The only way the plugins work right now is to provide the results of a 
search in a format that Tellico can read, either it's own XML format, 
bibtex, MODS, or a few other text formats. 

Basically, it's just a script that gets passed a title, person, isbn, etc. 
on the command-line, runs the search, and returns the result on stdout.

Select all the books, and update them. Tellico isn't threaded, and it will 
run the script one at a time, so it's terribly inefficient, though.

Re: copy-paste problem

I've poked at it a bit. Copy/paste is so funky on unix/linux with the 
selection clipboard and the other clipboard, that I think I should probably 
leave it alone.

First of all, Tellico basically copies the copy/paste code from 
kapplication.cpp. The reason I don't just call those functions is because I 
have the editor window. When the editor window is open, I want copy/paste 
to operate on the selected text in the editor, _not_ in the main window. So 
basically it checks to see if the dialog is open, then activates the 
appropriate widget.

Everything seems to work right when selecting in the editor dialog.

So maybe the specific detail is that you're selecting in the entry view, in 
the lower right? From what I can tell, the HTML doesn't have a copy() slot, 
so nothing happens when you ctrl-v, i.e. nothing gets dumped to the global 
clipboard, only to the selection.

Does that sound right?

Re: Tellico 1.3.3 Released

Hi Robby,

Thanks for the new release (and congratulations).

I will try to upload the package tonight before I go on holiday in Devon
and Cornwall for a full week tomorrow morning. Hopefully 1.3.3 will make
it to Lenny in time.

Thanks again,

Regis

Yep, that's true. I just tested it, since I rarely use the editor window
(always use the import functions to create the entries) I hadn't
noticed it.

Copy-paste works right in editor window but doesn't in entry view.

If I understood it correctly, yes, that sounds right.

Does not seem to work for me :-(

This is what I tried:

* open the abstract of a typical article in firefox, e.g. 
http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.76.115419
* Switch "Article Options" to "View Citation(s) in BibTeX"
* Press "Go"
-> the bibtex file is opened directly in firefox
* drag the URL line from the browser onto Tellico
-> Tellico does not react at all :-(

-- When I drag the same URL to the KDE desktop, KDE asks for a file name 
and then saves the URL itself into that file (instead of the bibtex content)

-- When I do the same from KDE konqueror, Tellico does not react either.

Thanks for poking at it. :) Tellico asks for the mime-type from the url and 
expects it to be text/x-bibtex or application/x-bibtex for bibtex files. So 
even it it doesn't end with .bib, if the http server reports a mimetype, it 
should work. 

For your example, when you select "open in firefox", the web server sends a 
text/plain type, which Tellico doesn't know what to do with. Using 
the "download to firefox" option sends a application/bibtex type, so it 
looks like I need to add that.

But evidently, not many servers use a bibtex mimetype. Not even Google 
scholar, which uses text/plain.

Konqueror and Firefox do handle drag/drop differently. One uses URLs as 
text, the other as a link. I tried to handle both, but you can see it

fetching data from IMDB

Hi,

looks like IMDB again changed the html code, and Tellico 1.3.3
doesn't fetch plot summary.
I played with the code and found out that the following change in imdbfetcher.cpp:
instead of
QRegExp plotRx(QString::fromLatin1("Plot (?:outline|summary):(.*)<[^/].*</"), false);
put
QRegExp plotRx(QString::fromLatin1("Plot:</h5>(.*)(</|\\|)"), false);
does the trick. The only problem is that if there is no plot summary you end up with
the text "add synopsis" as a plot summary in tellico. So it's not perfect, but it's better then
nothing.

Disclaimer: I'm not really good in C++ or regular expressions.
