[IN PROGRESS] Suggestion: New section in ebook post generator for editors, translators and quality

[Mohammad6299]

I think that eBook post generator should have sections to specify "Editor(s)" and "Translator(s)". In "Source type (Quality)" section, "Scanner" should be devided to "Scanner (OCR)" and "Scanner (Non-OCR)".

This suggestion is in progress and will be done in next revision.

Nice suggestion, but I think that too much information tends to be more of a hindrance than an increase in quality.

What's the real importance of the "translator(s)" as a field to be filled?

I think that we need to find the equilibrium point, between quality and simplicity.

Dear Dell_Brett

Thank you for the reply.

You are right about the "Translator(s)", but I think Editor(s) and OCR are necessary.

Only the name of the Editors is specified for some publications:

In these cases "Editor(s)" should be used instead of the default "Author(s)".

I think OCR is necessary too. Some users want the OCR Scanned books because their content can be searched. Mentioning OCR in the post makes it easier to find such PDFs.

I'm agree with Dell_Brett
because these new options is not important for the Downloader !!!
and needs to more time to fill the fields
moreover we take materials from other forums and often these new data is not available

many thanks

Dear @mowafi3m,

Thank you for the reply.

These data (and even more) are usually specified at some websites for example libgen.org and openlibrary.org.
For some publications as I made an example at post #4, only the editors are specified and the authors are not specified (sometimes because every chapter of the book has many authors). I think that in these cases it is not correct to use Editors(s) option in the postgen instead of Author(s).
The person who posts a material at the forum can simply obtain the data and the information that he/she needs by downloading the eBook. eBooks usually have small sizes and it is not difficult to download them and look up the missing information.
Some scanned files have a large size and the server which the file is uploaded to is very slow. In these cases the person who is looking for the OCR material has to download files from different posts to check if the files are OCR.
