Sage: kepub vs epub

Quoth · 04-17-2022, 03:38 PM

Sending epub to Sage works.
Reconnecting and updating Series info works
Same books sent as kepub never appear after Eject. Power on/off & repair account doesn't work. Calibre doesn't see the books as already sent when reconnecting.
Sending same books then as epub did work.
Calibre says Database is OK

The actual kepub files are copied to the ereader. Visible in filemanger. Is Calibre Kepub conversion plug-in doing file name correctly? It ends just in kepub.

I was immediately suspicious after sending the 30 books and doing Eject as the Home screen appeared without the black "Importing" progress screen first.

The files should end in .kepub.epub. As far as I am aware, if you have a filename.kepub in your calibre library, it should be renamed to filename.kepub.epub when send to your Kobo.

This has nothing to do with the Kepub conversion plugin.

Thanks.
Do you mean the "Kobo extended driver"or Calibre should be renaming it automatically, or I have to rename it after sending or I need to edit some setting in the "Kobo extended driver"?

I suspected the filenames needed to end in .kepub.epub, but I thought it strange that I'd have to manually edit them.

Calibre uses the drivers to communicate with the devices. Hence, file naming on the device is up to the driver. The built-in KoboTouch driver handles the renaming when sending a kepub from the library. The KoboTouchExtended driver inherits this and hence does exactly the same thing. The renaming of epubs that have been transformed to kepubs by the extended driver is handled separately.

In any case, it is working here with either driver. I can't think of a way it could fail. To take a guess, run calibre in debug mode, send a kepub and post the log. Hopefully it will show there.

How do I run Calibre in Debug mode on Linux?
I'm sending files already converted to kepub, not converting on the fly option.
I did it three time, once with 38 and twice with 30 files, ejecting between attempts. The files on the kobo are "/<author>/<title>.kepub", i.e. same names and location as if epub were sent, but with kepub ending.

Thanks.

Running "calibre-debug -g" in a terminal window starts calibre in debug mode with all the log messages showing up in that window. If calibre isn't on your path then you must either navigate to the right directory or prefix the command with the path. You could do calibre-debug -g > log.txt 2>&1 to have the logged info saved to a file.

Another way: you should be able to click on the down-arrow on the preferences tool and pick "Restart in debug mode", in which case after the restart and then quit the debug log will appear in a dialog.

I did it in the GUI under preferences.

What happens if you switch to the KoboTouch driver? Since you are pre-converting the books, using the KTExtended driver is not doing much for you.

Code:

I'll try that tomorrow. The other David seemed to suggest they shared same code for transfer.
Curiously the Kepub icon, unlike PDF & epub icons, has a [?] icon in the select format to transfer window.

I don't believe Calibre has an Kepub icon available (IIRC it does not use the OS for Icons), thus the 'unknown format' icon

OK, so that's a red-herring, didn't think it mattered which is why I didn't mention it earlier.

I really wish people would not do that. I mean, how do you know what I want to look at? A really simple thing is that the version of the driver is not there so that I know what code base to look at. And, it doesn't show options being used or any other errors that might have happened. Attach the full log. Or, if you don't want others to see it, upload it somewhere and PM me the link.

But, I'm guessing that you have disabled the kepub handing in the driver. If you are using my beta posted above, this will be "Send books as kepub". In the released version, it is "Enable Extended Kobo Features". In both versions, that option basically turns on whether to transform an epub to kepub or not. It shouldn't have any effect on other formats in the library, such as kepubs. But, with it disabled, it blocks the renaming of kepubs. That code has been in the driver for at least six years, so it isn't anything new. I do not believe that is correct behaviour. I have changed this in the attached beta I have posted in the extended drivers thread.

For the record, if you turn off the kepub transformation, then you probably should go back to the built-in KoboTouch driver. The other options, such as the hyphenation can be done without this, but, I do not know if the RMSDK based epub reader uses those options.

It was so much text that mobileread wouldn't accept it.

I only want to send some pre-converted kepub ebooks to one Kobo. Mostly I prefer to use the epubs on all the kobos. It's not possible to turn extended features on/off on the fly and in one session I might want to send epubs (as epubs) and kepubs.

I guess many people only use epub or only "extended features on"

Thanks.

Since you are pre-converting the books, using the KTExtended driver is not doing much for you.

Reconnecting and updating Series info works Same books sent as kepub never appear after Eject. Power on/off & repair account doesn't work. Calibre doesn't see the books as already sent when reconnecting. Sending same books then as epub did work. Calibre says Database is OK The actual kepub files are copied to the ereader. Visible in filemanger. Is Calibre Kepub conversion plug-in doing file name correctly? It ends just in kepub.

As far as I am aware, if you have a filename.kepub in your calibre library, it should be renamed to filename.kepub.epub when send to your Kobo. This has nothing to do with the Kepub conversion plugin.

Do you mean the "Kobo extended driver"or Calibre should be renaming it automatically, or I have to rename it after sending or I need to edit some setting in the "Kobo extended driver"? I suspected the filenames needed to end in .kepub.epub, but I thought it strange that I'd have to manually edit them.

Hence, file naming on the device is up to the driver. The built-in KoboTouch driver handles the renaming when sending a kepub from the library. The KoboTouchExtended driver inherits this and hence does exactly the same thing. The renaming of epubs that have been transformed to kepubs by the extended driver is handled separately. In any case, it is working here with either driver. I can't think of a way it could fail. To take a guess, run calibre in debug mode, send a kepub and post the log. Hopefully it will show there.

I'm sending files already converted to kepub, not converting on the fly option. I did it three time, once with 38 and twice with 30 files, ejecting between attempts. The files on the kobo are "/<author>/<title>.kepub", i.e. same names and location as if epub were sent, but with kepub ending. Thanks.

The other David seemed to suggest they shared same code for transfer. Curiously the Kepub icon, unlike PDF & epub icons, has a [?] icon in the select format to transfer window.
