Problem with path to book folder on device using usb driver

mike_i · 03-03-2015, 05:34 AM

Situation:
I use two copies of Calibre library, on Windows 7 and OS X, synced by dropbox.
I use Pocketbook 650, connected to Calibre using "user defined usb driver"
Everything works fine, except one annoying problem:
When I connect pocketbook to Calibre on Mac, the usb driver thinks what the proper folder on device is "my books"
When I connect device to Windows - Calibre uses "books" as default folder.

I tried to enter the folder names in all possible ways in driver config field - "My Books", /my books, \my books, etc - Calibre just ignores it and keep looking for books in "books" on Windows and in "my books" on Mac.

Thank you to any ideas!

does my books appear as a root folder on the MAC?

the starting \ is trying to us the root. You may need a qualified path before the first actual book folder.

You could try "Connect to Folder" if your device can be mounted by the system
