The field is newer than the last sync. many of the Read status are even older.
Sync is about whats Newer than the other |
Hmmm, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, then. I didn't tinker much with CC when I got it - I assumed that transmitting read/unread status was a basic default function.
I am synching with wireless device connection after setting the status in CC, but evidently that's not enough.
I'm not sure what you meant by #2. Can you elaborate on that and on the steps for doing that? From what I can see, within the settings menu, and under "wireless connection," there is an option for "wireless/device connection/Sync new...." that I have turned on (switch turned to the right). There is another set of options under "Marking Books Read." Here there are several options - please tell me if I have any of these configured incorrectly:
"Update Date Read when read" - I have this turned off, because I mark the book read manually. Though even when I had it turned on, I had the same problem described above.
"Sync only form calibre to CC" - I have this turned off, because I understood that turning it on would only sync read information from Calibre to CC and what I wanted was two-way synching of said information
"Mark updates in calibre" - I have this turned off. Frankly I did not understand what this did.
"Sync column for Read" I don't have any options to adjust here. It says "current value: lookup name for a calibre yes/no custom column that CC's Read indicator is to be synced with" There is an arrow to the right which has "Don't sync" checked. I can't seem to uncheck that.
"Sync column for Date Read" Same as above, no option to change this. It again mentions a calibre date custom columnb that Date Read is to be synched with. Again the arrow to the right gets me an option that says "Don't sync" and that is checked. I can't uncheck it.
