A rather odd popup when I connected my Sage to calibre this morning. I checked the version file and it looks okay. A second connection and firmware check did not show the popup. A one off?

And, DNSB, selecting all books for Update Metadata works as well -- it'll report on how many books didn't get updated. When you have thousands of books, you try to cut the work to what's actually needed. |

Given that my main library currently has ~16,000 books in it, I just find it easier to control-A and update metadata than trying to select books scattered through the library. I my Intake library, I tend to select only the needed books but that is a lot fewer books since the books are moved to Main after I am happy with the covers/metadata/editing.
For those who might be interested, I've attached screenshots of the KoboUtilities base menu when no device, device present and library selected and device present and device selected. Last edited by DNSB; 07-09-2024 at 03:08 AM. |

In my library, I use Reading List and a send-to-device list, which updates #kobostatus to identify those books as such.
After it's imported to the device database. I run an action chain on it for some regular setup (uploading covers, updating ToCs, pre-setting the font). Last edited by ownedbycats; 07-09-2024 at 05:52 AM. |

At trying to download the new firmware for my Kobo Clara 2E, I receive this notice continuously:

Don't use the plugin to get the firmware. Use pgaskin's site https://pgaskin.net/KoboStuff/kobofirmware.html

Is there someone who can remove the code for the Kobo firmware checking as it no longer works?

Beta Version 2.16.15
Removes the nonfunctional "Check for firmware update" from the menu. Specifically, I just commented out the lines that add the menu option (590-596 in action.py). EDIT: Outdated ZIP file removed Last edited by chaley; 07-13-2024 at 07:59 AM. |
