Calibre Metadata Plugboards and KoboTouch/KoboTouchExtended driver are used to update some fields in the epub/kepub .OPF file during calibre send-to-device. They don't update the epub in your calibre library.

Things like the optional Subtitle field never make it into the .OPF. The drivers can also update the Kobo database file directly.

Changes which got injected into the .OPF file are visible on the Kobo device after the initial send-to-device. Direct updates to the Kobo database (e.g. Series, Subtitle) happen when you re-connect for a 2nd, 3rd, ... time. @davidfor is the expert on all this if you want details.

I would point out that there'd be a downside. The ability to long-press a word in the dictionary pop-up definition to lookup a second word would be lost.
Hi, It's long time since I and a couple of users were searching this patch but with bad results.
I'm interested at it despite the downside. May you be so kind to post the patch?

many thanks

There is no patch.

I can only repeat what I already said "I'm afraid it's not something I know how to do." @geek1011 might have a better chance of figuring it out but I don't want to make commitments or raise hopes on his behalf.

It's not as simple as it seems, since it requires messing with Qt signals/slots. I'll take a look later and see if it's worth the effort to do it or not.

I'm not sure who other than Owl_ and I have actually requested this patch, but if Jackie is right about the downside (and I've no reason to doubt her), I'm not nearly as interested in it.

I say this only to give a better sense of user interest as I was the one Jackie had replied to initially here, and I know part of your considerations factor in user demand.

And, @greatforum, I'm pretty sure that's not the CSS for it.

There's also a possibility it could be in one of the non-zlib streams too. I'll look into this when I get back to the Qt resource stuff after I finish with what I'm currently working on for NickelMenu (which is almost feature-complete now).
Hello @geek1011, just want to check if you got a chance to look into changing default footnote font

Hello geek1011,

Lazy request : for the next versions, can you add the "Never sync dictionaries" section in the libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml file ?
I'm talking about the section at the bottom of your Installing custom dictionaries page.
(Yes it's just to avoid copy/paste...).
I like to use this section with the BoboTiG's Wiktionary.

Thank for all your work.

I wonder if there is a patch possible to make the Kobo display '&' as a separator instead of a comma in the author list when there is more than one author. Not neccessarily using it internally (a plugboard takes care of that easily enough), but just in the display.

Curious. Is that just personal preference?

That would be possible once I find where that is handled. I'll look into it later.
