And yes, it is a bit faster in this version because of the triggers and improved metadata scanning. I might be able to patch nickel to re-read the series metadata on import, but I'm not totally certain if it's possible yet. |

One thing I noticed is that seriesmeta will scan through hidden directories. I know that the logic changed in newer firmwares for nickel to read through hidden folders too, but would it be possible to have a command switch to enable or disable that ability in seriesmeta? It seems inefficient to do if someone is storing epubs in hidden folders to be used in Plato or koreader never intending for it to be used in nickel (in my case, it's problematic epubs that choke nickel, like some Delphi Classics collections). |

No problem. Also keep in mind that you don't have to reboot right away unless you absolutely need the series metadata before your next reboot (it won't cause any issues if you do other stuff in between or run seriesmeta again). Out of curiosity, how large are your books, how many do you have, and how long does it take to scan? I have around 600 on my device at once, and it takes ~30 seconds to scan everything.

I've got 12,000 and a 2.2GB Kobo database running on a 32-bit Intel Clovertrail Atom machine and it takes forever, lol. It's a special CPU that executes slightly differently, I believe, and most of it seems to be CPU bound so that probably explains it.

Hi,
Just a simple question. There is a way to have the .kebub extension (not .kebub.epub) ? I know, i can write a script to convert and rename ... Thanks. |

Why? Unless you are going to add the kepub to calibre, nothing will know what to do with the books. |

Oh, I see. I think I'm going to add this feature for the next version, as it has been a frequent request.

The solution to this is to keep the kepub version directly in the library... But Calibre itself can't do this without milting the epubs through the full conversion process, which will irrevocably change the actual formatting. So an option in your standalone converter to make the files import into Calibre can be of great usability for some folk. |
