OK, that gives some more details to look at.

Before, it only takes seconds but now, when it works, I guess about ~3 minutes.

That was what I was expecting.

I don't have a fixed time when I connect it.

Not even a rough time? I normally connect after dinner during the week. It's roughly a two hour time slot.

My database is okay (just checked it). The backups, when they work, don't have the CORRUPT text so I guess all is well on my Aura.

Good as that eliminates a possibility.

I checked the timezone and there is also no issue with it.

Actually I was thinking that I might have messed up the date calculation because of the timezone. I haven't checked whether the code is working on local or GMT time.

File directory is Users/*myHD*/Documents/Kobo.

I assume the "*myHD*" is a name with no unusual character in it.

I can't recall if it happened before the plugin had the issue wherein I had to re-add my Aura to the list of devices to make it work after a Calibre update (I posted about this, too) or after that. But I think it was after. Here's a screenshot of the settings I've always used:

That looks like what I would expect.
