You can use the "Highlights" view (the default is the "Books" view). It shows only the books with highlights there.

Edit: Just noticed that there is also a "Highlights" column in the "Books" view, that displays the number of the highlights in every book, that you can sort the books by..

Ah yes, I see it now! You have to move the bottom scroll bar across.
That works!

This app is so awesome for research - it would be amazing if it had SEARCH

For example I could find all the highlights referring to a certain topic...paper....case.

Maybe in a future version.. ;-)

[embryo]

Ok. Next version will have a filtering system that searches in highlights, comments, titles or all of them for keywords..

[embryo]

• Updated to v1.6.0.0
  • New toolbar button "Filter" to filter the current view's items by searching for keywords in Highlights and/or Comments and/or Book titles..
  • Added an arrow to the "Archived" view button, to invoke a drop-down menu with actions for the Archive database (other than right-clicking on it)
  • Problem when exporting highlights from books with very long filenames (Github issue here).</li>

A question: When I plug my Kobo Sage in and start KoHighlights, the Scan directory icon has a mouseover text that says "can also be the eReader's root directory.(Ctrl +L)" but pressing that key combo does absolutely nothing at all. Every time, I have click on the Scan Directory icon then navigate to the Kobo's root directory. How do I use this keyboard shortcut?

Like you're trying to, but, after I fix this annoying bug that I missed..
Hopefully in the next release..

And a question of my own now..

On what platform you're seeing only half of the tooltip?
It's suppose to be close to this:



Anyway, thank you for the heads up..

Thanks for the bugfix, and apologies for my misleading post. Typing is difficult for me, I do as little as possible, so only typed the last part of the tooltip, the bit relevant to my query. It appears exactly as in your screenshot

Just want to say again how incredibly useful this is for researchers and students of every kind !

THANKYOU !

[embryo]

I'm glad that its helpful..

• Updated to v1.7.0.0
  • Export highlights as markdown files.
  • Chapter title is available as part of the highlight data.
  • The document path from the metadata is used to locate the book if the .sdr folder is in the "DocSettings" directory of KOReader.
  • Fixed: "Scan Directory" and "About" shortcuts weren't working.

Would it be possible to create a portable version of the "KOHighlights"?

Thank you!

KOReader has a simpler alternative - Export highlights plugin

Yes, I could.
Probably with the next release..😉

Edit: It's done, but unfortunately only for Windows, since I'm not familiar with the Linux environment.
So, next release it is..

• Updated to v1.7.1.0
  • This is a Windows only release that adds a portable mode for... Windows.
    When KOHighlights runs in Portable mode, will use a portable_settings directory to store its settings, that is located inside the installation directory of the app.
    Because of this, it is advised to not install the app inside the Program Files folder if you indent to use it as portable.
    There are two ways to start the app in Portable mode:
    • Run the KoHighlights Portable.exe that is located next to the KoHighlights.exe.
    • Run KoHighlights.exe with a -p argument. E.g. create a shortcut for the KoHighlights.exe and add a space and a -p argument at the end of the target filename.
