I'd forgotten about that. I do have a few strangely named backups. The way I test these is to swap the ids around so the one of the devices I have gets called whatever I'm testing. I've forgotten and looked in the backup directory and was baffled for a few moments.

In any case, the code has been changed, checked in and accepted. It will be in the next release.

No problem, I can live without the database backup for now. I'll wait for the next release

And it works

One thing, though, when I start Calibre and connect my One for the first time, it still gets recognized (at least that's what the message shows; Kobo Utilities gets passed the correct type for the autobackup) as a generic Kobo. If I then eject it and reconnect it without restarting Calibre, the message correctly identifies it as a One.

But that's the same way my H2O behaved (and perhaps even my Aura HD before that), so that's been there for a while. And I've always ignored it, but now that I have your ear

This report in the Kobo forum is of an error in the extended driver. The problem is that the apsw library doesn't have a commit method. These have to be done as an SQL statement. So any:

Code:

db.commit()

need to be replaced with:

Code:

cursor.execute("commit")

FYI SQLITE by default (and apsw since it tries to stay as close to sqlite as possible) works in auto-commit mode. So unless you explicitly open a transaction every execute is auto-committed.

Yes, I'd forgotten about that. I removed a pile of commits when I changed to apsw as they weren't going to be needed. In this particular place, I could see committing separately might be a good idea, but it also needs a transaction to be opened first.

TIL autocommit by default, thanks

Having IO errors on my device, I discovered a typo on line 199 of device/driver.py:

Code:

            if os.path.isfile:

should be

Code:

            if os.path.isfile(calibre_details_file):

I use KoboTouchExtended (2.8.0) but still chose to send the books to the Kobo Glo in the epub format (feel safer about annotations).

I upgraded to Calibre 2.68.0 and now the books are being sent as kepub files, can't seem to find where to change this, or where I can pick which way one to send. If I try to open the configuration for KoboTouchExtended, I get this error.

Spoiler:

For now I solved the practical aspect of it by disabling the plugin.

jgoguen · 09-19-2016, 12:08 PM

Oh that's cute! I'm not sure how it worked for me… :/

Give me a little bit to push an update.

I think this one is for davidfor. That line in my code is just calling a method in his, and the specific line has a setting I don't touch. It's possible there's a bug in migrating old settings though, could you check the plugin settings and make sure everything looks good? Then either way, make some change, click OK, then go back in and set it back the way you want, see if it still causes an error?

Your right, it is in my code. And it does look like a setting migration gone wrong. But, it is while opening the configuration, so fixing it that way won't work.

@percio: As jgoguen has pointed out, this is in the base KoboTouch driver. Something has gone wrong with migrating the configuration. This usually means the last time you changed the configuration was a very long time ago. I don't really think there is going to be a good way to fix this, and it won't be until at least the next version of calibre. The simplest thing is to delete the configuration file and start again. This is in the calibre configuration directory and is called "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED.py".

But, I would like a debug log to look at to see if I can solve it. Before doing the above, can you restart calibre in debug mode, try to open the configuration and see the error. Then close calibre and post the debug log. Or, PM it to me as it isn't really an in this plugin.

Okay, I'll send you the PM, backup that configuration file and see what happens.
Update: renamed the file to device_drivers_KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED.bak and now I can access the configuration of the plugin again.

I'm confused though, is there a way to have this plugin enabled and send epubs (not kepubs) to the Kobo? Sorry, I installed it long ago and I forgot which does which.
