@kpw: use the strptime function from sony_cache.py its locale neutral which is needed for users with a non english locale.

Thank you very much for the tip. I suspect this should fix up the problem that ThR is experiencing (I'll be posting the update and ask for verification of course).

The problem you're seeing now is a result of some new code I added in 1.0.3 to fix up a date sorting problem I found when testing the last set of changes I made. So that's why 1.0.2 still works for you (but the date sorting will be wonky in that version). Thanks to some help from kovidgoyal, I've got an update that should fix things up for you. Can I ask you to give the attached plugin a try and verify if that is the case or not? I won't post an official update until I can be sure it's working. Thanks again for all your help! |

I've posted version 1.0.5 with a DST fix.
Here in Canada (or at least in my part of Canada), daylight savings time kicked in last weekend, and subsequently, I started noticing that my plugin was not setting the book timestamp in the cache correctly. I've added the logic to account for DST when I set the timestamp. NOTE: You may not notice any behaviour changes using the previous version if you don't use the Sony driver "Use author sort for author" setting. If you do have this setting enabled, you'll probably notice with plugin 1.0.4 that the author value for books placed on the Books List will have regressed to the Sony standard "FN LN" form. This update fixes that. |

@KPW - the problem I desribed first is back again -I connect the reader to the computer - calibre does its thing, after that I start your plugin. Then I disconnect the device: the 3 books are set, but all collections are gone. ????????
Next time connecting the device to calibre, calibre resets the collections. So no problem, but very mysterious. |

If you can get the problem to happen after launching Calibre in debug mode using the "calibre-debug -g" command from a command line, then you might see some error messages in the command line console. That might help me to track this down. In the mean time, I'll see what I can come up with... |

I tried with calibre-debug - but there are no errors to see. Is there a possibility to see "more", e.g. in a log-file with another startup-parameter?
ADD - not only the collections are gone, even the information about the last read page in the book I'm reading is gone. ADD2 - I think, I have found something: you know, I'm using german calibre and the german user interface within the device; in media.xml I found "german" dates within the three books your plugin has choosen. "date="Fr, 18 Mrz 2011 08:15:02 GMT" tz="-60"" instead of "date="Fri, 18 Mar 2011 08:15:02 GMT" tz="-60"" The second difference is the "tz"-parameter. The other books have 300 as value, the three books choosen have -60. But as I don't know the intent of this parameter - this could be volitional. Last edited by ThR; 03-18-2011 at 04:24 AM. |

Posted version 1.1.0 with the following changes:
Please note the new minimum Calibre level requirement (i.e. 0.7.53). Also, although my testing has come out clean, there have been some significant internal changes made in the plugin, so I can't gaurantee that some new bugs may have crept in. Please let me know if you run into any issues. Thanks. |

OK, I did the test: it works fine, but...
... I have to correct the timezone-setting in the media.xml-file on the device after using the plugin. The plugin is setting the timezone of the three selected books with the timezone-information of the PC (in my case tz="-120" [meaning MEST]) instead of the timezone of the reader (TZ="300" [meaning EST]). The three books will not be shown at the homescreen until correcting the three entries within an editor (search -120, replace with 300). |
