| maxolasersquad | mhall119: ping | 13:26 |
| mhall119 | maxolasersquad: pong | 13:29 |
| maxolasersquad | mhall119: Are you working on the Calibre page sync? | 13:54 |
| mhall119 | maxolasersquad: it's on my list for this cycle, I haven't done anything on it yet though | 13:56 |
| mhall119 | why, you want to do it? | 13:56 |
| maxolasersquad | I have setup the Calibre Library in Ubuntu One to sync across computers. By doing that, if I read a book on one PC, and then switch to another, then the other PC starts me off right where I left off. | 13:57 |
| maxolasersquad | I think just synching Calibre Library/metadata.db should do it, but I haven't tested just syncing that file, and not the whole folder. | 13:58 |
| mhall119 | that works for calibre | 13:59 |
| maxolasersquad | There's also an xml file for each book named metadata.opf, but I don't see anything in there to indicate the page the user left off on. | 13:59 |
| mhall119 | but it doesn't let you sync with other ebook readers | 14:00 |
| maxolasersquad | Isn't that logic application specific? | 14:00 |
| mhall119 | the data isn't, just book:pagenum | 14:07 |
| maxolasersquad | I wonder if syncing e-readers with calibre also syncs the current page. | 14:07 |
| maxolasersquad | Probably not. | 14:07 |
| mhall119 | not likely | 14:07 |
| mhall119 | that's why I wanted to write something that would | 14:08 |
| maxolasersquad | The good news is that Calibre plugins are Python. | 14:12 |
| maxolasersquad | I thought the desire was for page sycning to work across the PCs. | 14:12 |
| mhall119 | maxolasersquad: across PCs, phones, tablets, etc | 14:13 |
| mhall119 | my personal goal is Calibre, FBReader and my nook Touch | 14:14 |
| mhall119 | the nook will require rooting though | 14:14 |
| maxolasersquad | One thing that may simplify the process is if there was a single place to put books, such as ~/Books, the same way music and pictures have their dedicated, non-app-specific folder. | 14:15 |
| maxolasersquad | As opposed to ~/FBooks and ~/Calibre Library | 14:16 |
| maxolasersquad | ~/Books is already supported by FBReader. | 14:16 |
| mhall119 | maxolasersquad: true, I was going to try and fine a filesystem-independent way of uniquely identifying books | 14:16 |
| maxolasersquad | mhall119: Did some digging. The epub file is a zip file. In there is a file at META-INF/calibre_bookmarks.txt which is how Calibre knows where you where last. | 16:17 |
| mhall119 | maxolasersquad: ah, nice, thanks | 16:18 |
| maxolasersquad | I'm not sure how FBReader does it. | 16:18 |
| mhall119 | be either | 16:20 |
| maxolasersquad | I think it's in a sqlite file. Either ~/.FBReader/books.db or ~/.FBReader/state.db | 16:32 |
| mhall119 | ah, cool | 16:33 |
| mhall119 | I was planning on using U1DB to syncronize data | 16:33 |
| maxolasersquad | Yes, I think the table BookStateStack in state.db has it. I'll have to verify. Off to lunch. | 16:39 |
