If I then click Connect Share, there is no indication that Connect to Folder is in use. Right clicking on that line does nothing. If I then restart Calibre, the ondevice column is no longer visible. Or did I misunderstand your reply? |

![]() I don't use Reading List. That might do something tricky ![]() I did have OnDevice stuck years ago and it was because I had connected to a folder. Do you actually HAVE a device plugged in? Simply use the Eject device on the Device Icon. |

I had thought Reading List, when I plug in my device, checks what books are on the device and marks the ondevice column for books that are on the device. When I click View List from Reading List, it searches for those marks (using the search bar function), so that only books with that mark are visible and it makes the ondevice column visible as the leftmost column. When I clear the search bar, it lists all books and the ondevice column continues to be visible. When I restart Calibre, the ondevice column is no longer visible (since it's in a position to the right of visible columns). I'd rather the column was only visible when I want it to be visible and that there was an easy way to make it not visible other than restarting Calibre. Apologies if I'm being obtuse. EDIT: "If you want a way to show the list of books on your device when the device isn't connected, use Reading List to set a tag or some custom column, then use that." I'm using Reading List for that purpose. The issue is having the column not be visible when I don't want it to be visible. Last edited by foosion; 07-24-2024 at 12:46 PM. |

When you select the list, reading list sets the mark for each book in the list then searches for that mark. The ondevice column isn't used for this. Quote:
Marks will continue to show in the line number column. Quote:

What I think you are doing is using Reading List to keep a persistent record of what was on the device the last time you connected. When the device isn't connected then you are then selecting that list to see the books. Because reading list uses marks to do its job, you see the mark pins. There is no ondevice column. When you are done, clear the marks. You can avoid using marks by having reading list update a custom column or the tags column when you connect. For example, reading list could add/remove the tag "OnDevice" when you connect the device. This will persist after you remove the device. You then use search to find books with or without the tag OnDevice, as you wish. |

I have created a new column "Kobo" with a lookup name "#onkobo" that's Yes/No. Read List syncs to my Kobo as soon as it is connected. Column update options are "Update column for add or remove", column to update is the #onkobo, and value is "Y". After plugging in my Kobo, this populates the column I created with checkmarks if they are on my Kobo. Is there a way to search for the checked entries? Otherwise I can just sort on the Kobo column to see a compact list which of my books are on the Kobo. The only thing I'm missing that I'd get with search is a count (although it seems I can click on Reading List for a count). I think I finally have it, other than the search issue. |

Looks like it's now working the way I'd like. Yay!
Many thanks. Much appreciated. |

Actually, you should use #onkobo:yes. In calibre searches, the search term "true" tests whether a column has a value. For Yes/No columns, both Yes and No are values so "true" will find both of these. An empty cell has no value, so "true" won't find these.
#onkobo:no will find books with the value "no". It won't find "yes" or empty columns. Of course, "true" will work if the column values are either "yes" or empty, and never "no". The search documentation in the calibre manual goes into detail about the meaning of search terms. Last edited by chaley; 07-25-2024 at 08:50 AM. Reason: grammar |

When I import a new book into Calibre, it puts a red X (for no) into the column, so "yes" is needed to make things work properly.
I edited the X away, for aesthetic reasons. |

You must have set the default value of the Yes/No column to "No". Leave the default box empty.

Is there a keyboard shotcut to move books up and down the list in the Edit List dialog?

Request: would it be possible to modify the plugin so that it had a down triangle at the right which would open the list of the various plugin options (see edit metadata, preferences, convert books, etc.) and to be able to customize the plugin to choose default behavior when you click on the plugin?
I'd like to make it easier to sync now. |
