Is there a way to create the shelves with custom prefixes?
Right now I only use series but would also like to use others like tags. It would be nice if Serie shelves could start with Series: and tag shelves with Tags: |

I would make use of an additional custom column; maybe something like
KoboSeries Computed based on other columns {series:|Series:|} and then use #KoboSeries in your shelf rather than Series |

First of all, thank you for your amazing plugin! And sorry for my bad english, it's not my first language.
I have a problem with Collections auto-creating. I'll try to describe how I want it to work. When I'm uploading the books which are the part of any collection, I want to have 2 separate bookshelves (collections) on my Kobo Aura ONE. 1st is 'Author Name' (for example, "Corey, James S.A.") and 2nd is 'Author Name - Series Name' ("Corey, James S.A. - The Expanse"). To achieve this goal I created a new column with following settings: http://i.imgur.com/uOYQNvM.png Column built from other columns, behaves like tags. {author_sort}{series:| - |} I named it "authorseries". In Library interface it gives me exactly what I wanted: http://i.imgur.com/uQEiXCH.png Now to the plugin configuration: http://i.imgur.com/dvwMAWA.png And here is the problem. #authorseries takes 'author_sort' which contains a comma, so the plugin think the comma should separate the format "author_last_name; comma; author_first_name; space; hyphen; space; series_name" into 2 bookshelves: 1. author_last_name (comma works as separator) 2. author_first_name; space; hyphen; space; series_name Like this: http://i.imgur.com/f8fTHdh.png And on device: http://i.imgur.com/V79Isjc.jpg I hope I described my problem good enough. Is there any way to achieve my goal? Maybe you can use ";" instead of "," as a separator? Or any other way? Anyway, thanks for your time! EDIT Damn! I just fixed it by changing "Column built from other columns, behaves like tags." to "Column built from other columns". http://i.imgur.com/vuErL8r.png I'll leave it here in case someone will encounter my problem. Sorry for disturbing! Last edited by NotDot; 04-23-2017 at 08:00 PM. |

I have had a Kobo Aura since 2015. And sometime in April I upgraded the firmware to the new 4.x series, currently 4.5.9587. I went a few weeks before adding any new books, but when I finally did, i started getting this error on "Send to Device"
Code:
calibre, version 3.7.0 ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device This file is locked with DRM. It cannot be edited. Traceback (most recent call last): File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 88, in run File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 592, in _upload_books File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver", line 335, in upload_books File "site-packages/calibre/devices/kobo/driver.py", line 2014, in upload_books File "calibre_plugins.kobotouch_extended.device.driver", line 179, in _modify_epub File "site-packages/calibre/ebooks/oeb/polish/container.py", line 1165, in __init__ File "site-packages/calibre/ebooks/oeb/polish/container.py", line 1237, in process_encryption DRMError: This file is locked with DRM. It cannot be edited. I fussed with it for quite a while, going so far as to reset my Aura to factory setting, deleting all books and starting over but still I got the error - even on books I'd previously (before the firmware upgrade) loaded with no problem. Not on every book but most of them. I finally switched the Calibre driver back the "main" Kobo driver and no error. Books that would not load, did. So I switched back to the extended driver and I get the error. So whatever it is, it's something between the extended driver and the newer firmware on the Aura. I watched here to see if anyone else would report it but I haven't seen it (or I missed it). So could it be something that I'm doing? Thanks in advance for any help. John H. Reinhardt |

And just to be clear, this has nothing to do with the firmware version on the device. Or the version of calibre. This is independent of the device and if you tried to open the book with the calibre viewer or editor, you would get a similar message. |

Thanks for your information. I probably broke the cardinal rule of changing only one thing at a time and loaded new firmware onto the Kobo, changed the driver in Calibre and who knows what else all at the same time. Other things changed on my Kobo at the same time so I attributed it to the new firmware. Books that I had previously loaded and erased, now failed to load, but I must have loaded them with the "normal" driver and switched to the extended at some point later on.
I must have something else set wrong as the "Silently Ignore Failed Converions" option is checked (as shown by this screen shot) and still I get the error. Maybe it's the "Upload DRM-encumbered ePub files" I'll have to disable that and try. It's interesting that it only happens with most Adobe DRM file, but not all. They must use differing versions of DRM. At least I know the cause and can work around it now. Thanks! John H. Reinhardt |

I have no idea if a Kobo can handle this new DRM. |

The upload should fail for all books in the calibre library that have DRM. A likely reason is that something has happened to the DRM removal plugins so that when you add books to the library they don't get the DRM stripped. Try opening the books that have the problem with the calibre viewer. If they still have DRM, the viewer will display DRM error. And, as you have discovered, the option isn't working. I've just tried it and see the same error for a book with DRM. Looking at the code, something has changed in the underlying calibre code for opening a book for changing. It shouldn't be to hard to fix. I'll try and look at it sometime this week. |

I think the Quality check PI will find the books that still have DRM, in one pass. (assumes you expect t o be nullified in all books in your library) |

That's how I found some books to test the driver. But, it did find some books that I know don't have DRM. I haven't looked at the Quality Check PI code, so I don't know what it is doing.

I have been trying to get this plugin to work for me over the past few days, but I've been struggling to have it work correctly. The books convert just fine, but when I try to read them on the device the right side of the page is cut off... If I resize the text it's clear the words are still there but the margins are all messed up.
Anyone experience this before and can tell me what I need to do to fix it? Calibre 3.7 KoboTouchExtended 2.8.2 Kepub Metadata Reader/Writer 2.7.1 Kobo Aura 4.5.9587 |

If you aren't using full screen mode, then it will be something unusual in the code of the books. We'd need to see an example to be able to make a suggestion of what is wrong. |

I'm not sure what happened with my plugin installation. I'm using Calibre 3.8 64bit version: everything was working fine until last week, when I sent a book to my Kobo which was automatically converted in .kepub as usual. I open Calibre again today and the plugin is not installed anymore, and when I try to reinstall it, I get this error message:
Code:
calibre, version 3.8.0 ERRORE: Install plugin failed: A problem occurred while installing this plugin. This plugin will now be uninstalled. Please post the error message in details below into the forum thread for this plugin and restart calibre.
