This plugin version runs GREAT! I have stopped using the older portable version of Calibre that I had the older version that worked well for me. I can now use this plugin with very minimal excess time spent syncing. Thank You!

Hi all, is there any way to automate the "update reading status" function? I already have custom columns for a books read percentage and status, ideally I'd like any titles where this has changed to be synced to GR automatically after I sync my device to Calibre.

For Kobo devices, my Kobo Utilities plugin can fetch any changes in reading status from the device, update columns in the library, and optionally call the Update progress for those books. |

PS I think I've got most of it working already. The bit I'm missing is how to call the update progress for the specific books that have a changed status. PPS I am guessing the last few lines of the settings in "View library preferences" is what I'm after. "readingPositionChangesStore": { "selectBooksInLibrary": false, "updeateGoodreadsProgress": false } I am guessing that at least one of these flags needs to be set to true. I'm unsure of the typo in the last one (updeate) is intentional or not. I've done some testing but can't get the GR status to update by changing these variables or fixing the typo. Guessing I need to do further configuration elsewhere. Last edited by Minotaur; 01-13-2021 at 01:47 AM. |

You only list a Paperwhite in your devices, so I assume that was what you had.

Exactly what happens depends on how you run the fetch. If you do it manually, and run in the foreground, it just updates the status in the library and doesn't give the options to update GR. If you run it in the background, it will display a dialog showing what has changed. That has the options "Select updated books in library" and "Update Goodread reading progress". If the latter is select, the books get selected in the library and the GR sync Update progress dialog is shown for those books. If you run the fetch automatically when the device is connected, it will depend on if you have "Prompt to store any changes" selected in the configuration. With it selected, it works like the running in the background. You get the list and the options are there. If it isn't selected, it works like running it in the foreground. You do not get the list and you do not get the option to update the progress. There are some inconsistencies in the above. The options to do the progress update probably should be in the plugin configuration for the store on connect. I'll have to think about that. I think the above should solve it. If there are more problems, we probably should move over the to Kobo Utilities plugin's thread. |

Okay it looks like it IS actually updating the reading position, but it's not changing the Goodreads shelf. Going to to some more investigating.

Every time I try to change something to get rid of the dialog boxes in the hope to make it non-attended, it ends up not doing anything. |

Sorry, the only way to use this function is through the dialogs. I may change it for the Kobo Utilities part. But, I don't see it for the GR side of it.

I know I mentioned this before and was told that it was something possibly to work on, but I am wondering if there can be a rules list for removing books from shelves.
There are so many options for sync and add, but the need to have rules for removing books is pretty high too. Updating custom columns to remove tags placed when adding/syncing is the main reason. Last edited by Rellwood; 02-03-2021 at 05:23 PM. |
