device transfer porblem
Today I downloaded and installed the latest version, but this problem also occurred with the previous version.
I use Calibre to download the Sunday NY Times every week. The new paper appears in the library, and when I attach my Sony PRS 505 it transfers automatically to the device-I do not delete the previous week's newspaper. I disconnect the device and only the new newspaper is on the device, the previous week's paper is gone. What is happening? Scotsan |

How did you do that? I've been looking for that "feature" - automatically delete old news on reader, when tranferring new ones from the same source.
When you plan your news retrieval there is an option on the right (bottom) to make it "Delete downloaded news older than x days". It obviously works for you. Doesn't work here. |

The standard recipe does not append a datestamp to the filename, so newly downloaded issues overwrite the older ones, as the filename is the same. If you want to manually control the deletion of your older issues on the device, you need to customize the built-in recipe: Code:
timefmt = '[%d %b %Y]' The default setting works correctly with Kindle periodical management, automatically archiving the last 7 issues, then deleting the oldest one when a new issue is downloaded. G |

Question, new to Calibre, installed ok, downloaded new magazines ok, but how do I get
previous books, etc. to show in listing in Calibre? A little confusion with e-mail inserts upon installing ( Kindle address, etc. ) |
