Hello. Recently I installed Marvin and the plugins and really like the software.
However, I miss one functionality - or I failed to find it.

I am also using Calibre, and was trying to copy over my complete Calibre book library in one go to the Ipad. But until now, I can only copy them by selecting a bunch, and copy those; rinse and repeat. Is there a function to ssync the whole library at once ? It would be so conveniant.

Thanks, Willem, Netherlands

You don't need MXD to copy books to your iPad. MXD is for metadata management.

After starting calibre with your iPad connected, Marvin running, and the calibre connector active, you can easily bulk copy epubs from your library to your iPad.

It will be more efficient to select only books with the EPUB format available that are not currently in Marvin. In the search bar, type

format:epub and ondevice:false

Group-select the books you want to send to Marvin, then click Send to device.

I am very grateful to Wulf Krueger (Philantrop) who has graciously agreed to take over development of this plugin and the iOS reader applications plugin. Wulf has started a new thread for the Marvin XD plugin.

Please direct any questions or comments to the new thread, as this thread is now closed.
