I have just updated the plugin. There are two changes.

There is small change to handling line heights. This is preparing for a change in a future firmware.

The main change is to add function to try an fix the duplicate shelves. When run, this will display a list of all the shelves with the number of copies and timestamps to show when the oldest and newest were created. Pressing the OK button will mark the shelves for deletion in the device database. When the next sync to the Kobo server is done, these records should be removed and the server updated to prevent the shelves being resent to the device.

There are some options when doing this:

For the "Shelf to keep" you can choose either the newest or oldest shelf.
"Purge duplicate shelves" will delete the records for the duplicates from the database. This will mean the shelves are no longer listed in the shelf list, but, it will not signal to Kobo to delete the shelves on the server. It is possible that on the next sync, the duplicate shelves will be recreated.

The "Fix Duplicate Shelves" option is under the "Database" menu item.

As usual, calibre will notify you of the update in the next few hours. And if you have any problems with the plugin, please report them so I can look at them.
