Nook via LTSP, looks like a USB disk, no cover art JPEGs

rbroberts · 08-24-2011, 03:15 AM

I'm connecting my Nook via the Linux Terminal Server Project client, so the Nook is treated like a USB hard drive that is then mounted via fuse across the network to the server. I can "connect to folder" to get my books onto the Nook, but I notice when it does so it does not create a separate JPEG for the cover art. Is there some way to tell calibre to do this, overriding the behavior so it will treat this just as if the Nook were locally connected?

not without editing the source code. See devices/folder/*.py

Hmmm. Okay, if I'm reading this correctly, I need to implement upload_cover. It would be nice if I could figure out how to make that a configurable parameter to be nice to people who don't want this done. But I'm not a python person, so while I can read the code from the drivers, I'm pretty fuzzy on whether or not copying the nook code will work. Of course, I guess the good news there is that I can try it on a regular folder where I can't do any damage to my nook files :-)
