Also, this isn't a plugin problem. It is a metadata plugboard. The same plugboard could be used for any device. |

Thank you, using "rating_to_stars" fixed the problem. Much appreciated.

I'm fiddling with this function in my plugboard, but can't get it to show half stars. It uses a column for Goodreads ratings in the format x.xx.
Tried: rating_to_stars(value,use_half_stars) rating_to_stars(value,1) rating_to_stars(value,use_half_stars=1) ...and more, but I guess I don't understand what to do. I get only whole stars. How do I get half stars to work? |

Code:
rating_to_stars(value,1) If you are still having problems, I would suggest asking in the Library Management sub-forum. That will get the attention of @chaley who has been working on the template functions. |

That is one way I tried, but still no half stars. I will post in the other forum. Thank you!

Question: was the 'change reading status' dialog removed? I can still do it by using restore bookmark or update metadata but I can't find the menu option.
EDIT: I am dumb. It was there but I had to switch to Device first. |

It is also included in the Update Metadata dialog if you are looking at the library.

Update to version 2.14.0 - ToC Updater
I have just released a new version of the plugin. The only change it the addition of the ToC Updater that is in the "recent" beta. There were some minor since the beta, but, the basics are the same.
The change list for this release is:
The details of how to use this are in the original post for the beta or the help. Calibre will announce the update in the next hour or so. If there are any problems with plugin, please report them here. |

Question: Aside from selecting every book to run "Update ToC", is there a way to check for out-of-date TOCs?

Database backups not being created
Having always manually performed backups, I recently attempted to setup automated backups. However, after configuring for each device separately, no backup files are being created, having checked each individual directory for evidence of a file. I've also performed a search of the entire referenced drive and only my manual backups exist. To confirm I had not missed something, I referenced the help file. I have done the following for each device (first time all devices, second attempt only one device). What am I missing?
[Device this profile is for: selected]
v 2.14.0 Calibre 5.22.1 |

FWIW, that appears to work fine on my end (Linux).
Anything wonky about the destination path (e.g., !ascii)? |

Not that I am aware of unless... it doesn't like the external drive, but it's the same drive I use for the Calibre library and manual device database backups. (Win 10 laptop)

And for the record, the profiles on the first tab are not connected to the settings on the second tab. The profiles can use the devices, but, they do not include the settings on that page. |

To be honest, I don't recall ever noticing a connection status. I assumed, incorrectly, that since I had always made manual backups that automated ones would work as well. What happens "under the hood" that is different between manual/automated?
Currently there are four devices listed in the plugin, all of which display the correct s/n. There have been no factory resets, only patching applied with each firmware update (and Calibre 4.23 => 5.xx). I'll check for status icons at first available opportunity tomorrow, then should I just remove all devices and start from scratch? |
