v1.3 Released

Changes in this release:
  • Rewritten to support multiple devices for device independent lists
  • Allow renaming of devices
  • Allow specifying a device to not automatically be synced to
  • Allow syncing to a device manually while it is connected

Obviously the main feature in this release is support for multiple "device" sync lists. A device could be a location on an e-reader, a folder or iTunes. It no longer uses the Calibre news sync feature and operates completely independently.

Note that the first time you use the plugin after upgrading you will not have any menus available to you. First you must connect to your device/folder/iTunes, then enter the plugin dialog and click the "Add connected device". You can rename it, turn off autosyncing for that device etc. If you have multiple devices of the same type, be sure to rename them from this screen while they are connected to prevent any confusion.

There is also a bug currently in Calibre which means connecting or disconnecting a device while a dialog is open can cause a Calibre crash. So be sure to complete the connection before opening the configuration dialog and then close it before disconnecting. A ticket has been raised but this workaround will ensure you have no issues in the meantime.

Appreciate any thoughts on how well this works.
