instead of) pushing a file to a particular directory for "Send to tablet", would call the calibredb program, e.g.
I've had a quick look at the source and it looks like this could be added to the end of the
sendAttachmentToTablet
function. I can look into it, but it might require abstracting sosendAttachmentToTabletme code (e.g. calling an executable).My ereader does not support annotating texts so that is not an issue for me. I don't know if it is an issue for others.
