[GUI Plugin] Reading Goal

[ownedbycats]

Also, while this isn't a huge priority, it would be nice to be able to change the colours in the Edit Reading Goal window.

Question, that I'm sure it has already been answered but I haven't found it . I've got a column that it's reading percentage. Could I add a book to the goal only if the column is greater than zero?

No. You can add books with any value in this column.
If it's 'Undefined' or '0', then the book goes to the 'Want to read' shelf. If it is between '0' and '100', then it to goes to 'Reading' or 'Rereading', depending on the case. And books with '100' always go to the 'Read' shelf.

Also, the 'Date' column can be 'Undefined' if the reading progress is less than '100'. If it reaches '100', then you need to set the date, otherwise the plugin can't put it in a month (used in 'Statistics' dialog).

Thank you, I was thinking that but I wanted to check.

Question: To get around some weird sorting on Kobo, I occasionally set my lastread of all the unreads to something like 2000-01-01. Then I restore that date to Kobo to make the unreads sort at the bottom of the list. When that's done I clear the dates.

Will this make any log entries in RG? I'm not changing the percentread, just the date.

Edit: I tested with just one book and it seems not. Maybe only if its the same year, or if the percentread changes.

No. Only a change to the reading progress will add a new record.

Yeah!





Edit:

All my books from 2023 suddenly have 23.03.2023 as reading date.
After deleting them and re-adding they still have 23.03.2023

2019 has 04.01.2019, rest is ok

Oh, god! I must have broken something.
Is the 2019 record really wrong? To me looks like it only affected 2023.
I'll investigate this right now.

P.S.: Found the bug. Indeed it was just for the current year. And will be automatically corrected by the new version.

Thank you @thiago, but I'm not in a hurry

And yes, 2019 is really wrong

Just to be sure: ALL your books from 2019 have the same date and they differ from the value in you calibre library? How many books?

I'm really intrigued, because the bug was only for the current year. As matter of fact, past year's books are never updated after you add them.

Version 1.1.5 - 16 Sep 2023

If have forgotten to add 2019 and added them after today's PI update. That's maybe the reason.

Edit:
I deleted 2019 again, updated to 1.1.5 and re-added books --> still the same date for all
(35 books with different date, but the first three books I read on 04.01.2019)

2023 got automatically repaired.

Can you please describe the steps to add the 2019 books?

If you select more than one book, and set a date (let's say 04.01.2019), all the books are going to be added with this date. That's expected. Now, if you added one by one, with different dates, and they still have the same date, then we have a problem.

But I'm not seeing this here.
