To uninstall, set uninstall=1 in the config file, then run AutoShelf one more time.

Yes but i have no config file or anything even suggesting AutoShelf is even on my kobo.

Try to create it: create .addons\autoshelf folders and put the autoshelf.cfg file with this content in it.

I've been hit by another problem with AutoShelf. To detect user action, it monitors /dev/input/event1. But, on Kobo Sage, this is not (always?) the good file.
I wrote a patch to detect the good eventX file based on /proc/bus/input/devices.
To be fully correct, we must know the name of the touch screen. I put the one I know in the script (ie for Kobo Sage and Kobo Forma).
If nothing is found, it failback to /dev/input/event1 as before but also generate a file in /mnt/onboard/AutoShelf-bugreport.txt (with the contents of /proc/bus/input/devices) so that my patch can be improved.

I put my patch below, feel free to use it as you want.

I can also give you the full updated KoboRoot.tgz if you wish to quickly update the package.

could you release one for sage users, like me, thanks a lot~~~

Is there any way to force an autoshelf other than on disconnect? I use kobocloud to sync Google Drive to my device and would like new items that come in that way to be shelved separately. Under the current implementation, is the only way to do that to connect and disconnect the device from a PC? Could there be a workaround with NickelMenu?

There is a way in NickelMenu to trigger the code run when the device is disconnected from the USB. You should be able to find it in the NickelMenu thread.

I've tried :rescan_books_full: and :force_usb_connection: and neither seems to trigger autoshelf. Is there something I'm missing? I'll also post a query on the NickelMenu thread.

I note that NM also has the ability to execute commands directly via cmd_spawn -- is there some way this could be used to hook into autoshelf's reindex action?

[ajkessel]

Executing /usr/local/AutoShelf/autoshelf.sh does not seem to trigger a reindex, but the following does:

echo usb plug add >>/tmp/nickel-hardware-status
sleep 12
echo usb plug remove >>/tmp/nickel-hardware-status

Is there any way to reindex without actually triggering the USB actions?

This is the code I use

menu_item :main :Import books       :nickel_misc        :rescan_books_full

Hi

I am interested in using this, is it still being worked on and does it work with the lastest firmware?

Regards Glen

[had]

It seems to work on the latest firmware, but it definitely has some issues with the latest devices (for example the Sage and the Elipsa 2e)

vdanjean has noticed that the newer devices need an updated fbink and updated udev rules and has put patches on github.

[had]

Thanks for your patches.

I decided to just rip out the broken fbink and udev functionality from the script, as I want to trigger it from nickelmenu anyway. But I found it would always complain about the database being locked, unless I wrapped my script:

echo usb plug add >> /tmp/nickel-hardware-status ; my-autoshelf.sh ; echo usb plug remove >> /tmp/nickel-hardware-status

Is there someway to unlock the database without resorting to that USB plug simulation?

Still struggling to make it work in my Kobo Sage. Could you please share your full script and nickelmenu entry? Thanks!

IMHO, it's a lot easier to use Calibre to side load.
