Hi all!
I just purchased Calibre Sync through the iOS App Store, and I am THRILLED!! I have literally been looking for this app for ten years ! Sadly, there is not much documentation, so I have gotten pretty stuck when trying to update the Read/Unread status from the app to Calibre.
As instructed on the website I created a custom column in Calibre. But there were no instructions on how exactly to set up that column, so I experimented, and made it a “choice” type column with Read as one and blank as another. When I first set up Calibre Sync, it allowed me to choose that column to sync the read/unread status. The sync didn’t work— or rather, I was able to sync a “read” value from Calibre to Calibre Sync, but it was a custom column value, not at all connected to the “read” status in Calibre Sync.
I then discovered that it is not possible to edit a custom column in Calibre. I had to delete the column and start again. So I did so, and created a new tag-type column. When I went to connect that column to Calibre Sync, I saw that there was no longer an option to choose the column I wanted to use for the sync process. I forged ahead, since I was using the same name, hoping that Calibre Sync remembered that original value.
I have since created multiple custom column types using the same column name as the original name I selected. I have tried yes/no, tag type, tag with restricted options and none of them are syncing to the Calibre Sync read/unread status.
Does anybody know how to set up the read/unread sync (with date read if possible)?
