Previously, those comments were carried over to Calibre Companion. Now they're not. None of my Calibre comments are visible in Calibre Companion. What happened? Is there a setting I can change to get them back?
Some thoughts:
  • First question: what changed between when the comments worked and then not?
  • If the HTML is invalid then CC might fail to show the comments. Does unchecking the box CC Settings / Book details / Formatting in comments change anything?
  • Are the missing comments fields selected (checked) in CC Book details / Choose items to display?
  • What kind of comments field are they? By that I mean which option is chosen in calibre for "Interpret this column as" in the column setup?
  • You must do a "Connect as a wireless device" if you changed the lookup names.
