But where do the blacklisted are seen?
Why did I read this thing by chance and who instead does not read it how do you know?

Just a comment: Please, in the next release, it would be nice to say that, if you have KoboTouchExtended plugin activated and install this release, when you connect your Kobo calibre won't detect it....

That's not the case anymore as calibre will detect when you have KTE activated and the builtin driver disabled and automatically disable KTE and enable the builtin one. This will be in the next preview.

Ok, as I was using the last one, and it was 7AM, it has taken me time to discover it

Released version 7.6.102 with major changes:

1) Update bundled Qt to 6.8.2 (the current latest Qt version)
2) Connect to Folder now optionally allows connecting to the specified folder as a specific (USBMS based) device

Kobo is not loading. I ran debug:

I try disabling a "user-defined USB driver" in the plugins but did nothing (I think maybe not related). I reverting for now.

My initial quick test showed that the trailing / fix now present in the preview build works; mounting my Kobo (clone) directory now works as expected (and even Kobo Utilities is happy).

Version 7.26.102 also contains a change due to the different cover image filenames, tolino readers use since firmware version 5.6.209315.

Without this change, tolinos would create another file (with a dot in it) parallel to the one created by Calibre. There would then be two cover images, such as

• file____mnt_onboard_Books_Der_Sturm_-_Vernichtet_-_Karen_Sander_epub (Calibre)
• file____mnt_onboard_Books_Der_Sturm_-_Vernichtet_-_Karen_Sander.epub (Tolino)

With 7.26.102, there should only be the file including the dot.

Perhaps some tolino (shine5 / shine color / vision color) users could have a look at it. Does it work as expected?

Thanks. What are the other fixes/improvements? Running from source is slower, so would prefer sticking to 101 unless there's something else.

[kovidgoyal]

Nothing major, feel free to stay with 101

Can we please have a 7.6.103 preview release? 102 is no good as it won't work with my Libra 2.

Out of curiosity, what is blocking you from reverting to 7.26.101?
