I take it this is all a recent development. It makes me wonder if the Kobo software engineers would spend their valuable time thinking of ways to mess with the ability of 3rd party software to work with their firmware/software? This would be odd, though, given the original open and supportive approach that the Kobo devices started out with.
As some of you may have noticed, I have always found the database approach to file management a flaky idea to start with and the database easily corrupted. It should not matter to me as I make no use of it for my reading, thanks to KSM & Koreader. I don't think my experimental 600+ caliber generated library that is exposed to the database, has resulted in any corruption of the Kobo database, but I haven't checked it lately.
Luck;
Ken
