Aura HD Mark as read prompt

ownedbycats · 07-14-2021, 04:24 AM

If I leave a book at 98% or 99% and the last read date is long enough ago, Kobo prompts me to mark it as read. Recently I hit the wrong button and end up marking a bunch of recently-updated fanfics (with the percent read manually set to 98%) as read. Is there any way to disable this?

Alternately: What's the lowest percentage that can trigger the prompt? I can just set it to one below that.

I'd like to know too (how to disable it). I don't think there is a percentage solution that will work. I have the other prompt happen regularly, ie do I want to mark them as unread. That happens when the books are on a low percentage read, or just partially read, but not opened in awhile. I do this on purpose, so that I know which book I intend to read. I never want them to be marked as unread. And this prompt happens with books at lots of different percentage read, which is why I think along with what is happening to you, if it is any percentage other than unread or read, you will get one prompt or the other.

I haven't seen an option for setting the limits for the mark unread/finished checks. A patch would have to do it. But, the last time it was done is recorded in the config file. In the "ApplicationPreferences" you should find two entries:

Code:

MarkAsFinishedLastShown=@Variant(\0\0\0\x10\0%\x86N\x1\xa4[`\xff)
MarkAsUnreadLastShown=@Variant(\0\0\0\x10\0%\x86\x42\x1\xe0\xb7\xe3\xff)

The values are timestamps. They should be when it was last done. Replacing it with a timestamp in the future should work. I don't know how to generate a particular timestamp, but, we have a timestamp used for the "LastAffiliateSyncTime" that was ten years in the future at the time it was create. Which was in November last year.

The value is:

Code:

@Variant(\0\0\0\x10\0%\x94h\x3!>i\x2)

I'll try to figure out to do that.
