A few months ago there was a glitch where just opening one of the Calibre json settings files in Notepad++ was enough to break things and cause errors.

Reading List Plugin Issue

JimmXinu, I was unable to reproduce the issue. Sorry. I'm really puzzled, since I never messed with "plist files" or any other messing around. Just used the standard GUI interface of the plugin to configure. If I eventually find I can duplicate the problem, I'll will post again.

I uninstalled RL and downloaded and installed the one you posted on this thread. It works as expected, with no issues.

One question: I use an iPad to access my calibre library located on a web server. I had set up a couple Virtual Libraries and can access them on my iPad. However, I don't see how to access the Lists I create using the RL plugin. How would I do this, if I may ask?

Thanks for your assistance today.

Paul

You don't. Or at least, not directly.

As implemented today, UI plugins such as Reading List have no interaction with Calibre's Content Server. Calibre simply doesn't allow it.

However, RL has options for setting custom columns (or even Tags) for books that are in lists. I think that's as good as it gets for seeing Reading Lists from Content Server right now.


I see only 3 downloads on the last posted test version.

Anybody else care to give it a try? I hesitate to release a new version with so few testers.

I've been running it for a bit without any issues, though since no se española or have missing defaults I can't test those specifically.

Hi ownedbycats, I'm doing something similar using RL. I have been going through the 70 odd pages of this thread to get ideas on how to setup RL.

I was wondering if you have a way to automatically remove finished books from your list? I don't mind adding them manually, but if I forget to remove it from the list, the next sync adds it back.

I think it might have been working like that when I first set it up, but maybe I just thought it did The more I read, the more confused I seem to be getting.
Thanks!

No. I do it manually. And it's less of an issue now that I leave books on the device after finishing them and instead use the "reading" filter on the book list.

Hi, just a couple of comments: in this version, I've got to redo some chains in the plugin "Action Chains" because of the translation... and I've missed the device to send the books in a Default List. Easy to solve, problem is to be aware of it.

thanks for letting us know. I just checked myself, but thankfully I didn't have to fix any chains.

Good! I think the problem is the translation, so it doesn't recognize the action.

Since Terisa de morgan's reported location is Madrid, Spain, I assume the issue is the same as "Favourites" has when a translation is added or updated, or a user changes which translation they use.

I don't know of anyway around it, sorry.

Reading List series order in Kobo

Hi all,

I got Reading List all set up in Calibre and have it syncing to my Kobo as a collection. What I'm stuck on is getting the actual order to show up on my Kobo as a second series. I don't want to lose the series information for the novels, but I'd like to be able to sort the reading order by priority.

Any ideas? Is it even doable?

Thanks

Kobo has subtitles. It available in the KoboTouch driver settings. Something like this ought to work:

Code:
{#yourreadinglistcolumn} {#yourreadinglistcolumn_index}
It's also possible with some Kobo Utilities trickery to make the collection actually appear in order, but rather tedious.

Well it's nice to know I'm not a total idiot. I got this far with the save template

{author_sort}/{title} - {authors}/{series}-{series_index} {#readingorder} {#readingorder_index}

but I must be missing something obvious because it only shows me the series information on the screen.

The save template is used for the filename. Kobo does not use this. They use the metadata from the file. To set the subtitle as @ownedbycats suggests, you need to do it in the driver configuration. On the third tab are options to update the metadata when the device is connected. You can set a template for the subtitle there. You can also do this using my Kobo Utilities plugin. You can use that to do some experimenting to see if it is suitable. For both cases, the book has to have been sent to the device and imported by it.

If you do set the subtitle, you will be able to search for the text used as the subtitle, but, you will not be able to sort on it.
