Calibre is not Cloud aware (or hardened). AFAIK (and I only use a couple), All Cloud syncs REPLICATE a folder (set). Calibre does not like its Library getting written into by others. A Mirror (copy) is safer, BUT it should be paused whire Calibre is running as a needed file (most common is Metadata.db) could get locked (for a copy) just at the wrong time. FWIW I just Shut down Calibre: run Freefilesync (takes a couple of minutes to scan, then make the needed adjustments. Mine is to a local NAS, so I run wide open speed. Your DSLCable connection may slow this down quite a bit ![]() |

I would be somewhat surprised if it didn't work with other popular 'cloud' services. BR |

I prefer to use a commercial FTP server. Don't these cloud things have a move option? If not, that's another reason for me not to use them

It's ambiguous, even within the calibre domain, it's also an industrial bus

Hi all,
I would like to have a Plugin that writes the checksum of the file to a custom column (similar to the Page Count Plugin). This are my use cases: * Sometimes it's easier to compare the checksum of files to detect, if there are really identical. Otherwise, I need to investigate. * It's useful to compare the checksums to a later time point to spot errors or corrupt files. * It would be great, if the saved checksum could be used while importing new books as an additional to comparison of the metadata to spot duplicates. What do you think? |

Any metadata or cover change embedded would invalidate this saved value.
Corruption is not usually an issue for books IN the library. OTOH there are lots of things to NOT do, that will damage the DB (or what it has documented) |

I believe you do not need to change cover or metadata to affect the checksum. Merely opening the file with calibre viewer can change the checksum as calibre inserts bookmarks into the file.
Given the above I am curious as to how the Find Duplicates plugin performs its binary compare? Does it discard cover, metadata and bookmarks from files before comparing? Maybe someone can shed light on this. |
