AutoShelf is slow for large libraries. It runs every time you unplug the Kobo from the PC and it takes its sweet time to check if there are any books in the database that ought to be shelved. There is not much room to optimize that, so I had a different idea: autoshelf manually!
To use autoshelf manually, if you actually want AutoShelf to run, make a circular swiping motion on the screen as you unplug from PC. If AutoShelf detects touchscreen input it will run, otherwise it won't run.
It's a best of both worlds: You get shelves automatically. But only when you want to.
It does not force you to look at a progress bar every time you unplug the device even when there aren't any new books to be shelved.
So in order to put new books on with AutoShelf-Manually the process is like this:
- connect to PC
- copy books
- disconnect (AutoShelf used to run here and waste time)
- Kobo updates its database
- connect to PC
- disconnect while you simultaneously do a circular screen swipe motion
- the swipe-on-unplug causes AutoShelf to run and put the books on shelves
If you try this, let me know how it works for you. I'm considering making this the default behaviour for future versions of this mod.
