Hi everyone, I’m trying to organise collections on my jailbroken KOA3 (FW 5.14.1) using Calibre 7.26.0 [running on macOS Ventura 13.6.3], the Kindle Collection plugin (1.7.29) & LibrarianSync – and have run into an issue I'm really hoping someone can help me with.

I want to use the "Edit Collections manually..." option of the Kindle Collections plug-in. If I understand correctly a QT6 patch is required, so I've edited the plug-in's utilities.py file as per dmeyer0's instructions [post #430] and rezipped the folder etc.

Unfortunately after patching & rezipping, the plug-in was no longer installed as far as Calibre was concerned. So I tried "Load plugin from file” but that failed, with the following message:

ERROR: Unhandled exception:
<b>InvalidPlugin</b>:The plugin in '/Users/.../Kindle Collections.zip' is invalid.
It does not contain a top-level __init__.py file

I unzipped the plugin to check the files, and yes, the __init__.py file was definitely still there.

Just in case the problem was the compression utility I was using, I did try several different tools to rezip the folder, but always got the same error message. Finally a friend figured out how to use the calibre-customize command line tool with the build-plugin option to zip and update the plugin successfully.

However, when I now try using the plugin to edit collections manually, I get the following error:

Spoiler:

What's confusing is that in both the utilities.py file, & the trace log above, 'ItemFlags' doesn't exist. I've double checked, & have definitely replaced Qt.ItemFlags with Qt.ItemFlag, as per dmeyer0's instructions.

Any suggestions on why this exception is happening, and how to fix it? I'd dearly love to get this working on my KOA3, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks everyone!
