[Android] V5.4.1 beta

CC V5.4.1.1 has been released to the beta group.

Change log:
  • Major update of Google's Android tools. Google claims a performance improvement. The changes were very invasive.
  • Support for new calibre Wireless Device feature permitting adding new formats (extensions) to send to CC. (See below)
  • Updated language: Slovak

INFORMATION ABOUT THE NEW EXTENSIONS FEATURE

I changed the Wireless Device driver in calibre to add the ability to list "extra" formats (extensions) that calibre is willing to send to CC. Starting with the next release of calibre (3.12 I think) you can add these extensions in the Wireless Device (SmartDevice) configuration. To access that configuration:
  1. Start calibre.
  2. Go to the driver's configuration screen.
    Alternative 1:
    1. Connect CC as a wireless device.
    2. Click the down arrow next to "Device" on the tool bar.
    3. Choose "Configure this device"
    Alternative 2:
    1. Go to calibre Preferences
    2. Click Plugins (at the bottom of the dialog)
    3. Search for SmartDev. The "SmartDevice App Interface" plugin should be automatically selected
    4. Push the "Configure" button.
  3. You will see a box at the bottom of the configuration dialog with the label "Additional file extensions to send to the device".
  4. Enter a comma-separated list of extensions you want CC to accept. For example, some audiobook extensions: m4b, aax
  5. Press OK.
  6. If CC is connected as a wireless device, disconnect.
  7. Connect CC as a wireless device so calibre can tell it about the extensions.
  8. Disconnect.
  9. In CC, go to Settings / Formats and folders. The new extensions will be in the list but not selected. Select them and move them to the priority you wish. You might also want to put them into a folder different from where you keep your "normal" books, especially if the app that can handle the files changes them in some way or extracts information from them.
  10. CC will now accept those extensions from calibre.
NB: The above process should also work with iOS CC.
