[GUI Plugin] Kobo Utilities - Page 56

Leonatus · 01-02-2015, 06:29 AM

Happy New Year all!

In the Utilities, I've checked the "Backup Database of Device" option. A folder where the backup should be stored is defined. But each time when I connect the device, I receive this error message:

Code:

*** in database main ***
Page 76 is never used

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\calibre\gui2\device.py", line 87, in run
  File "calibre_plugins.koboutilities.jobs", line 184, in do_device_database_backup
Exception: 
*** in database main ***
Page 76 is never used

I have no idea whwt is happening. Can someone help, please?

@Leonatus: After taking a backup of the database, it is checked for errors. If there are any errors, then the backup file is renamed to include "CORRUPT". The plugin doesn't care what the error is, just that the error checking reported one.

In this case, it is a harmless error. A page has been allocated in the database, but doesn't have anything pointing to it. If you compress the database, it will clean this up and the error will go away.

I have just released version 2.0.0 of the plugin. This adds three new functions and involved a major rewrite of the background code.

The new function is:

Handling of multiple Kobo devices through profiles and recognition of the devices.
Remove Annotation files
Set Related Books.

There are also some smaller changes such as a fix for something that was causing problems when using Calibre Companion. Also, the help has been updated with the new function and some of the things that have been missing. It is still incomplete, but it is better than before. While updating the help, I created an ePub of the help. And Terisa has been kind enough to update the Spanish translation.

Multiple devices and Profiles
The major change is for the handling of multiple Kobo devices. The reason for doing this was to allow storing of the reading status for different people using different devices. This is done by creating profiles for the store/restore function that can use different sets of custom column. Each profile can be set to be used for a different device. As with the previous store/restore options, the profiles are created for the current calibre library. The current configuration will be migrated to a profile for all devices. This profile is called "Migrated". If you only have one Kobo device, you can use this with no changes.

As well as profiles for store/restore, the database backup and firmware check can be configured for all devices or each device individually.

These options are all in the configuration dialog. This has been changed to have three tabs; one each for "Profiles", "Devices" and "Other". The last is where general options such as the button and shortcut configuration is done.

Remove Annotation files
This is to remove the annotations files created when reading ePubs on the main memory. This is useful because of the bug when reopening epubs and the annotations list gets messed up. Also, the device doesn't delete the files, so if you send a book again, it can reopen with the old annotations. Of course, that can be handy.

There are several options for which files to remove. Personally, I just remove them all.

Set Related Books
The details screen for books has a tab for "Related books". For books from Kobo, this is populated with books that Kobo think are related. This can be books in the same series, by the same author, genre or something else. For sideloaded books, the tab is there, but it is empty.

This function sets the related books for sideloaded books. They can be set to either series or authors. When the function is selected, it displays a dialog with these options. Select which is desired and press "Get list". This displays the list of series or authors with a count of books. The list can be edited. When "OK" is pressed, all books in author or series in the list have all the other books added as a related book entry.

The dialog also has a "Delete All" button. Pressing this will remove all the related book entries for all sideloaded books.

This is an alternative to creating a shelf for the series.

As usual, calibre will announce the update in the next hour or so. If there are any problems, please report them here.

I've got a problem with the 2.0.0. Every time I press the toolbar button or select "customize plugin" from the pull down menu, I get an unhandled exception:

Hi! I just updated Calibre to 2.15 and the plugin to 2.0. Now, I can't seem to do a backup of my Kobo Aura upon connecting it to Calibre (I set it to automatically backup daily). I keep getting this error:

Quote:

How do I fix this?

ETA: Nevermind. Found the fix for it. Apparently, either Calibre or the updated plugin removed my Aura from the list of supported devices in the Customise Kobo Utilities option of the plugin.

Hi, I've updated to Calibre 2.15 and the new Plugin and get the following as soon as Calibre restarts with the Kobo Glo connected

Sorry, I messed something up with the configuration migration. I was being a little to smart in how I handled this. This caused some errors when the options were used as some where missing.

I have fixed the migration. I have also fixed the later handling so that it will correctly use defaults when parts of the configuration are missing. calibre will announce the update in the next hour or so.

DJMOON · 01-04-2015, 04:53 AM

Hi

Sorry, just took the update and restarted Calibre, Plugin status shows I'm now running 2.0.1

Same error

Am I missing something in the config?

DJMOON · 01-04-2015, 05:00 AM

I'm now able to get to the config menu of Kobo Utilities. There was no device picked on the second tab. I added the "connected" device and I'm now able to start Calibre with the device connected. Probably a special case given I had installed the earlier version?

Seems to fix it for me, thanks a lot!

I had to install 2.0.1 afresh though, 'cause 2.0.0 was breaking access to my device. And I don't know if Calibre keeps settings for uninstalled plugins.

UP: Ouch, spoke too early. After I ejected the device from Calibre (uploaded nothing, just an automatic backup) I tried to go to the KoboUtilities options once more and got this:

Code:

Seems to be reproducible:

Run Calibre
Plug in your device
Eject the device with Calibre
Go to KoboUtilities→Customize plugin (or just press the plugin toolbar button)

Got that on the first connect with 2.0.1, but couldn't reproduce it after that. Maybe because I've added my device to the plugin config.

Thank you, that worked for me!

davidfor · 01-04-2015, 08:33 AM

I have just uploaded V2.0.2 which should fix the problems DJMOON and hoichi reported. Calibre should be announcing it fairly soon.

DJMOON's problem was that I was a little simplistic with one of my fixes earlier and missed a case. The error hoichi reported should only have happened if you opened the configuration immediately after ejecting the device. There seems to be a few seconds where the two methods I need to use to get the device information are inconsistent about whether there is a device connected or not.

To answer some other comments:

- Calibre doesn't remove configuration when you uninstall a plugin.
- The plugin can work without any devices listed. They are only needed if you want to use a different profile or backup and firmware check settings.

howyoudoin · 01-04-2015, 09:19 AM

David, there's an issue with the "Related Content" feature.

I have one book by Author A and another co-authored by authors A and B. They don't show up as related when set to relate by author. IMO, they should.

Excellent work otherwise!
