Does CC's calibre driver support two-way syncing?
I have CC on iOS and the only fields that are editable are the _is_read_ and _last_read_date_.
1. Is there a reason CC does not support editing of other fields? 2. In principal, does the Calibre driver support syncing other fields? I've had a look at the code for the driver at https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibr..._app/driver.py and fiddled about with Wireshark. It seems that CC sends all the metadata back and looks like the driver *should* sync it. I've tried emulating CC (with changes to, say, the comments field) using netcat, but the changes don't appear in Calibre (the changes to _is_read_ *do* appear). Thanks.

Thanks @theducks. Where in the code is the "bottle neck"? (As you'll know, the other fields are sent from CC and appear to be accepted by the driver, but don't get synced.)
I assume by "Read status", you mean the status and the date, as the date also gets through. |

If you really want to edit metadata, use your browser and the content server (edit is a new feature) |

If you have looked at the code then you would have seen that the calibre driver syncs only two metadata fields: read and date read. If you want to sync more than that you will need to:

BTW why didn’t you go the whole hog and allow editing of metadata in CC?

And BTW: the metadata isn't "thrown away". It is critical to the metadata caching scheme used to reduce network traffic. |
