Angry Calibre 3 has lost my kobo bookshelves


Upgrading to Calibre 3.5, after recovering the library has completely lost the Kobo bookshelves metadata I had before.

Is there any solution to recovery that data that are very important for me?


Thank you

How is the metadata missing? Are the columns you use for the Kobo bookshelves still there but empty? Or are the columns completely gone?

The Kobo Utilities plugin has a function to retrieve the collections from the device into a column in the calibre library. It's not perfect as if you used the series or tags columns for collections, it will retrieve these values as well. But, you can use it to populate a column and then edit that column as needed to remove collections that come from other columns.

I still can see it in the .opf file:
Code:
 <meta name="calibre:user_metadata:#scaffale" content="{&quot;datatype&quot;: &quot;text&quot;, &quot;display&quot;: {&quot;is_names&quot;: false}, &quot;is_custom&quot;: true, &quot;is_multiple&quot;: &quot;|&quot;, &quot;name&quot;: &quot;Scaffale Kobo&quot;, &quot;#value#&quot;: [&quot;Narrativa italiana&quot;], &quot;search_terms&quot;: [&quot;#scaffale&quot;], &quot;category_sort&quot;: &quot;value&quot;, &quot;is_multiple2&quot;: {&quot;ui_to_list&quot;: &quot;,&quot;, &quot;cache_to_list&quot;: &quot;|&quot;, &quot;list_to_ui&quot;: &quot;, &quot;}, &quot;colnum&quot;: 1, &quot;table&quot;: &quot;custom_column_1&quot;, &quot;link_column&quot;: &quot;value&quot;, &quot;is_editable&quot;: true, &quot;column&quot;: &quot;value&quot;, &quot;kind&quot;: &quot;field&quot;, &quot;is_csp&quot;: false, &quot;rec_index&quot;: 22, &quot;label&quot;: &quot;scaffale&quot;, &quot;is_category&quot;: true, &quot;#extra#&quot;: null}"/>
but I cannot see the column anymore in Calibre...

I've tried to create again the own column as in the following wiki:
https://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/Kob...nd_Collections
and then a recovery of database but nothing is happened

Unhappy
I'm sorry but the only solution seems to revert to 2.85.1... and continue to use that version....
