Hello!
My wife wants to sort her book collection on her Kindle (PW2 v5.4.2) so I installed this little Addon and the Plugin for Calibre. But I have a problem: Let's say I want to do this: Root -- ---- > Harry Potter Books -> --------------------------------> GermanHP --> LotsOfGermanBooks* --------------------------------> EnglishHP --> LotsOfEnglishBooks* Then I have a collection "Harry Potter Books" on my Kindle (with the GermanHP / EnglishHP Sub-Collections). This is good. BUT I also see those GermanHP / EnglishHP "sub-collections" on my Kindle "Root Menu". But they only should appear in the Harry Potter Books Collection. If I "hide" them via the eye-icon, they disappear everywhere. What am I doing wrong? And one more thing: How can I remove a book from a collection? If I try to move it from a collection to root then it does not go away from the collection... Thank you! Last edited by cybtrash; 04-06-2022 at 10:14 AM. |

You can only have one level of collections. You cannot create a tre type structure like you can with directories.

EDIT: I just found out, the root cause is my version 5.4.2. Collections manager with nested collections works only till 5.4.0. I'll have to downgrade. Last edited by cybtrash; 04-06-2022 at 11:01 AM. |

Hi, all,
I confirm that the plugin works perfectly on a KOA3 running 5.13.7. Both methods (LibrarianSync and CalibreCollections) is able to load the json file created by the CC plugin in Calibre. Collections are not nested and not synced to the cloud so far (a couple of hours). Will update if sync happens after all. |

how do I make this plugin stop modifying existing collections?, i have a book, I put it in collection A, I run the plugin, I go to my kindle, I upgrade collections using librariansync (i use update not rebuild), things are ok, I delete book from calibre becuase I don't want to have the same book twice, next time I need to upload a book I run plugin from calibre (book in collection A no longer in calibre) another book also in collection A, previous book not longer in collection A and new book is ok. The thing that has stopped me from finding why is that it doesn't do this always, sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't.

Hello, I have just bought a Kindle Paperwhite.
Firmware version is 5.15.1 Is there any way to jailbreak it and install Collection Manager in my device? Thanks! |

I am running a PW3 with firmware v5.13.7 jailbroke with watchthis. I am able to run KUAL, so assume (maybe incorrectly?) that the kindlet kit is installed and working correctly? I have copied the CollectionsManager.azw3 file to the Documents directory on the kindle, right next to KUAL. When I go to the Library, KUAL shows up (and can run) but there is no entry at all for CollectionsManager. Is there a reason why it's not showing up that I might ne missing?

Also, Kindlets (.azw3 files you put in the documents folder) show up in the library with other books and files, not in KUAL. |

Yeah... I knew that the kindlet should show u in the Library. I was under the impression that KUAL was a kindlet as well and since it ran, the other one should too. Still learning here. So... I see that there is a downgrade option for KUAL. Would I be able to downgrade to a firmware version that COULD run kindlets? Or would I be able to run LibrarianSync with what I have? |

I neither have experience with LibrarianSync, nor with downgrading, but it should certainly be possible to downgrade to an older frameware to use it. |

PW3 can run as low as 5.6.x, so if you downgrade to 5.8.11 or lower it will run kindlets. |

I appreciate it. I got LibrarianSync installed last night and it seems to be working great, so ... for now I'll stick with this, but... if down the road, I did decide to downgrade... where would one look to find said firmwares?
