Touch Python script for building shelf automatically

deufeufeu · 07-26-2012, 02:11 AM

Hi,
I just got a new Kobo Touch yesterday but the shelves feature seemed broken by the fact that I couldn't do a "check all" while searching to add books.
So I wrote a python script that will build shelves based on the directory in which your ebooks are located. For example if you have all IronThrones books in the folder /mnt/onboard/IronThrones it will make a shelf named IronThrones with all books of this folder added.
The script is here http://pastebin.com/hX2kqQ9b .
I don't have time to explain how to make it works, but I'm sure those having rooted their kobos will have no problem.

Anyone checked this out? This is a great feature I've been hoping for...
Yet..

I'm a newbie...
I'd need some help. Anyone available ?

If you don't know what to do with this, you should probably just use calibre.

Very userfriendly and gives you the same result.

Thank you very much for the advice, I'll try!

I'm having trouble running this on the kobo touch:

Quote:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "build-shelves.py", line 1, in <module>
import sqlite3
File "/mnt/onboard/.python/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/__init__.py", line 24, in <module>
from dbapi2 import *
File "/mnt/onboard/.python/lib/python2.7/sqlite3/dbapi2.py", line 27, in <module>
from _sqlite3 import *
ImportError: No module named _sqlite3

I've installed python 2.7 from the KoboWeather download
I've tried downloading a couple of armel sqlite libs, but nothing that made any difference. Can anyone help me getting sqlite to run?

Thanks in advance

This script works on Kobo Aura HD ?

Should do; in effect all Kobo eReaders use the same basic software. But many people find using calibre to manage shelves a lot easier.
