Kobo Collection Manager

Hi,

I made a Kobo Collection Manager. With help from Claude.ai.

See https://jcremers.com/Kobo.html

It works on my Kobo Libra 2 but is not yet tested on other devices.
But according to the bot it should work on most Kobo's because they all use the same database, KoboReader.sqlite, and all handle collections the same way.

I could successfully add and delete books to / from a collection.

It has a backup / restore for the database feature too.

Kobo Collection Manager Help

Main Window:
- Left side: Collections and their books
- Right side: Books without collections

Menu Options:
- Create Collection: Make new collection
- Upload books, this will ask for the name of the map you want and create it if it does not exist. You can upload multiple books at once.
It will also ask if you want to make a collection with the name of that map if that does not yet exist and add the books.
- Backup: Save current Kobo database
- Restore: Load saved database to Kobo

Using Collections:
- Drag books from right to collections on left.
- Select multiple books with Ctrl+Click or Shift+Click
- Press Delete to remove book from collection, or complete collection.

- A double click on a book will show that book if it can be executed on your pc (using fbreader or similar)
- When you double click on a book in the box with books without collections and you get 'not found' you can Use Cleanup Database.

Important:
- Always work with database backup first
- Restart Kobo after making changes;
