Free code? I have no objections to that

I meant to add dismissing the new and finished tiles, but hadn't gotten around to it. And nobody has complained.

I wonder if there would be any point to add the ability to remove book / new and/or book / finished tiles explicitly?

The dismiss current tiles code gets run when the trigger gets created. So, I will dismiss the new and finished book tiles.

I was actually thinking (if possible) of the two being separate choices; I assumed that within the activity table would be an indication of whether a book was newly added or finished, and was kind of hoping that the ability might exist to remove either of those substates.

The Activity table doesn't hold the information. But, I already have the trigger that will do this and can put them as "Finished" and "New" as separate options.

Hello, and thanks for all the work done to this plug-in.

I have a little bug encountered since version 2.0, I lose the coordinate system of the table of contents.

I'm with the last caliber, the latest version of the plug-in and this bug persists.

Everything else works perfectly.

Thank you.

[jgoguen]

Can you explain that better? What do you mean by the "coordinate system of the table of contents"?

[jgoguen]

The next update (I'm not sure when exactly) is going to have a few changes to the options. So, please take note of what options you have selected as you will most likely find that you'll need to update your selected options!

First, the three database trigger options (the last three options) are going away, in favour of being moved into the Kobo Utilities plugin. It's unlikely that this update will coincide with an update to Kobo Utilities adding those options, but as far as I'm aware they're being added and based on how Kobo Utilities adds triggers I expect it to be better than how I was handling it.

Second, the option to delete files not in the manifest is going away. When I had my own OEB Container implementation, it was fairly trivial to do this at the same time as I was processing files in the ePub. Now with calibre's standard implementation being used, it's not so easy to do and it seems to me that it's more work than it's really worth considering it's really for technical accuracy and didn't give a noticeable improvement in most cases.

Third, the location of the reference KePub file is changing. Right now, the directions tell you to find calibre's configuration directory, go to the 'plugins' folder, and put reference.kepub.epub in the 'KoboTouchExtended' directory. With the next update, 'KoboTouchExtended' won't be used and reference.kepub.epub should be put directly in the 'plugins' folder.

As part of this, for those of you who have been asking for a way to generate KePub files without having a Kobo device attached, I'm working on an output format plugin for calibre's conversion process.

Version 2.01 the marks in front of the chapters was not good.

Now 2.02 he puts the brand always at the beginning of the table of the chapters.

If I click on a chapter it me sent to the good chapter in this version.

But if I ask again access to the list of chapter, the sign is placed not to the chapter that I read, but at the beginning of the list.

I read books in the French language, before the 2.0 I not this little bug.

In 2.01 putting the brand not the good chapter in the list of chapter of the kobo.

If you want I can put you in mp a book.

Did you resend a book that was already on the device? Between the way the device handles the books and the changes in the driver, you will probably need to delete the book from the device and send it as a new book.

I'll check it, but this has happened to me with different plugin versions, and I think it's related to the book structure, it's not something general.

[jgoguen]

If you can, submit a bug report with a book attached that causes the issue, and please mark the bug private if the book is under copyright. The language of the book isn't important as long as you can tell me what chapter to select and what text I'm looking for.

If it is related to the structure of the ePub then any information about what causes it or another ePub file that also demonstrates the same problem would be appreciated.

@Jgoguen


I'll take the time to test everything.

I will remove all books, then put back them in the appliance.

And I'll test with different structures of chapters of my epubs.

If there is always this concern, I will do as you tell me.

[jgoguen]

Don't do all of your books yet, we don't know what the issue is and I'd rather not have you waste time reloading all of your books without any need to do so. Just test the one book that's giving you problems, create a bug report with as much detail as you can give me and attach the book and mark it Private. Once I can take a look at the book, then I can get a better idea of where the issue may be. Terisa de morgan thinks it may be related to the book structure, which is why I want to know about the book structure. If you aren't sure about this, it sounds like Terisa has an idea and can explain as best they can.

I don't have an idea, I have three books (as an example), all of them sent with the same driver, two have an OK TOC and one is stuck in the first entry in the toc. So, I don't think it's the version of the plugin.
