Also, if you want to dig deeper on this, you can test the old version on the plugin on a test library (that uses a different config folder by setting the variable CALIBRE_CONFIG_DIRECTORY). If you don't have the older version, I can send it to you if you want.

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant that I'm running from source because I wanted to use that change.
I looked at the other changes; there weren't many between 5.25 and 5.26 and I don't see anything related to the database. Hm. |

Edit: Theoretically it can happen if you bulk change multiple columns using the bulk metadata edit dialog as that fire multiple events (one event per column). But I tested this multiple times and it did not happen, but the error was random so maybe with more testing it would happen. But it was more easily replicated when adding books.

The bulk edits I did in that session were a) changing an enumerated column for maybe 16 books and b) Kobo Utilities updating some reading-status columns (which I specifically excluded from LM so it shouldn't have triggered anything at all).

I did it via drag-and-drop to tag browser instead of the bulk edit dialog, so I don't see how I could change multiple columns.
My memory isn't too good, but I think this is what I did: 1. Edit permissible values to add the new enumerated value. 2. Edit one book (via cell in book list) to use that value so it appears in the tag browser. 3. Drag and drop the other books onto the entry in the tag browser. |

But still, I think it would affect one or two books maximum. Last edited by capink; 08-29-2021 at 05:55 PM. |

I'm going to guess this is not possible, but can Last Modified ignore the addition or deletion of a specific value from a tag-like column? e.g. I add and remove "To Be Read" to #kobocoll on a regular basis (especially on ongoing fanfics) and want to ignore that.
If not, I can just set it to ignore the column entirely. No big issue. Last edited by ownedbycats; 09-03-2021 at 05:43 PM. |

It is not possible because the plugin is notified about the change after it happens, and has no way to know the old value to make a comparison.

While a little outside the scope of a last modified plugin, could the "view" action be added to the list of things to detect? This would allow me to retire my View action chain.
Thanks for consideration. |

That would need a modification to calibre source to make it fire an event whenever a book is viewed (similar to what calibre does when a book is edited by calibre editor).

I do know that Job Spy does it (but it also triggers if you click the book in details which is why I don't use that plugin).

Just curious: Could Last Modified also populate a column with which column was last modified? I'm not sure how this would work for editing multiple fields in the dialog rather than using the book list though.
