1. You would need to write your own custom text export script to change the names. The link is for DVDpedia but can easily be adapted to Bookpedia and ISBN with:

Code: Select all

mkdir /Users/[UserName]/Desktop/Book-Images-ISBN/[key:isbn].jpg
<!--BeginRepeat-->cp -f "/Users/[UserName]/Library/Application Support/Bookpedia/Covers/[key:uid].jpg" "/Users/[UserName]/Desktop/Book-Images-ISBN/[key:isbn].jpg" 
<!--EndRepeat-->
[UserName] needs to be changed to your user name and the file saved in ~/Library/Applications Support/Bookpedia/Templates/isbn-image.txt and it will appear as a possibility for export under text exports. Copy pasting the resulting export text into /Applications/Utilities/Terminal would result in a folder with all the images names after their ISBN number.

If you are then going to use it with an HTML export you would write a customized version that uses <img src="/isbnImages/[key:imdb].jpg" /> to reference the image.

2. The above script is exploiting the text template that is normally used for CSV export and can be adapted to have any information you want including just the image names.

Code: Select all

<!--BeginRepeat-->[key:title]	[key:isbn]	[key:uid].jpg" 
<!--EndRepeat-->
