But, I have had in the back of my mind to add an option like this. But, it would be to turn off the merge and do a replace. Quote:
And my apologies for not replying before. I think I saw this at a time that couldn't test the first point to make sure it worked, and then forgot all about it. |

Finally looked at this. It looks like the title in the different places are encoded differently. Or they are just different in one character.
In the OPF file: Code:
<dc:title>Nie posiadamy się ze szczęścia</dc:title> Code:
Nie posiadamy się ze szczęścia (Karen Joy Fowler) Code:
DEBUG: 11.7 Book on device title: 'Nie posiadamy siê ze szczêœcia' But, it looks like an unicode issue like we fixed in the Goodreads plugin. If that is right, then wrapping the titles in the same method used there should fix this. Though finding the right spots to do this will be the thing. |

Release Candidate (hopefully)
Attached is what I intend to be the release candidate the plugin. This has two changes over the last beta:
Unfortunately, I have no way to test either of these changes. I don't have a Kindle device, so can't test the first. But, I'll be surprised if it doesn't work. The second is an attempt to fix the problem BeckyEbook reported with titles not matching. As this seems to be a unicode issue, I have applied the normalize function calibre supplies to the title before the comparison that seems to be the problem. The rough list of changes over the last release are:
As usual, please tell if you find any problems. Or, if it works properly. I'd like to release it officially over the weekend. |

Thank you for looking at this problem.
Even yesterday I checked for another book and it did not work. I also think that the "confidence" settings are too restrictive for the Kindle. I suspect that for personal documents downloaded from the cloud on the Kindle, "uuid" is always None, so it's always mismatch. Please update ParseKindleMyClippingsTxt.py file from #440 Edit again: After testing, I finally understood. The plugin works fine for files sent to kindle directly from calibre. If files was sended from calibre (by e-mail) to cloud and downloaded to ereader -- it does not work. In the first post I read: Quote:

I tried it on Mac OS X El Capitan with the latest Calibre release and kindle voyage updated with the latest firmware and didn't find any problems. Ciao, Dario Last edited by dsestero; 01-09-2018 at 02:46 AM. |

Hi there. Can you please tell me if this plugin will ever be capable of syncing DRM-free ePub annotations, between PCs and iPads?
I'm a mom with four (out of six) homeschooled children, and we have 1000's of school-related books which my children access on their (severely restricted) iPads. I REFUSE to use Kindle because of it's total lack of parental controls. At the moment, any annotations (markups, highlighting, notes, bookmarks etc) using iBooks remain in iBooks only and don't sync via iCloud to a PC. I know that we can achieve the same thing (using MS Edge) and bidirectionally sync from their machines to our NAS, and OneDrive etc (tested and it works), but I can't find anything to bridge the gap in a cross-platform environment. I think I've researched "the problem" (and tested different apps, sync facilities etc) as much as I can, and I'm wondering if I'm just "expecting too much". Or, is there a solution that I haven't found yet? I'm hoping you might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks, and I look forward to your reply. |

The answer is probably not.
Support in the plugin for any particular device or ereader app means that the annotation data has to be available somehow, and that someone has to write code. The former means that nothing can be done for a lot of devices. The latter means that someone with the skills has to be interested. And usually means they have to have the device in question. For iPads, the former is probably the main problem. At one time the plugin could sync from one ereader application on the iPad. Unfortunately, Apple changed the way data was accessed on the iPad and this stopped working. A few people tried to get it working by other methods, but no-one could get it working. Also, as I think you are after a method to send annotations back to the device, the Annotations plugin wouldn't be suitable. It is only about retrieving the annotations and merging them into calibre. It has no mechanism to send them the other way, and does not store enough information to allow this to happen. |

Update to version 1.7.0 - Add support for translations
Some of you might not believe it, but I have just released version 1.7.0 of the plugin with translations! As well as the translations, there are other changes and bug fixes. They are primarily around problems with the Kindle support.
The list of changes I have is:
There was a lot of input and help from people here, for which I am very grateful. And thankful they were patient with me, or at least appeared so in their posts As usual, calibre will announce the update in the next hour or so. And, if there are any problems, please report them here. |

There are a few reasons for this. The simplest is that the book on the Kindle with the annotations isn't in your calibre library. Another is that the title and author of the book on the Kindle doesn't match that in the calibre library. When the device is connected, calibre will show a green tick next to all books that are in the library and on the device. It does this using the author and title. If these don't match, then calibre won't show the tick. You can force a match using the device list and the function to match a book to the library (right click on the book). After that, the Annotations plugin should match the annotations to the book. There are some things that can affect this, so it is still not perfect. If it is still not working, make sure you are running the latest version of the plugin. There was bit of work done in this to improve the accuracy of the matches, and run calibre in debug mode, do the annotations fetch and post the debug log after closing calibre. I'll look at the log to see what is going wrong. |
