I'm feeling like an idiot, but I cannot get this to work as I thought it would. I've spent a couple of years documenting my library on Goodreads, so I thought I could just import that data into Calibre with this plugin by syncing with my Goodreads account. It finds the Goodreads shelves and the books, but seems to expect the books to already exist in Calibre, which they don't.
Have I misunderstood how this plugin works? Thanks! |

Same for the Goodreads Metadata Consider Using Import List CSV after you fetch your book List from GR (disclaimer: Not a GR member) |

It is not a one-way street.
It can't work with a Blind Alley eg If I sync a reading position, it assumes the book is already there. No Book, No need (or place) to sync with. In the case of Import List (predefined), The Right side has an optional 'Match to Empty Book'. That is a deliberate step to force a DB entry into Calibre where none existed (brilliant on the Dudes part, as not everyone wants this sort of thing) |

Firstly the option in question is "Sync from shelves". That is only one way, it's in the name, "from". If it was "with", it would probably be two-way. There are separate options for going the other direction.
Most of the sync shelves is about matching with existing books. It matches using the Goodreads ID. It doesn't attempt to match on anything else as there is no guarantee it will work. But, in the result window if you right click on a book that has the status "No calibre book linked!", there are options to search calibre for a book or to add an empty book. If you use the add empty book option, all the books will be created with the title and author and GR id. If you want more metadata or covers, then you need to run a metadata download for the books. If you used the Import List plugin to add the books from a list exported from GR, you should have been able to include the GR id. That should have let the sync match the books. |

Hi everyone,
I have a question about the book context menu and Goodreads Sync: is it normal that it is empty (see picture)? If not, what can I do to have it working properly? Thanks! |

It isn't empty here on my Win10 machine. It might work differently on a MAC. Are the other submenus opening? Do you have to click on them, or just move the cursor over the parent menu item?

Have you set up the plugin - i.e. linked it to your Goodreads account and set up some rules for adding/syncing books? |

Following your suggestions, I unlinked my GR account and uninstalled the GR sync plugin, then reinstalled and linked again, and it is now working as expected.
Sorry for disturbing and thanks again! |

Are you uploading books, or just metadata? (I'm not familiar with this plugin.)

@Yota71 - if you post a message telling us which Goodreads plugin are you referring to (there are at least four) I will merge your thread into that plugin's thread where you're more likely to get a broader response.
