Also, the hex id is in the "Kobo eReader.conf". It's that "90164EF8=true" line. I have seen a couple of these in the file at the same time, but only one of them was used in the database. |

Beta 1.1.3 - Compress device database
Quote:
Anyway, here is another beta. Two changes: - Fixed an error in the previous beta when running store as background job. - Added "compress device database". This runs "vacuum" against the database to clean it and reduce the size. This might improve performance after adding a lot of books to the device. It's still "next week", so I have a few more days before to release it. Last edited by davidfor; 07-10-2013 at 06:23 AM. |

Well, the post title was "Another beta". But rereading it, I can see that the text could be taken either way.

Tried a compress and got this Quote:

That's a deliberate error to see if anyone is paying attention. And as you can tell by my not attaching the beta the last time, it's me not paying attention.

I'm not surprised, but clearly nobody who decided to ignore numbering bothered to actually look at normal use-cases for the shelves. When you're looking at Titles, it's easy to miss the importance of the third line of the display, but when you look at a shelf consisting of a series of three books, and the first line is always identical, and the third line shows "SERIES - 3" followed by "SERIES - 1" and then "... - 2" it becomes pretty obvious that you're missing something important.

They don't need to do this as the series info is elsewhere. I would like them to present a series list that looks and works like the shelf list but is automatically built from the series info. As much as I would like to see this, I don't expect it to happen. But, I do hope to see a series sort option added in the appropriate places. Adding it as a sort for a shelve would be natural. While I mention my wishes for a list, the other I want is an Author list. Again, it would look like the shelf list, but with an entry for each author and a count of books by that author. Again, I don't expect to see it, but I can hope. |

I agree that there seems to be a lot of unnecessary info in the DB, but as a long time DB guy, I love to see too much data, rather than too little.

In this case, I think they are storing to much data. The TOC rows in the content table fell like overkill. They are probably carried over from the older devices. The TOC can be read from the NCX file when the book is opened. They have a little more use for kepubs as when the book is opened the word count for each chapter is calculated and stored. Splitting the TOC entries off to another table would have cut the size by a lot. And it would improve performance for searches and the various lists as the main content table would be a lot smaller.
