Have Woogli's issues been addressed - posts 1866/7 ?

I merged them into here a couple of days ago because they were in the wrong place.

It's the same problem as @Phoebus was having two or three posts above where you merged them. I gave a solution to that and it was confirmed a couple of posts later.

That should fix it.

Alternatively, delete the files "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED.py.json" and "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED.py". You will need to reconfigure the driver if you do this.

I have a similar problem.

However, it seems that I cannot find the Calibre configuration directory on my Windows 10, I have been looking in C:\Users\YourUserID\AppData\Local without success...

Where is it located?

In calibre, open the preferences and go to the "Miscellaneous" page. Then click the appropriate button.

Hi,

I am having Plugin problem which David Koval has kindly advised starts with this Plugin.

Here is the original error information:

calibre, version 3.44.0
ERROR: Error: Error communicating with device

'bool' object has no attribute 'startswith'

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "site-packages/calibre/gui2/device.py", line 89, in run

File "lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 254, in expanduser
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'startswith'

And here is what I get when I try to customize the Plugin:

If someone wants me to go in and edit something I would happily try -- but I do not know where the file code lives so would need some fairly introductory information about how to get to that point.

Thank you for any help you are able to provide!

A lot.

Thanks, also to @theducks.

This is the same problem that has been discussed several times recently. Please see my post above for how to fix it.

Do you mean it helped find the button I was pointing to? Or did it get rid of the problem you were seeing?

davidfor · 07-12-2019, 11:18 PM

Attached is a beta that should fix the problems reported with opening the driver configuration or sending books. The error is in how the options are migrated between versions of the plugins. A change in how calibre stores the configuration seems to have exacerbated the problem. This version should fix the issue.

If anyone stills sees the error with this, please post the "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCHBETA.py" and "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCHEXTENDED.py.json" from the calibre configuration directory. These are the before and after versions of the configuration file. And I would be interested in seeing what the last changed timestamp of the "device_drivers_KOBOTOUCHBETA.py" is.

jgoguen · 07-12-2019, 11:44 PM

Can you make a PR against the GitHub repo, or send me a patch file for the change? It's been working fine for me when I've tried (but not always removing the option from the config file) but maybe that's the options I have set? I'm out of the country for a while but I can make a new release once I'm back.

davidfor · 07-14-2019, 12:43 AM

Here's the patch file. I have checked the change using a very old config file from @snowstone. It migrates properly.

Note, in doing this I found a problem with 3.45.2 and migrating old config files to the JSON version. I had to do the testing with 3.44 to prove it was done correctly.

How to I install this patch file? Or the previous plugin zip file will do the trick?

The patch is for @jgoguen to merge into the source. The changes are already in the beta I posted above.

jgoguen · 07-15-2019, 05:00 PM

I've published a new version with davidfor's changes, calibre should pick it up in the next couple hours.
