Aha! I have seen this on my Clara. Thought it was due to my clumsy fingers. Now I feel better!

If the SD card issue has been fixed, you won't be seeing the fix because you won't run the current firmware.

I remind Kobo of it occasionally, but, I've pretty much compensated for it. And as annoying as it is, there are plenty of other things I want changed first.
So it really is one more item for the "difference between epub and kepub" list? A minor bug for sure, but one I'm happy not to have to put up with.

the weird thing being all the books are showing on the home screen/working fine, and i don't have to take the card out and put it in again. the message won't go away until i either click on ok or use the x to close it at the top right of the pop up message.
I see that exact problem very occasionally. I just ignore it and wait.

I think it's a race condition under the covers. My guess is that the script that mounts the drive decides to run a filesystem check in the background and exits. Meanwhile, Nickel looks and finds the card not mounted and asks if you want to format it. Meanwhile, the filesystem check has finished and the card is mounted and everything works normally except for the stupid dialog.

Occasionally, it takes longer for it to finish, and the books don't show up. Rebooting always fixes it if I wait long enough first, but I suspect using NickelMenu to retrigger the import books would fix that.

Quick question : do I have to re-install custom hyphenation dictionaries after updating the firmware ?

Yes you do. But, if you patch the firmware, you can install the hyphenation dictionary at the same time. It's what I do.

How about removing the hypen dicts from the patch so it keeps the existing dicts ? Would that work ?

thanks for the info. it doesn't do it every single time, but most of it. what makes it annoying is the message won't go on it's own, i have to either click ok or close it myself otherwise it stays on the screen. on the older 3.16.0 firmware which i still have on another device the same message shows, but disappears after a few seconds.

The hyphenation dictionaries get overwritten when the new firmware is installed. So you need to install the custum ones after every firmware update.
