Plus, I'd like to have the updated Collections when Meme gets done fixing it. (I feel like I've built an assembly line and am waiting to push the start button. It may start raining virtual widgets if it doesn't go as planned.) Quote:
Say I've got multiple ereaders. Since I'm maintaining them for both myself and my roommate, I want a list that maintains a running total of "John's Books" and "Christa's Books". Yes, I could do this manually, no problem, but think of this as an exercise in workflow management rather than sheer laziness. In this case, the desired action would be to select the book, then choose a command that either: a) adds the book to a selected list, and flags that book for sync on the Miserati (Literati) - once the sync is completed, the flag is cleared but everything else stays the same (the assigned book list and any assigned tags.) You would still have a separate sync list and reading list, it just wouldn't be visible as such at that moment. or b) adds the book to a sync list, then assigns a user-designated device-specific tag to a specified column once the sync is completed. Then it's flushed. In this scenario, I simply input the same tags I use in Reading Lists, effectively getting the same tag browser results but not actually adding it to the Reading List. Yes, I know that's not what I said before. I've had time to think about this. It would not work for everyone. The second option would, however, work for those of us who use the Reading List mostly in conjunction with the tag browser. For me, it's the tag that makes the whole thing work. Besides, as far as I can tell, removing a book from a list or changing the assigned tag isn't retroactive, so tag revisions are already done manually. (Or am I wrong about that?) If I really wanted to keep the books on the actual list, I could just create a search to find books with that tag but not on that list and add them myself. Second point - (Yeah, my first point was long...) regarding single list/multiple devices, is a "copy to (device) list" option possible? It would keep them separate but the same. You would need a function to identify and prevent duplicates, if that's not already in place. Kind of "check list a, add anything from list b not already there". These are only my ideas. I'm counting on you to tell me when I'm being silly. |

@CWatkinsNash - thx for your thoughts. I'm going to throw a monkey wrench in your plans and shortly release a new version of the Reading List plugin that incorporates all the functionality of Book Sync.
I'll let you make any comments on the Reading List thread. It will effectively deprecate this plugin - certainly you would not have both installed and there will be nothing that Book Sync currently does that cannot be done in the Reading List plugin. I'm like a dog with a bone I'm afraid, I told you it was gnawing at me... |

Yes, it does recognize both the Nook device and the storage card. When the device is connected, the main toolbar shows "Device" and "Card A" and allows me to determine where to send my books. It does default to the device; if I want something to go to the SD card, I need to indicate that. I'm not 100% sure, but I think I remember that you could select one or the other as the default in the configuration.

Yeah, I knew that. Just was too lazy to open the program and actually look at the interface. I'm a baaaad girl that way. Very intuitive and "auto-pilot" when it comes to software of almost any kind; I do it without thinking at all. It's a good thing that when I actually teach, I turn that tendency off and get super-deliberate! |
