Koreader bombs when attempting built-in update after dev version
Koreader crashes when I try to update using the built-in update feature. It appears that this is a known issue as described in https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/12115

What is the best way to update manually without loosing my fonts and other settings? (I am on Kobo Libra 2 and have downloaded koreader-kobo-v2024.07.zip) What should I do next?

Just copy and overwrite KOReader directory. All settings and metadata will be preserved

Metadata are saved in folder that have same name as books + .sdr in the end (sidecar).
By default they are located in the same folder as the book. There are other options where to save them.

Settings are stored in settings.reader.lua, and settings folder (also history.lua for history of opened books). None of these are present in a release, so won’t be overwritten

Just be careful on a Mac -- don't select "Replace" when copying the folder to the device, or it will replace the entire folder with the new one, and the additional files will be deleted. Select "Merge" instead. (Press 'option' key while drag&drop the new koreader folder to the device, then select Merge when 'Folder already exists' warning appears.)
