Libra Colour Filter out CBR/CBZ in Nickel

jacobfresco · 03-11-2025, 07:53 AM

I have several comics on my KLC, but I mostly read books using the standard Nickel UI. However, I use KOReader for comics. Is it possible to filter out the comics (CBZ/CBR) in Nickel (and vice versa, (k)epub in KOReader) for easy of mind (and to satisfy my ginormeous OCD when it comes to ebooks)?

Edit: I sideload all (k)epubs and comics using Calibre; no online sync to a store whatsoever

Yes, you can make a folder on your Kobo named something like .library

Because it begins with a dot, it is ignored by Nickel.

Then set your Koreader to use .library as the home directory (just browse to it and long press on it, the option is there)

One method might be to set the ExcludeSyncFolders to prevent Nickel from scanning the location where comics are stored; similarly there must be a setting in KOReader to filter out the location where ePubs / kepubs are stored.

Search the forums for more info on the ExcludeSyncFolders settings.

Of course, you'll also need to configure calibre and it's locations for storing content. I seem to remember that people have posted examples of configuring different locations based on file type.
