- Start CC.
- Update CC's settings to what you want. In particular, add the sync column lookup names. I also set the UUID as file name check box. Ensure that "Scan for new books" is checked (it is by default).
- Connect as a wireless device. Let it finish syncing. The read information in calibre should now be gone for any book that is matched as on-device. It isn't necessary to disconnect to note the data loss.
If you alter step four and not put in the lookup names then the data will not be lost. After your first sync completes you can enter the lookup names without triggering the bug. This is why we haven't seen it to date in the prerelease program, because everyone had a working CC install (I think). |
I followed your directions and the books were still marked. So I looked closer and saw that you said to have read books that matched on device so while I'm still connected I figure I would transfer some books to my device that were labeled as read and start again, but as soon as the books were on the device the check marks vanished.
I hope that it is consistent with what you expected.
Update:
1. I disconnected then connected again and sent a new set of read books to my device and the same thing happened, but this time not only the new books lost the read mark, the books on the device that matched also lost their marks when the new books were sent.
2. I tried one more time this time with scan for books unchecked and the same thing as in update 1 happened.
