You might want to take a look at a script someone sent to generate book 
covers with Scribus. 

http://www.periapsis.org/archives/2006/01/26/scribus_and_tellico.html

I'm not sure if it still works correctly, but you might be able to modify it 
to do what you want.

As for integrating it with Tellico, not at the moment. I'm beginning work on 
the port to SQL, so I doubt I'll be adding any other functionality for a 
little while.

Thanks for your email,

font in tellico too small/unreadable / not configurable

Package: tellico
Version: 1.2.4 3.5.5, Debian Package 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5 (4.0)
Severity: normal
Compiler: Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS: Linux 2.6.16-1-686 i686 (Debian Package 4:3.5.5a.dfsg.1-5 (4.0))

In tellico it is only possible to set up one font for everything. The fonts in the video (or other) list and the
actresses etc. all look ok, but the font in the comments is smaller though it also is affected by this
setting. When I change the font size all text changes size but the text in the comment/plot summary stays
smaller than the rest of the text (and isn't very good readable). It would be better if the font would be the
same as for the rest.

I use video database and fancy layout.

I understand your comment, I think I make the template use 90% of the 
default font size for the comment paragraphs. That was mostly to try to fit 
more in that table.

If you want to modify that with the current version, you can edit the 
Fancy.xsl file. Down around line 183 or so. You could also just copy the 
Fancy.xsl file to a new name, if you want to have an additional template 
available within Tellico's configure dialog. 

Thanks for the email,

Import covers from amarok

Has anyone figured a way to import covers from amarok.  To be clearer, amarok 
uses covers from two possible sources, custom covers set from local graphics 
files, and covers it downloads from amazon.  I am concerned with the latter 
category.  

Amarok stores the downloaded covers locally with file names that seem a bit 
random.  The randomly named file is associated with the album via the 
database.  

Has anyone figured out a way to identify the randomly named stuff for use with 
the same album in tellico?

I suppose a script that imports amarok databases into tellico would be nice.  
I wish I had the skills to do it.

It's a md5 hash of the artist and album name, I think.

:) One is available already. Configure Tellico -> Data Sources -> Download 
and select the search-amarok script. It's a slow script, and requires 
amarok to be running. I've had problems with it not finding some covers, 
though, and didn't put in the time to figure out why. So it's a bit hit or 
miss.

new tellico user

Hello and happy new year,

I am a new tellico user.
I used to manage my video collection using MySQL and a client I developped using
Tcl/Tk and sqlscreens, but having the database in the MySQL server area instead
of the user area makes backups and Linux distribution changes difficults.
Then I heard of Tellico, which does about everything I expected from such a
collection manager.
I even plan to create a CD, a Comics, and some books collections.

I modified my client to create a csv file, which I imported in tellico.
I encountered some locale issues, though, since the MySQL stuff is running under
Debian Sarge whose locale is ISO-8859-15, whereas tellico is running under
Kubuntu 6.06 Dapper, whose locale is UTF-8.
Some iconv stuff was required.

This locale issue is reapparing every now and then:
-The allocine.fr data source works in UTF-8, but the allocine web site expect
latin-1, but if I modify the python code to construct a latin-1 search url,
then this is tellico which is complaining that the XML is not OK (indeed, it
may contain some latin-1 instead of UTF-8, so is out of spec).
-The export to pilot-DB: my palm (tungsten T5) is set to latin-1. As far as I
know, there is no possibility to set the palm to UTF-8. In the tellico export
dialog, there was a section about locale, but it was greyed out, so I could not
 modify the locale to latin-1 instead of UTF-8. There might be something missing
in my Kubuntu installation or KDE settings.

All in all, a very good piece of software: felicitations.

Faithfully yours,

Thanks Robby.  I'll try it.

imdb-rating as textfield

Hi,

I use for the imdb-rating field a text-field - as it can save "5.3" and not 
only "5 stars". And imho it is easier to read.

I patched the imdb-fetcher so it saved the exact value from imdb (including 
the decimal):
--- imdbfetcher.cpp.orig        2007-01-12 14:23:29.000000000 +0100
+++ imdbfetcher.cpp     2007-01-11 19:43:25.000000000 +0100
@@ -928,7 +928,7 @@
     bool ok;
     float value = rx.cap(1).toFloat(&ok);
     if(ok) {
-      entry_->setField(QString::fromLatin1("imdb-rating"), 
QString::number((int)value));
+      entry_->setField(QString::fromLatin1("imdb-rating"), 
QString::number(value));
     }
   }
 }

It looks like this decimal-number works for the normal rating field too 
(although I didn't do too much tests - I guess you will know that better)

please check if this patch can be applied.

thanks!
Niko

Re: Create CD-Covers

Hello,

I attached my solution for the CD-Covers.
The Patch adds a "Print Cover" command to the context-menu.
The PrintCoverDialog-Class creates a preview for the first page and provides
a button to print all covers.

This features provides zero flexibility - but it works nice for me.
I send you this just in case a similar printing-features is planned.

Greetings,
Niko
