The binary isn't released yet, sometime this weekend. You can download the source and run from source before the binary is updated.

0.6.96 released
This beta will be the last one before 0.7 with new features:
The major new features are:
This release had a lot of internal refactoring to increase robustness of the custom column code. In particular as chaley warned above if you have user defined categories they will have to be recreated. Note that this is categories, not columns. Categories are the headings that show up in the Tag Browser. Columns are, well, columns As before, the betas are available from: http://calibre-ebook.com/downloads/betas Enjoy. A note for those of you running the code by checking it out from the launchpad custom-cols branch. That branch has been retired, it is now merged into trunk. You can get the latest beta source code by doing: Code:

The On Device column shows information for the device currently plugged in and recognized by Calibre. When you unplug the device, the information is removed. It doesn't care that you might have another device waiting to be plugged in or what that device is. For example, my wife and I each have a Sony Pocket. When I plug mine in, Calibre shows me ondevice information for the books on my reader, and when I plug hers in, I see that information for hers. You might be thinking that the information is persistent, retained when the device is unplugged. It isn't. If you want Calibre to remember what is on a device, then you must store that info yourself. To solve this problem (keep track of what is on each device when the device isn't plugged in), I created two Yes/No columns, one named CB (for me) and one DT (for my wife). The last thing I do before unplugging a reader (assume mine) after adding/deleting books is: 1) clear CB to empty using the bulk metadata editor, 2) search for books on the device (search ondevice:true), then 3) select all these books and set CB to Yes using the bulk metadata editor. Did I answer your question? Two notes: - The ondevice search was broken in the beta releases. It is fixed in the trunk source (the beta source is obsolete) and will be in the next release, which should be 0.7.0. Ondevice is a text column, so you can search for ondevice:main or ondevice:"card a" or ondevice:"card b". The search ondevice:true finds books in device memory and the card(s) if present. The search ondevice:false finds books not on the device. - Calibre can know that a given book is on the device if that book was added using a version of Calibre after 0.6.94 and if you use one installation of Calibre to manage your device. In other cases, Calibre must guess, which it does by 1) comparing metadata stored in the books on the device with metadata stored in the library, then if no match 2) comparing the title and authors of the books on the device with those stored in the library. The first guess will fail if the book format has no metadata (or it is missing). The second guess will fail if title and author are not in the book file names or if the regular expression in preferences/adding books does not match the file name pattern used when sending books to the device. If you have turned off 'Read metadata from files on device', then only method 2 will be used. For this reason we suggest that the first time you plug a device into Calibre 0.7 (assuming you haven't use the betas), you let Calibre read the metadata from the book files. This could take a long time, but only once. From that point on, Calibre remembers the metadata and won't need to look at the books. If you look at the device's storage using a file explorer, you might notice a file '.metadata.calibre'. Calibre stores metadata for the books in this file. Please don't edit it. If you delete the file, Calibre will rebuild it from scratch the next time Calibre recognizes the device, which could take a long time. |
