This release is primarily aimed at reducing memory usage, which hopefully allows for larger libraries to be used. YMMV on the library size howerver.

Note, books will now appear to take longer to send to the Kobo, as I've changed how the thumbnail images are created.

This release also fixes a bug that didn't disable thumbnail generation when asked.

As usual, this release can be found at releases page of the GitHub repository.
I have tried it and all is ok. Same before, with version 0.5.2. My library has about 800 books.
thanks.
Only one question: when I connect with calibre, kobo-UNCaGED scans my device, and when I upload a book to device, kobo-UNCaGED scans again all books in device, and so on. Each book that I upload causes a new scan of the device. Is it a normal thing?.

EDIT: No, now is very very slow. It is reading metadata several minutes before conectting. I go back to version 0.5.2

Hi, I've recently switched to Kobo Uncaged because my laptop has limited ports. One thing I miss compared to the kobotouchextended driver is collections - I have quite a big library, and replicating my calibre grouping into collections on the kobo is helpful. Is there any way to replicate this functionality in kobo uncaged already?

I'm afraid not. I've never figured out how the shelves/collections work on Kobo, or Calibre. Since I personally don't use that feature it has been (very) low on the priority list I'm afraid.

Actually creating the collections and adding books to them is easy. Both are just inserts into the database. The complication is working out what changes to make. And a smaller complication if a collection has been deleted.

The code is in the driver and should be followable. But, I'm happy to answer questions.

There's also the "Smart device" driver side to figure out as well.

I might get to it one day. No promises though.

The Smart Device driver is building a dictionary based on the collection columns. That is keyed by the collection name and each entry is a list of the file paths for the books on the device. Then it is "just" building the database updates based on the dictionary.

You could also ignore what the driver supplies and do the configuration and collection building on your side. That means your code has to build the list that needs to be updated from the metadata in the books, but, it might give you more control.

This seems to have either broken, or just does not work with the Kobo Sage.

Running
Kobo firmware 4.31.19086
NickelMenu 0.5.4
NickelDBus 0.2.0 (I installed this over what KU installed just in case neither made a difference)
KU 0.5.3Beta1

What happens:

KU's NM item is there, running it the first time did install nickel dbus (since installed over but at least this far it appeared to be doing what it was supposed to). After the NDbus install, subsequent runs of KU produce the following results: Starting KoboUNCaged, running precautionary library rescan, kobo uncaged Finished.

This happens with wifi on OR off, it never prompts me to turn it on.

The same setup works as expected on a Kobo Forma running 4.31.19086 so it does not appear to be the firmware.

Steps taken to fix the issue:

1) Installed ndbus manually just incase it was a weird case of an old version
2) re-downloaded NM and KoboUncaged to ensure I was on the specified versions
3) turned wifi on just in case connecting was the issue
4) since my Sage is patched and I can't recall what patches might conflict nor what patches i had on my Forma, I reinstalled the 4.31 firmware to wipe all patches out

None of the above has had any affect on the process that happens upon running KU.

ETA 1- Apparently the Libra 2 is *also* affected by this issue.

Unfortunately I'm not sure if it's 4.31.19086 on these devices or just these devices. I'll try installing 4.30 on one and see if that fixes it. Though I have my doubts.

ETA 2- Tried 4.30 on the Libra 2 to the same result.

ETA 3- So feeling like a dunce, I checked the log which pretty much confirms it's a Sage/Libra 2 issue:

Code:

As a follow up, the issue had already been reported and solved and I'd just missed it.

https://github.com/shermp/Kobo-UNCaGED/issues/43 has the link any Libra 2 or Sage owners will need until an official release is made.

Many thanks to Sherman as always for this wonderful utility.

Finally, a new release!

Primary purpose of this release is to support the new Libra 2 and Sage devices. Apologies for taking so long on this.

Hmm... I'm not getting anywhere with this. On my Libra H20, I can use the beta browser and see the calibre server contents at HTTP://192.168.1.54:8088. When I try the same connection info in UNCaGED, I get to the screen where it says "Connecting to Calibre", but then it flashes a brief error and UNCaAGED closes, just saying "Finished!".

The log says this:

Not sure what to try, since my Kobo is able to get to the Calibre server using that IP and port from the internal browser, so it doesn't seem to be a port/IP issue. There's nothing at all in the Calibre server log when UNCaGED tries -- it does not appear that any connection attempt was made.

Any suggestions?

I have telnet up on the device, so happy to help troubleshoot.

Hi, sorry for the delayed reply.

Sounds like you are trying to connect to the content server, which won't work.

In Calibre, choose Connect/share -> Start wireless device connection. Also, manually entering the IP address & port is not required in most cases, KU will automatically discover Calibre.

Oh my gosh. That's so embarrassing. Yes, it works fine once I actually use it correctly.

Great to hear!

And don't worry, we've all made that mistake, including myself, so don't feel too bad.
