If you open a book on the device, it sets the ReadStatus to 1 and updates the current location, percent read and last read timestamp as you read the book. There is no difference between opening the book the first page and reading all the way to the end and then going back to the first page. Paging through a long book that needs several pages for each percent read, will just record the percentage as zero. But, the stored reading location will be track the correct place. What you are doing will work. But, the plugin will still get the reading location when the book is finished. Just looking at the reading location won't tell you if the book is being read or finished. |

The answer has been for me to use the plugin to reset the books I have opened but am not reading. Calibre now shows me a more realistic view of the books I am currently reading. BobC |

@eXistenZ and Heartloop: Something occurred to me over the weekend and testing it on the Mac at work reproduced the problem.
Did you put KoboUtitlites in the menubar? When I configured this on the Mac, I put it on the "Main toolbar when a device is connected". When it is there, it works perfectly. When I put it on either of the menubar choices, calibre crashes when I try to use it. Could you try removing KoboUtilities from both of the menu bar and putting it on the toolbar? The context menu for books seems to work as well. If that works, you will be able to use the plugin. And I'll hunt for what I missed. |

Would it work to say that you don't change the reading state on auto-updates? So if I have a purchased and side-loaded KePub with some percentage read, when I reset and reload these would be unread (except the purchased one may already have it's reading state set). Then the plugin would not update the side-loaded book because the reading state is different. Similarly, the purchased book would either be a different reading state or identical and not updated anyway.
Or I'm way out in left field ![]() |

I found the time to test, removed beta3, restarted, installed Beta4, restarted again, and now it works!!!!!!!! ![]() By the way when I firstly installed the plug in chose to put it everywhere (contextual menu, Main toolbar and menubar) when device is connected, but only in the contextual menu when there is no device. On every further upgrade (with or without removing the previous version) I was asked no more to chose where to put it, and I don't know how to change my first choice, anyway Beta4 works perfectly from main toolbar and from contextual menu (wich is, now that I know how the plugin works, the best choice). Really thank you again ![]() |

For sideloaded books, my intention is have a way to automatically store the current reading position. It will probably be an extra job run after the current ones have finished. At least on the first release, restore will stay manual. After a factory reset, sideload the books, let the device process them. Reconnect, select all the books that are on the device and restore the reading position. Preventing the automatic job from running or overriding the reading positions in calibre is the concern. I think it actually works now, though I haven't tried it for a while. The "Clear if unread" is supposed to work like that. If this is not checked, and you store the position of a book that is unread, it should not change the calibre library. Just checked the code and that's what it saysm but I haven't tested it in a while. |

To change the toolbars or menus, open the preferences and go to "Toolbar" in the top section. Select the toolbar you want to change from the drop-down list. The right hand list is what is currently on the toolbar, the left is what you can add to it. And you can change the order with the arrows on the right. Quote:

David, is anything you are planning going to be problematic when two people are using calibre--and have different books open , in process, finished? Currently I am the only one using the utility, but that could change.

A solution could be to let the auto storing action from just after the connection, to just before the disconnection (from the Eject Device command), I don't know if it is possible, or another solution is to double the reading position creating an OLD and a NEW reading position for each book, so at the connection of the ereader, data in the NEW are moved in OLD as a safekeper, only after that reading positions in the kobo DB are stored to NEW, doing so if the store action from device to NEW is accidental the real data are safe in OLD ready to be restored (once again, hope it's clear what I want to say). |

The workaround would be to create two sets of the columns and change between them in the configuration for the two users. |

What about using two different calibre libraries?
