[GUI Plugin] Kobo Utilities

[Majutsushi]

There are multiple features that don't work for sideloaded books even though the database entries seem to be correct, for example related books. There seems to be some kind of check the firmware does to decide what features to enable, but it's not clear from anything I've seen what that check is and if it's possible to trick it. I doubt it's the difference between UUIDs and paths for ContentIDs. Even if it were it would be difficult to fix since the entries are created by the firmware's import process, and changing all the content IDs to UUIDs with some kind of Calibre or plugin feature is likely going to have some unexpected side effects.

I tried that once renaming an ePub to a Kobo UUID style title and moving it into the .kobo/kepub folder and mucking around in the databases. No joy from doing this and my other efforts at mucking around in the databases.

Changes in this release:

• The automatic reading location sync now creates a simple log that can be accessed from the config dialog
• Always make sure to have exclusive database access when restoring backup if the Calibre version supports it

The new log feature is meant to answer questions such as "why is my device not syncing" and "what did just get synced" without having to create a debug log that is difficult to interpret for most people and can only be created by repeating the action. I hope this makes it easier for people to understand what is going on without having to ask for help.
