StarDict -> Mobipocket: extract css file

[ww00xx]

How can I set permanent KindleGen path in pyglossary (latest main branch) running on Win10, Python 3.11?
kindlegen.exe is located in C:\Users\X\AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle Previewer 3\lib\fc\bin\

[WARNING] Not running kindlegen, the raw files are located in C:\Users\X\Desktop\pyglossary-master\OLAD9
[WARNING] Provide KindleGen path with: --write-options 'kindlegen_path=...'

I pushed a commit.
Please make sure the directory containing kindlegen.exe is in PATH environment variable and try again with latest code.

Thanks. Path worked, but got KindleGen error and no .mobi file created (just .opf and bunch of .xhtml).

There is no style.css created during conversion from StarDict (.ifo) to Mobipocket (.mobi), thus KindleGen can not access the file. Any solution?

Can you upload your StarDict glossary?

Got it from here: https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=kZDhJ7ZBRkwNE50R4hz731AWB2RAb2Gmg3X#folder=4278386439&tpl=publicfoldergrid

These files are examples of dictionaries converted with PocketbookDic, a perl-script published on Github.
Typically there are three formats:
- Stardict optimized for Koreader is a zip-file containing the 3 Stardict files (dict.dz-, idx- and ifo-extensions) and 2 files for Koreader (a css-file as a cascading stylesheet and a lua-file for on-the-fly modifications done to the content of the dictionary entry as it is displayed in Koreader).
- Pocketbook's binary dic-files.
- Text-files in the XDXF-format compressed to a zip-file.

Archive has OALD9_reconstructed.css file, so during conversion from StarDict (.ifo) to Mobipocket (.mobi) it should be (maybe) moved to OEBPS folder and renamed to style.css for KindleGen to use it.

Please try adding --write-options=css=OALD9_reconstructed.css flag to your pyglosssary command.
