Sync FROM Calibre TO Goodreads
Hi,
Sorry if this is already answered, this topic is quite old and very BIG. Didn't find anything yet. I use maily Calibre, I have a Kobo e-Book and anerytime I plug it into Calibre, it syncs it's read books and reading ones. I'd like this to sync my Goodreads account FROM Calibre, so it takes the books read, shelves and %read from a book and add/update then on my Goodreads account. Is it possible ? Thanks. |

Checked Goodreads plug-in and it is authorized. The dialog that apears when I plug-in the device updates the indexes, reading positions, etc... from the device and then it closes, there's no option to update Goodreads. I'm looking for something in Kobo Plugin, and found some call to Goodreads, but not answer to my issue. Is there a way to turn on Plugin Debugger ? |

I suppose I should add those options in the configuration. But, it won't happen for a while. |

HI,
Wanted to request a feature for the plugin. Is it possible to add rules for removing a book from a shelf? Adding and syncing have rules, but removing books doesn't change anything. I have a lot of columns that need updating if I remove books from specific shelves, especially the "bookshelves" column. If I remove a book from a shelf, the only way to update the column is to download tags as shelves, and I have to manually go into other columns and change their values when GRS could do it if the option was available. |

Hello,
Thank you very much for your plugin, it's an incredible time saver! I have one question, is it possible to sync (private) highlights from GoodReads to Calibre? I couldn't find any column that matches this... Cheers! |

No, the plugin doesn't have that function. And, I didn't even know that GR had the function. Looking at the book I am reading on GR, I don't see how to add them or see them. I can see a general quotes section, but, no a private highlights. Or they created on the Kindle and synced?

But it appears that not even the Goodreads API provides access for this . Thanks! |

And alternative is the Annotations plugin. It can read annotations from devices, and can import from files exported from apps. It doesn't support many apps, but they can be added. |

Is the source code for this plugin checked somewhere? (couldn't find it with the search function) Maybe, if you want, I could contribute with the scrapping of kindle notes (either way, this is an example of the page with books that have highlights, and this an example of the quotes for a particular book). |

Is there a way to make both the add and the sync columns both show in the window for editing the plugin.
It seems that if there are too many rules, or the rules are too long, only the add column shows across the width of the window in the plugin. Unless I go and rename a lot of columns {#grdateread} to {#grdr} or {#bookshelves} to {#bs} and so on in every library, I can't get the sync plugin to show both the add and the sync rules. I don't know if I have sync rules for a lot of my shelves unless I manually hit the sync button and open the individual box. Some help please? I don't want to have to rename every column in all my libraries. I hope this makes sense. |

If the horizontal scroll scrollbar is not shown, that is another issue. In that case, what happens when you resize the dialog? And what version of calibre are you running? And what OS? |
