What about a warning if the filename that will be used for uploading does not match the existing one, and the possibility of using the old filename instead of the new?

Maybe a solution would be to add a new operation -- sync filename for selected book(s) on device which would rename the file on the device (rather than recopy it) and try to patch the database to match.
This could be something on the book context menu from the device pane, and the operation would be done in the driver itself for drivers that support it. This is something that has annoyed me in a small way for a while. Between title edits that change filenames and my own playing with the filename template, I've got a lot of books that are not exactly where they should be. As kobo ignores the filename itself in the UI, this isn't a big deal, but if I use something other than kobo's gui, it gets annoying fast. |

The Kobo GUI is my primary interface, but occasionally I've pulled the SD card to retrieve documents in an emergency. I've tried koreader, but its lack of any kind of tagged browsing or a controllable zoom makes it fairly useless to me.
I know I can delete and resend documents to fix the filenames, but it'd be so much easier and faster to automatically rename them instead if there was a way to add that support to the driver. Usually I just live with the mess and let the GUI cover it up. |

There are no restore functions in the plugin because it should only be done with care.
The annotations files can be restored to the directory "Digital Editions/Annotations". This only contains annotations for epubs and PDF files. If you sideload kepubs, their annotations are only stored in the database. The device database can be restored to replace the new database in the .kobo directory. After doing this, you should restart the device. For either of these to work properly, the books have to be restored to the same place and file name they were when the backups were done. But, I don't normally recommend restoring the database after a factory reset. The database backups are more for recovery from a corrupted database. Restoring a recent good backup will usually solve this problem. |

thank you for your advice. i copied today all the annotions from my backup into that folder (digital editions/annotions) but i dont see them in my books.
what did i make wrong`? in case i want to make the backup file working on my kobo, i just copie it into the .kobo folder? do i need to rename it into KoboReader.sqlite? the file name of my backup is: KoboReader-KoboGloHD-N437585902979-20170416-122357 Last edited by egin; 04-22-2017 at 08:50 AM. |

When I change the status of a book from read to unread, it still show the the old percentage in Percentage Read Column instead of being undefined.

At first I use the Update Metadata to set the books as unread, and reconnect to Calibre.
I also tried from the device with the same result. Last edited by oren64; 05-04-2017 at 11:23 AM. |
