This might be a bit off topic, but I try this thread to see if any of you could help on this. I'm looking for a way of intiating a database sync of books on the filesystem, i.e. the sync menu alternative in this plugin. But I want to do it from an external activation and not from user interface. This is due to that I side load books with scp to the device, and would like to follow that with a ssh and execute the FS sync. The other method I know of (pretending a usb plug/unplug) have the side effect of disconnecting wifi.

I was thinking of creating a stand alone executable linking to the libnickel.so and execute the

Code:

N3FSSyncManager::sharedInstance()->sync(paths);

. Would that work, after creating the

Code:

N3FSSyncManager

object or would that interfere with the simultaneous running nickel application?

I'm running FW 3.3 on a Kobo Aura HD.
