Agree, then for the first stage opening the page inside Pedia and providing some manual way of pasting text into fields would also be great.

Thanks for the hint on z39.50, I totally missed the name of the collection after the slash... I was actually wondering where to put that info. I am now all set to browse the catalogue of the Russian State Library, which is more than enough for me, and it works very fast. The only issue is that BookP...

As a follow up to the original idea: the page could actually be loaded into Pedia and then manual mark-up procedure could be implemented for other fields as well. There sould be a small toolbar with field names. The user selects the field contents on the image and then clicks the field name on the t...

Drag&Drop of track lists from web sites for CDPedia

There are numberous CD's from niche labels that can not be found in large repositories (such as Amazon), but could be easily located on the publisher's site. Writing a plugin for each publisher could be hard. Would be good if CDPedia would intelligently process the HTML drag&drop of the list fro...

I look through my own post and understood that I have used wrong wording. You normally don't need to rotate the image, it is possible to build a histogram without that, just by shifting pixels on each row before couting them .

Thanks. As to binarization: that's converting the full-color image camera yealds to black and white, because most of the algorithms in recognition deal with b&w. It is important to make the conversion purpousfully, which is not easy. Probably a good idea would be to focus on the center of the im...

I think mentioning me as a developer of the plug-in is kind of too much. I only wrote a small part of the code. It would be more correct to say something like "with contribution of" or alike. When you are revisiting the page next time, and you are in a good mood for few more keystrokes, I ...

I have uploaded the (hopefully) final source to here . Tried tonight with about 40 CD's, worked well. The recommendation will be to sort the CD's by the date added. Then it is quite easy to find the just added CD in the list. Would be nice if there would be a way to tell CDPedia to select the laters...

Yes, you are right, it was all because of caching on our corporate proxy... Now I have managed to get the updated file. Thanks a lot. And thank you for giving me a chance to finalize things a little. It's just a formality, anyway, after how you polished the things on your own. As soon as I am finish...

It looks like the link you posted is to the original version of the code you initially posted. Am I wrong?

Turned to be relatively easy

I managed to make AppleScrit communicate with the program that calls the script. If anyone is interested, I have put the project made by Conor with my modifications here.

I only need a hint now on how to pass the track data to CDPedia from the plug-in. It is not quite obvious from the code sample.

Great, thanks for helping me out with this effort. I was actually able to make XCode stop but only by explicitly calling Debug() function. It stopped, then fell into a disassembled code, without any chance to sync it with the original code. Because I am used to VC on PC's, this is quite strange for ...

Here is the first obstacle: I have found no way to debug the plug-in. :( I tried different ways (creating symbolic link from the CDPedia's "Plug-ins" folder to the plug-in bundle folder, compiling the bundle directly into CDPedia's "Plug-ins" folder). In all the scenarios XCode d...

Dear Conor, Thank you very much for being so prompt. I am not very good in AppleScript either, just starting :). It is much more comfortable for me to deal with C++ kind of things. So I will try a little more with AppleScript encased into the Objective C code. If that doesn't provide fast results, I...

The AppleScript is so simple I can post it to here right away: tell application "iTunes" set doRepeat to true repeat while doRepeat is equal to true try set myCD to some source whose kind is audio CD set doRepeat to false on error erMs number erNum -- error 1728 means the AudioCD was not f...
