[GUI Plugin] Goodreads Sync

[anjinash]

Same thing is happening to me on a Windows 11 PC, so it's clearly affecting multiple operating systems. Hoping for a fix soon, this is wreaking havoc on my e-book workflow.

That seems to have worked. Thanks!

Release Notes
https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr..._sync-v1.16.12

RECOVER_PARSER removed from Calibre, see #131

I've been in touch with kiwidude, he's swamped right now. So I'm putting these fixes up in my capacity as his backup.

WARNING: I don't use Goodreads, so I haven't tested this change beyond 'Calibre starts without error'. Report if problems.

Thanks, JSWolf, for stepping up in the interim.

I've got the rest of this plugin configured correctly, but Reading Progress is the only one not updating for me on a Sync from my Read shelf.

Can someone tell me if I've got my column configured correctly?






EDITED TO ADD: I just found another post in this thread here where someone was asking if the reading progress sync was bidirectional or not, but the response was unsure, thinking it might only be one way. If that's the case, can you make this into a bi-directional sync @kiwidude?

I don't personally use this feature, but you can try the documentation to see if that helps, I did write a section for this feature:
https://github.com/kiwidude68/calibr...Goodreads-Sync

So long as you have a column type of Integers which you do that should be correct. My test library column doesn't have the formatting stuff on it, once you have eliminated any other possible issues from the instructions you could try without to see if that makes a difference.

Never going to happen. Bidirectional sync is a curse - which side is "correct"? Either make Calibre your golden source and use the Add to Shelf option, or use Goodreads as your golden source and use Sync from Shelves. You don't mix/match.

Thanks for this release goes to albyofdoom who submitted a bunch of enhancements to the Sync from Goodreads Shelf feature.

• Checkboxes for selective syncing
• Column order changes for easier comparison
• Color highlighting for mismatched data

I don't personally use this feature so have no input on whether the changes are all good or more tweaks required - I leave that to people to feedback on.
