MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - Sending books to Kobo (KOReader) from Calibre never shows as "on device"

I'm using Calibre on a Kobo Clara HD, with the latest KOReader installed.

While KOReader is running, I'm transferring new books with Calibre, I have KOReader sync and kepub plugins installed.

In the device's settings (in Calibre), I have set it to put the books at the root of the main memory, the template is

Code:

{title} - {authors}

. I have checked and unchecked "use subfolders" but didn't notice any difference.

I want all books to be at the root directory because KOReader doesn't have the same browser as the native Kobo app where it will show all books including those in subdirectories. I don't want to remember the author's name to find a book to read.

When transferring a book with these settings, it will show as "On Device" (with a checkmark and "Main") right after transferring the book. But if I disconnect and reconnect the Kobo, Calibre will not show that it is on the device anymore until I transfer it again. Checking the mass storage volume, I can see the files present at

Code:

./

. Same thing happens when transferring while the Kobo stock launcher is open.

It used to work fine when the books were going to the default

Code:

{ authors_sort }/{ title } - { authors }

.

How do I get Calibre to understand that the book is actually already there?
