I'm syncing from GR to Calibre. On a handful of my books, the sync does not show a read-date from GR. These books do have a read-date in GR, they are on my GR "read" shelf, but when I sync from GR, the "GR Date Read" column is blank. I'm guessing this is more likely the API info than a plugin issue, but I'm not optimistic about GR fixing it.
As there are only a few books affected, I don't mind manually entering the date-read in Calibre - but every time I sync, the "blank" date in GR overwrites the read-date in Calibre, so I'd have to do it after every sync. Is there any way to tell the plugin to only download the read-date from GR if there is not a read-date already attached to the book in Calibre? Or does anyone have an idea for an alternative work-around? |

I've also noticed that problem couple of days ago.
There is no workaround, plugin will need to add a check for that scenario (zero length / empty date string). |

Be aware that this problem can be related with a goodreads problem related to read date.

Reading Progress not updated?
Hi,
I'm trying to sync my reading progress from my Kobo to goodreads. I see the progress as percent in my #kobo_percent_read column and I chose that same column for reading progress in the goodreads sync plugin. Still, the progress is not sent/updated at goodreads. Any idea where the problem might be? Best Regards Sebastian |

I will check again tonight, but, if you can run calibre in debug mode (right click the preferences), update the progress and post the log that calibre produces, I might be able to see what is happening. |

I've worked around it for most of my affected books by deleting them from my GR shelves, then using the upload-to-shelf action for them. There are a couple of issues with doing this - they are minor for me, but I wanted to mention them in case they might be bigger problems for someone else: 1. There is a limit to the number of characters in the review text with GR/Calibre sync, so it might be necessary to copy-and-paste it (copy before deleting the book from GR!) 2. The "date added" on GR will be changed to the newly-uploaded date. 3. Any likes or comments on the GR review will be lost. 4. The date-started on GR will be lost. Ideally, I'd like to see a "download read-date only if read-date field is empty", which would also solve the issue of losing first-read dates for those books which are re-reads. (I see a suggestion earlier in this thread for someone who is uploading to GR, but it doesn't help with sync'ing.) Last edited by dewd; 11-08-2017 at 03:47 PM. |

https://gist.github.com/sebastianw/9...44c6647ec68c9b I just checked, the book is still at 40% at goodreads even though it should be 47%. Regards Sebastian |

If you look at the book in Goodreads, does the status section have an update at the time you did this? Also, make sure that the edition of the book you are looking at in Goodreads is the same as the one you have in calibre. |

As to not syncing the date if it is already filled in calibre, I disagree. The "Date read column" in the configuration is for the last date read. Syncing from GR brings the last read date it knows about. Whatever the value is that comes from GR should replace the value in the calibre library. That is what the function is designed to do, so anything else would be a bug or a change in function. If what you are actually recording is "Date First read", then you should either not be syncing the date read, or use a separate column in calibre. |

no it does not show an status update at that time. It is the same book, I've linked them just the day before. Linking should make this the "same" book, right? On goodreads its this one: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...-quantum-thief |

Aannd of course it didn't. I found only one edition while linking so I thought it to be save to link it. But it was another one. I fixed it now by manually dragging "my" goodreads book in the link window and linking it to that. Sorry for the bother. I now know where to look when it doesn't work again. |
