Lots of work  |
Exactly, the hashes can never come back and even if it could be worked around by some method, I'm doing this just to help out, its already taken a few days of work and besides the append function, I don't believe it can/will go much further. Version 2 was designed to replace the functionality of the Create Collection->Add Books from a large list of titles. 2.2 will have this append function back shortly, based on selecting a specific collection and adding it to the end of the file.
As for where it searches for files, the defaults are as is, I am letting the user decide where he wants to go to locate the file, its not technical task to use a browse dialog. There really isn't an alternative as everyone's path to json/books is different.
Its a shame that amazon didn't feel the need to release a similar tool with the firmware upgrade and I know it sucks that those using macOS/linux are currently left out (that may change if I get more free time, having some life issues atm).
