BTW: in the last post I said series searches were seriously broken. It is worse than that. Somehow I didn't put the series name into the metadata stored in CC. I will make a new release tomorrow that fixes it.

2. I do not think storing the downloaded book in the CC library is a good idea as for example everybody uses different ways to store the books in the library, when they got send from Calibre to the device with CC. For example i store series "_series/_series-number - title" other books with no series "author/title - author". Solution would be to use/import the same template for that as in Calibre. Further I do not know if than Calibre recognizes the downloaded book on the device as "on device" when connecting them both. |

No. I mean using CC as it was designed, as a library manager. You find the book in CC and launch the reader app from there.

The problem of filenames has been in the CC content server connection for years. It seems that most users do not care, but some do. CC Cloud uses the same naming algorithm used by CC content server (title - author) or the book's UUID (if set in settings). If the user checks the setting "Use calibre file names" (an option added last year IIRC) then in many (but most assuredly not all) cases the content server can get access to the template. This is not possible for CC Cloud. Implementing calibre's template language in CC is far too hard especially for the limited benefit, so the general solution of "copy calibre's template" is not available. I am willing to consider a small subset of the language, for example templates that contain constant text and the following substitution variables:
Some notes:
As an alternative to the above, I could add an option forcing CC Cloud to ask you where to put the book in CC's library. That would give you total control, but it would also mean that "Download all" would need to be permanently disabled because no user interaction is possible. Quote:

Could people who are interested in how CC generates file names take a look at this thread?

Testing with OneDrive.
I used mover.io to copy my /CalibreLibrary from GoogleDrive to OneDrive. I had problems with the login screen, would not allow me to paste a password. I ended up logging in via Chrome ahead of time, then when CC launches the login URL it's already logged in and asks permission for CC to access OneDrive. Whenever I touch Connect -> to Cloud, I get this error under the Choose calibre library folder: Something has gone wrong. Operation Ignored. The current path is shown as "/", and it not touchable (nothing happens), so I cannot edit it. The Up/Back button the busy circle animation goes for a couple seconds, and then I get the same "Something has gone wrong. Operation Ignored." error. I tried resetting the cloud connection, made no difference. In the debug log, the error appears to be: 2015-06-21 10:12:49.314: FolderGetter doInBackground retrofit.RetrofitError: com.a.b.q: java.lang.NumberFormatException: Expected an int but was 6841330816 at line 1 column 770 path $.value[0].size I have emailed you the debug log adding the text "OneDrive problem" to the end of the subject. |

I can't manage to authorize on LTE. I was getting the same problem on wifi. Let me know if you want the debug log.

Installed the latest version.
- Switching between different databases works nice. Suggestion: Can you add the feature that CC remembers the paths between the different Databases and remember their name, like Calibre does? It would be easier to switch between them (of course you have to disconnect and connect again as now). Also i see that CC Cloud stores only the last database accessed on the device. Perhaps it may be better to store the different databases in sub-folders (names of database). So it would also quicker for CC cloud to check if database was changed in the cloud instead of downloading it again. |

6GB is the size of the entire folder, all files combined. So I assume instead of the count of files, it's a total byte count for a folder's contents. |

The next release will fix the "size" field that is causing the problem (increase from 32 bits to 64 bits). I apologize that I won't be able to make the release for a day or so because I am in the middle of other changes that must be finished. |

I have considered doing authentication inside a "webview" (a small dedicated web browser) inside CC so that no device web browser would be involved. This would eliminate the redirection problem and the "what should be used to finish" dialog, at the cost of not keeping authentication cookies or saved passwords. In other words, you would need to log in again every time you clear cloud connection information. What do you think? NB: I asked on the Dropbox forum if there was any way to use the Dropbox app to authenticate and give permissions without using their SDK, something that is an even better solution. Nobody has answered. That might change when Monday happens on the west coast of the US. We will see. Last edited by chaley; 06-21-2015 at 04:04 PM. Reason: semantic corrections |

Storing multiple copies of the database is possible. Currently the db is stored in a folder named for the cloud provider, e.g., "dropbox/db. It could probably be named something like "provider/path.with.slashes.changed.to.dots/db. If I can do this without breaking everything then I will. Note that it will still check the db on connect to be sure that the local copy is correct. |
