Hi David,

I've been having another play with this today after updating the Kobo driver, Calibre to 5.12 and the annotations plugin to 1.14.10. It looks like the issue with some annotations appearing in the preview, but not being added to the metadata correctly still remains unfortunately. I imported annotations from five new books: Two imported all correctly, one imported mostly fine apart from some ordering differences between the preview and saved metadata, while the remaining two had significant chunks missing. Let me know if you would like me to try anything else, but no worries either way. It is not a big problem to work around by copying from the preview (though changing the preview window so it is not always forced on top of all other windows would help a bit with this).

The bigger problem is really having to re-stitch together all the sections that crossed over page-breaks, and thus needed to be marked with two separate highlights in the Kobo (I think this might be where the ordering differences sometimes crop up between the Kobo/preview and imported metadata versions – I guess one uses the location in the book to order, while the other uses the timestamp of the highlight to order perhaps?). I assume there is nothing anyone can do about the buggy highlighting functionality other than Kobo themselves.

All the best,

N
