Glo New Bug with Shelves?

jbaumann · 06-30-2013, 06:50 AM

<Prologue>
Using David Forresters Plugin to sideload books on my Kobo Glo (i.e., the normal one), I create shelves from the normal series information and additionally from a custom column "stars". This column is created from another column and contains either "4 Stars" or "5 Stars". I use the following template:

{#to_read:switch(4,4 Stars,5,5 Stars,)}

The idea behind this is to create shelves named "4 Stars" and "5 Stars", that contain the books that I want to read next and which I mark accordingly in the custom column "to_read".

This works like a charm, and the shelves get created and filled. When searching for e.g., 5 then the shelf is listed together with all books and other shelves containing a number 5.

Me happy.
</Prologue>

Yesterday I updated to the 2.6.1 firmware (having had 2.5.1 before), and all of a sudden, while everything else still works fine, searching no longer produces these special shelves. I deduced that maybe shelves starting with a number would create problems and changed the name on the device to "Five Stars". But entering "Five" or "Stars" still didn't provide this shelf.

Now the question: Is this a problem of the new firmware (meaning I simply wait for the next version), or is it something else e.g., plugin or calibre itself, and I should try and find a workaround?

Cheers, Joachim

Are you sure of this? I don't think I have ever seen shelves come back in search results. But, as I automatically create shelves for series, and series do come back in a search, that could cause a confusion.

I have just done a test with 2.5.2. That doesn't show shelves in the search results.

You are correct. I set the Series information as well, and this was what I found. I verified it by changing the collection/shelf name and keeping Series the same. Coming from a Sony PRS-T1 I'm still thinking of series and shelves as the same.

And the memory of being able to find the 5stars as series must have come from one of my many experiments with setting series and shelves.

Thanks for checking, Joachim
