Just a quick note. The current Calibre beta is 5.1.2.

Also, the released version is working here with the 5.1.1 beta. Or at least the portable version of the beta.

Sorry about that but by the time I saw your message, I had already updated to the 5.1.1 beta so the install went okay.

I figured as much. I'll leave the beta there in case someone does want to try it with 5.1.0. The released version of the plugins work with the beta, unless something comes up, I think I'll leave it at that.

Just wanted to note, I tried the beta version 2 on calibre 5.1.0 and it successfully installed for me. Finally. Thanks a bunch!

Hello Everyone,
I installed the Beta 2 plugin witn Calibre 5.1.0 : It works fine for me.
It runs under Windows 10 Entreprise 64 Bits.

Thank you all for work.

paulfiera · 10-05-2020, 04:42 AM

Confirmed.

The beta 2 plugin installs fine on Calibre 5.1

Many thanks, davidfor!

Confirmed as well. Runs under Windows 10, 64 bit.

Calibre version 5.2 has been released. This will fix the problem with this and the other Kobo or kepub related plugins. The current released versions of the plugin will work.

ownedbycats · 10-07-2020, 01:47 PM

I installed Calibre 5.2.0 and it didn't remove my driver this time!

ownedbycats · 10-07-2020, 08:07 PM

I ran into a really strange issue. I set up Collections and got it working but for some reason the Im_Reading column keeps duplicating itself whenever I click the book in device view. It seems harmless and it went away when I re-connected the Kobo. But now I'm curious what's going on.

Also manually adding a collection to already-uploaded books didnt seem to work. I re-uploaded the ones I'm not currently reading and then manually fixed the other ones on the Kobo itself.

I don't know is happening. If it happens again, report it and I will look into it.

How did you manually add the collection? If you are trying to edit via the collections column in the device list, that doesn't change anything on the device. If you are changing the values in one of your collection columns in the library, you should disconnecting and reconnecting the device to update the collections on the device.

ownedbycats · 10-07-2020, 09:04 PM

Yeah I tried to edit the Collections column on the device. I didn't realize that wouldn't work.

New version posted, the conversion process is now multi-threaded. Translations are now hosted here on Transifex, please contribute translations for any languages you're fluent in!

I saw people posting about problems with my plugins on calibre 5.0 and 5.1. I haven't been able to reproduce that, and people are reporting they all work on calibre 5.2, so please update to calibre 5.2 if you haven't already.

I also finally compared my conversion code to Kepubify and we seem to have essentially the same core process. Considering that, I'd like to consider cases where this plugin has different behaviour from a Kepubify-processed calibre book as a potential bug. If you use calibre to do an ePub-to-ePub conversion and Kepubify produces a book based on that processed ePub book which has different behaviour than this plugin produces, I'd like to know about it and have a copy of the converted ePub, the KePub from this plugin, and the KePub from Kepubify.

This will most likely be the last release which supports Python 2 (calibre 4.x)! Any future releases will not be tested against calibre 4.x, and version 4.0 of this plugin will have all Python 2 compatibility removed. I don't have any solid plan for when that will be, I may release minor or bug-fix updates to version 3.3 (especially if people find problems with this release!), but any future 3.x releases won't be tested against calibre 4.x.

Has the code for enabling hyphenation been fixed as mentioned in the kepubify thread? Also, when you do fix the hyphenation code, can you make it so the line that limits the number of successive hyphens be removed or an option added to remove it? Thanks.

jgoguen · 10-10-2020, 08:03 PM

The hyphenation code is updated, but no option yet to change specific properties. I'll see what I can come up with though.
