Maybe it only happens if both Calibre & the plugin are freshly installed, and the user doesn't touch the column config ever before doing a sync? I've no idea. It's just a mysterious thing that happened once it seems.

I think you're right, it sounds more as an unitialized thing.

Changes in this release:

• Fixed the config dialog not saving individual device backup options correctly

I've been trying to investigate the issue where using the "Update ToC" feature sometimes causes a "unique constraint failed" error, but so far I have not been able to reproduce it. @ownedbycats gave me some pointers about the EpubMerge and FanFicFare plugins, but even when experimenting with them a bit I've been unsuccessful, so clearly I'm missing something.

I'm assuming that the basic reproduction steps required are these:

1. Send version 1 of a book to a device so it gets imported
2. Send version 2 of the book to the device
3. Open the "Update ToC" dialog and click on "Update ToC" button

It would be really helpful if someone could provide the relevant two versions of a book and confirm that the above steps reproduce the issue with the provided book. Thanks!

Did you have Do not treat replacements as new books selected on the 2nd tab of the KoboTouch driver configuration dialog when testing? If not, the version 2 would replace the version 1 including the ToC.

[Majutsushi]

Yes I do have that selected, I'm assuming that's what people who experience the issue use as well. Otherwise as you say everything would be replaced and updating the ToC wouldn't do anything.

Does the ToC actually need updating? Normally I only update ToC when the fic updates. Adding an additional ToC entry should emulate that.

The TOC needs update any time you change the file structure (files and or names) of the replacement. I frequently combine false splits (Velum use of H tags ). If you don't fix the TOC a page turn may fall of the edge because the section no longer exists),

I was finally able to reproduce the issue by enabling the "Flatten table of contents" option in the EpubMerge plugin. So I should be able to investigate this now.

Hello. I have used the plugin to change the covers of books on a Kobo Libra Colour, but although the image dimensions are correct in the Calibre library, when I hover the mouse cursor over the book covers on the device, the resolution displayed is much lower. For example, a cover that I have at 780x1200 pixels is approximately 500x800 in the book. I have tried deleting the book covers from the Kobo and sending the covers using the plugin, but there is no way to maintain the resolution. Any suggestions? Thank you.

You might want to remember that your Kobo stores the covers with 3 different resolutions plus the cover image stored in the ebook. Since your Libra Colour does not have a mouse, I'm assuming that you are looking at the book covers using calibre.

If I look at the .kobo-images directory on my KLC, each book has 3 images which for me show as shown in the image below (I renamed the files to *.jpg). These files are generated from the cover image during the import process. When I look at the details in device view of a book, I see the resolution corresponding to the N3_LIBRARY_FULL.parsed image.
