I'm sure there's something I'm not understanding. I created several collections and put books into them, applied, and rebooted.
At first I thought nothing had happened because all the books were still on the home screen (several of them). On the last screen there were my collections with books in them. How do I get the books that are in collections to display only in the collections? |

Problems with duplicate entries
Thanks to everyone for their feedback on the Kindle Collection Manager v0.4. It really is invaluable to be able to test the application on so many varied machine configurations and also exposing the app to some weird & wonderful ebook files!
It would appear that the Kindle is quite tolerant of multiple references to the same ebook files in it's collections.json file and will only display 1 entry for each set of duplicates. The KCM however treats the collections.json file as gospel and will display whatever it finds there. I'll change the app so the KCM actually 'cleans up' the collections.json file and reconciles the items with the files on the device. Thanks again to everyone for your feedback! |

In another thread I read that using certain special characters at the beginning of a collection name would cause them to sort alphabetically, and they are not doing. I used a period at the beginning of names and it isn't working. BTW, I noticed that I could not drag a book from one collection to another. I had to delete the book from a collection and and then drag the book from the left pane into the new collection. Is dragging from one collection to another not allowed? |

on the kindle itself........if you use symbols infront of collection names you need to sort by title not collection, the collections will sort and show on the first pages, before the books. If you use a full stop as your symbol you must make sure there is a space between the full stop and the collection name . fiction not .fiction

I swear, the topaz format just needs to be firebombed out of existence. It causes nothing but trouble and it's horrible to read.

Definitely! I've got 3 in my collection. Those 2 mentioned in this thread (that I bought before I knew any better) and 1 more by mistake. |

I've noticed some oddities:
1) If I sort by Collections, I've got several books that show up on the Home screen even though they are in a collection. 2) I bought two free games, Shuffled Row & Every Word and they don't show up in the left pane of Collection Manger. Neither do the Oxford Dictionary of English or The New Oxford American dictionary. Which means I can't use Collection Manger to put them in a collection. |

problem
I used the program early this morning, but when I tried to open it again this evening, it wouldn't open. I restarted my laptop and tried again. Then I uninstalled the program and reinstalled it again. It still won't open. Has anyone else had this problem?

KCM still not working for Kindle DX
Quote:
I feel that the issue for me is something on the kindle DX as I have gotten the KCM program to run on a K2i and K3. So I'm slowly adding files to the K3 (primarily thru calibre) and then checking that KCM still works. And, I'm gradually removing some files from the DX, restarting then checking if the KCM works - still no luck. A brute force way of trying to figure out what's on the DX that KCM doesn't like. If I stumble across something, I'll leave a post. Just pulled about 50 files - still the same "stopped working message." It means nothing to me, but this is the problem detail that appears (using vista). Description: Stopped working Problem signature: Problem Event Name: CLR20r3 Problem Signature 01: kindlecollectionmanager.exe Problem Signature 02: 0.4.0.0 Problem Signature 03: 4c81144d Problem Signature 04: mscorlib Problem Signature 05: 4.0.0.0 Problem Signature 06: 4ba1da6f Problem Signature 07: 214 Problem Signature 08: 10 Problem Signature 09: System.ArgumentException OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.3 Locale ID: 1033 |
