You said you are using the last version of Calibre on Windows 7. That would be 5.9 back then. So how did you install Calibre 5.9 on Windows 7?

I talk through my hat there. I check back my 7 machine and find that I haven't upgrade it to Calibre 5. Sorry. I use the 7 for other purpose now so my wrongful and unthinking affirmation (which was right until 5).

Do you have Calibre 4.23 on your Windows 7 machine? It's the only version of Calibre that's compatible with Calibre 5 since Calibre 5 changed the database format.

Sorry for the delay. Yes, it is the version on my windows 7 PC. It's too bad we can try the version 5. I would have prefer an advice against with a choice to try it anayway.

I'm not sure if this would also be present with the regular Kobo driver.
I ran into a glitch where between the length of multiple (long) author names and the .kepub extension, the filepath seemed to hit some sort of limit and truncated part of my custom save path ({#kobopath}/{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}) , resulting it ending up in K:\Fanion\ instead of \Fanfiction\. Thankfully I was able to fix it with a {author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)} to show only the main author, but I found it strange that it truncated the path instead of the filename. Did I make a user error?

The original truncated path was exactly 180 characters (setting author_sort to a sublist shortened it to 156) and the filename did change quite a bit. If it had been able to display in full, it would've been 205 characters.

The driver sets the maximum path length to 185 characters. With it needing to remove 20 characters, I am not surprised the first directory was touched.

The conversion to epub works as it will (almost always) produce a valid book. And the conversion to kepub using the Kepub Output plugin worked as it is largely a wrapper around the epub conversion. It basically does a conversion to epub and then does the kepub work. Not supporting errors in books was a deliberate decision when the driver was written. The driver does have an option to allow the books to be sent as epubs if there are any errors in the kepubification process. Whether the epub will work on the device will depend on the error in the book. |

Question: How do I force KoboTouchExtended to delete an existing subtitle when a template returns blank? I accidentally subtitled a bunch of books "dummytemplatetest" and can't remember what I did before to fix it.

The driver should be changing any subtitle that does not match what is on the device. That includes clearing it. There was a bug around this, but, I fixed it a little while ago.

Here's the template, put in the Subtitle field:
Code:
program: if field('#fanficcat') then template("{#fanficcat:'sublist(list_sort($, 0, ','), 0,1,',')'} | {#fanficstatus}") fi Last edited by ownedbycats; 03-01-2021 at 04:14 PM. |
