My settings for the "Dismiss Tiles from Home Screen" option are those shown in the screenshot below.
What I would like to keep on the screen - excrept the books that I'm actually reading (3 or 4) - is only "My books" and "Pocket articles".
Now, when I'm connecting the reader, do nothing else and only click "OK" on the tool, there appears the message "Update successful", but after disconnecting, there has nothing changed, only the tiles set by Kobo appear, such as "recent romances", "books cheaper than 5 €" and so on.
I repeat the steps and check "Change database trigger", leaving the "Create or change trigger" option aside. Effect: same as above.

I think I tried out all possibilities, leaving always to the same result, what means, the "Dismiss Tiles"-option doesn't work at all, despite the message "update successful".
But: I have another computer with exactly the same features told above, and there everything is working allright. Is there a way to see what is wrong on the first computer?

Edit: I just tried once more on the second computer, but now the tool doesn't work there, either... and the firmware version is 4.5.9587.
The tile dismiss function doesn't work with the new home screen. I only works with the tiled home screen. The tiled home screen is no longer in the firmware since either version 4.3.x or 4.4x. There won't be any errors a the database still contains the table used for the tiles.

With the firmware that still has the tiled home screen, other changes meant that the dismiss didn't work quite as well. The way tiles were added to the home screen meant that some would be displayed until the next time the home screen was refreshed. But, they would eventually go away. If you are using a firmware version with the tiled home screen on a device, and this function doesn't seem to affect anything, then I need to see a debug log. That will let me see if what the plugin actually did. Then we can look at what the device is doing.
