SIGH .....

OK, I "think" I have the Kobo Utilities installed correctly.

I used Calibre itself to get the plug-in.
I added four new columns:
Percent Read ( lookup="percentread", type = integers, Format = blank)
Kobo Rating (lookup = "koborating", type = ratings, shown with stars NOTE, I didn't use this when setting up the column matches)
Last Read Timestamp (lookup = "lastreadtime", type = date, format = blank)
Current Reading Location (lookup = "readinglocation", type = Text, column shown in the tag browser the "show checkmarks" box is unchecked

I then used "Customize Kobo Utilities" and matched the custom columns.
I used the regular rating column for the Rating Column.
Store on Connect boxes are all unchecked
I wasn't really sure what to put in the Other Options and I didn't set up any keyboard shortcuts.

Anyway .... my Kobo Glo is connected, but when I select a book that is on the device and right click and choose the Utilities menu, the "Change Reading Status in Device Library" choice is greyed out.

This was specifically what I was looking for ....

So what did I do wrong?
Oh, I'm using the Kobo Touch driver, the other two are disabled. (Kobo Reader and KoboTouchExtended)
