[GUI Plugin] Kobo Utilities

[SkyleafCreations]

Hi I have a Kobo Libra (2 I think) and I keep getting this error when using the

Update metadata in device library option. Can anyone help me sort this out. Keep in mind I do not understand code or computer speak at all.
Thanks

That is your Libra2 DB. You can restore if you used KU to backup the DB or sign out on the device, then sign back in.
Note you will lose some of your reading status

Changes in this release:

• Improved backup and restore features to be more robust, especially when using Chromebooks.
• Give a more helpful error message when the plugin detects that the database is corrupt.

Hello, updated to 2.27.0 today and now have the following issue.
When connecting my Kobo I get message :

calibre, version 9.3.0 (win32, embedded-python: True)
Failed to back up device database: Failed: Backing up Kobo device database

[WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'C:\\Temp\\calibre-tplut7l8\\koboutilities-backup-adeqgo9r\\.kobo\\KoboReader.sqlite'

Checking my folders it appears that a database backup was in fact backed-up

Then after using Device > Eject this device my kobo is not disconnected from Win11 and cannot be (saying device still in use despite Calibre shutdown 7 no other windows open. Disconnecting cable lets books get added and dbase appears OK

I have the same issue with my KLC.
As far as I can see, the zip file has been created, and the db backed up in my selected folder, though.

Ugh, sorry, Windows always creates problems. I'll have a look when I'm back from work. It looks like this is just about cleanup of a temporary database used during the backup though, so things should still mostly work.

From a quick comparison between the backup it did now vs the backups it did before the update, I can't see any difference.

Message error aside, it seems everything is working correctly on my side.

I'm having the exact same error as the other ones after latest update

[Majutsushi]

Changes in this release:

• Fixed an error on Windows when cleaning up after creating a backup.

Just FYI, I had the same error mentioned above with v2.27.0, and after updating to this fix the error is gone. Good work, and thanks for being so quick about it!

That has sorted it, thank you
