Unhappy Calibre get list of books on device takes literally forever.
It takes up to 24 hours THEN crashes when crawling the android tablet. It is hell bent on looking at every single cbr on the devise plus on a card. I have tried making exceptions for these in the preferences but nothing seems to help.

TIA,
-mice

Shouldn't this be in the Calibre forum?

I thought it was in the Calibre forum. MobileRead Forums > E-Book Software > Calibre

How can I get my device to just view books and not trawl through cbrs?

You cannot exclude filetypes, you can exclude individual directories (but only after the initial scan is completed). Simply right click the device icon in calibre and choose configure this device.

I read a bunch of people on this forum saying the initial scan takes forever. Meaning 7 min. It literally takes 24 hours then fails. It has yet to complete a successful scan.

Guess I have no choice but to keep trying.

You can always use one of the wireless methods instead. MTP over USB is dog slow, so it is not really suited for managing vast collections.

Maybe the "Kindle Trick" helps here: remove all books from the device, and then add them in batches of 10-50 or so, depending on size and speed of your device.

(The Kindle has a search indexer that can take forever and make the device slow in operation, if you put huge amounts of books on the device all at once.)

Nope, it was in the "android" forum. But a helpful mod has moved it, so it is all good now.

It took many failures but it finallt completed a cycle successfully. It now doesn't look for cbrs and takes 10 minutes to complete.
