UUID plugin request

H B

I’d like to request a UUID plugin, that generates a unique ID, for ebook development.
EPuB files need a unique book identifier, which often is generated by an external program.
I like to use notepad++ to program my books, since they’re made in xml, but need to use an external program to generate the identifier.
I’m sure it isn’t very hard to make.
Sigil has one.

Hello H-B,
if PythonScript has been already installed, then a simple script could do the job.
Place the cursor where you want to add the uuid and execute the following script.

import uuid
uuid = str(uuid.uuid4())
editor.addText(uuid)

In addition the ToolBucket plugin has such functionality, be aware that the
version which plugin manager knows isn’t the most recent one.
This can be found here.

Cheers
Claudia
