Unfortunately, I have no idea. I only have to manually reload the covers for a few books on iOS

No idea if it relates to your problem or not, but I discovered that putting a .nomedia file in the library directory to prevent photos/gallery apps finding cover images also prevented Calibre Sync from finding the cover images.
A 'hidden' .nomedia file in your library or its parent dirs could be your issue? |

This is a complete and utterly stupid noob question. I can't find the default Library view from which to select download path for my calibre library. When I open Calibre sync it opens into smart device. On the left drop down menu I can chose downloaded books, smart device, add library etc. Add Library I end up with choosing
Right is the Clear all filters, Disconnect, Update inbox directory, clean temporary files, refresh few help and faq and Delecte smart device. What am I doing wrong? How do I get to where I can chose download location? I've been reading the instructions and FAQ. |

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly. When you click on add library, don't you get this selection menu [iOS]?

Great app !!
Sorting and filtering to select just the book or books to read really useful and ( after a bit of playing around ) really easy to use. I do have an issue with using Mega cloud server, sent to you as a private email. |

How to explore my library using CalibreSync's filter option?
I'm looking for recommendations on how to explore that library using a combination of author, Series, Tags, and read/unread ... and limit filter options based upon the previously selected filters. Or find a similar way to explore the library.
I don't have a huge library, but it is not exactly small with just over 450 book, and currenlty managed on my computer via Calibre. But I also would like to carry the library in my ereader. I realize the Calibre Sync has a filter application. But I think I'm missing a step or two. For instance if I set tags for the genre and a tags of interest in the filter, i'd want to easily see a list of Series that contain books with those tags. From there I can drill down into the series to expore the actual books. Or instead of Series, see the list of authors in the library that have books with those tags, and drill down (explore) from there. Looking at the current interface, I'm not sure this is possible and a feature request would be: When filter behavior is set to AND or NOT, limit the available filter options to only those available on books that match the current selected filter set. For example if I select my Fiction tag, then the list of author filters should only show authors that have books tagged with Fiction. If multiple filters have been selected, then the lists available should be limited to those that currently properly match the combined filter. Am I missing something and this is possible now (or at least something close)? How do others do this when traveling (away from the computer)? The Boox device that I have is using the Android environment (in case that is relevant). Thanks. |

In my limited experience, that is exactly what the Filter button does. If you filter on say the tags, you can select ( tick ) any combination of tags from your list of tags, and then up the top select either AND or OR, or NOT. AND makes the selection so that BOTH tags must be present ( list gets smaller ), OR makes the selection to include all books with either tag, ( list gets bigger ), NOT of course takes those books out of the list. After making the selection, hit the tick button at the top to show the filtered list.
What is not obvious is that if you make no selection, you get everything. Thats not logical, but at least you dont start up with all lists showing nothing. It does take a bit of playing around to get the right combinations, but it does work. |

Take another look at my example, it‘s different. Unfortunately there are no parentheses possible in filtering

Just a suggestion for an enhancement to Calibre Sync, which otherwise works perfectly.
A setting to explicitly set Calibre Sync to open a preferred eReader ( I use MoonReader Pro ). Some devices. like the Onyx Boox, default to opening their proprietary reader regardless of the Android setting which supposedly allows to set a default app to launch when opening a file. Calibre Sync and Moonreader work perfectly by themselves on the Boox devices, they just dont quite work together. I am sure this is due to the customised version of Android they use, but it ought to be possible to defeat that. |
