How do I tell CC to automatically delete news sent by calibre?
One feature of calibre is its ability to download news from many providers on the internet. When you set up a news download, you can tell calibre how many days to keep the "books" that the news download produces. In addition, you can tell calibre to automatically send news books to a device when that device connects. In CC's case, this transfer will happen any time CC connects as a wireless device, either manually or using CC's automatic connection option.
As of CC V3.6.8, CC can mimic calibre's automatic delete after some number of days. To do this, go to CC's settings and scroll to near the bottom, looking for the "Delete older news" option. Tap that option to see the three settings that CC needs:
It could be that you want to keep books from different news sources for different numbers of days. CC will check for a special tag on the news book to determine if the time-before-delete is different. To set up a different delay, in calibre:
CC logs automatic deletion successes and failures to the autoconnect log. You can see this log by going to CC's Settings, scrolling down to Wireless Device Connection, then tapping View automatic connection log. Last edited by chaley; 05-26-2015 at 06:25 AM. |

Problems with syncing read positions in reader apps like Moon+
Several reader apps such as Moon+ have the ability to sync where you are in a book between multiple devices. They usually do this using a cloud provider such as Dropbox, storing the position in a small file in the cloud.
One problem: the book must have the same file name on every device for syncing to succeed. This can be problematic when using CC because by default the file name used for wireless device, content server, and cloud connections can be different. To solve this problem, see the answer How can I use the same file name for all three connection types? Last edited by chaley; 06-23-2015 at 09:24 AM. |

What can I use in a CC file name template?
CC file name templates are similar to calibre templates. You can use some column names, a prefix, and a suffix, and printf-style format specifications. An if-then-else construct is available to support conditional text; this construct is not supported by calibre. It does not support template functions.

What is MultiPie's privacy policy regarding CC?
Some cloud providers require us to have a privacy policy, so here it it.
All your base are belong to us. You have no chance to survive. Make your time. Ha Ha Ha. Well, OK, that isn't our policy, but our real policy is almost as simple. Calibre Companion (CC) does not share any customer information with MultiPie or any other entity without the user taking explicit action. CC does not report to any entity, human or corporate, what books are in your library, when you connect, what you read, or how you categorize and manage your books. However, CC has no control over other apps or systems you might use as a consequence of using CC. For example, connecting to your calibre library shares information with calibre. Reading a book shares information with the reader app. Putting your library in the cloud shares that information with the cloud provider, and accessing your information in the cloud shares that access information with the cloud provider. A particular case: sending a CC debug log to MultiPie shares information with us about how you have been using CC. MultiPie will not use that information for any use other than to provide support to the user who sent the log and to fix bugs in CC. The debug logs are deleted as soon as the problem is resolved. |

Can CC connect to my library stored in the cloud?
Yes, beginning with CC Version 4.1 you can browse and download books stored in Dropbox, Microsoft OneDrive, Amazon Cloud Drive, and Box. CC provides an interface very much like the current CC Content Server interface.
For more information see the CC Cloud FAQ section. |

Why does CC warn against using Google Drive?
Calibre puts a unique identifier at the end of some folder and file names to ensure that it can store different books having the same title and author. Unfortunately, Google Drive uses numbers at the end of a file name to indicate conflicting versions. Because of this, Google Drive can (and does) change the calibre identifier to some other number, ensuring that calibre can no longer find the book. From calibre's point of view, the books are lost. This is not an academic concern. It has happened to many people's libraries, including our own.
For more information see the thread WARNING - Google Drive Incompatible with Calibre! in the calibre forum. |
