Koreader bombs when attempting built-in update after dev version

edojan · Today, 04:22 PM

Koreader crashes when I try to update using the built-in update feature. It appears that this is a known issue as described in https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/12115

What is the best way to update manually without loosing my fonts and other settings? (I am on Kobo Libra 2 and have downloaded koreader-kobo-v2024.07.zip) What should I do next?

Just copy and overwrite KOReader directory. All settings and metadata will be preserved

Where are settings and metadata saved then?

In files that are not overwritten by released bundles.

Metadata are saved in folder that have same name as books + .sdr in the end (sidecar).
By default they are located in the same folder as the book. There are other options where to save them.

Settings are stored in settings.reader.lua, and settings folder (also history.lua for history of opened books). None of these are present in a release, so won’t be overwritten
