Comment 9 for bug 1598017

Thanks for looking into this. Yes, it seems I last updated that configuration in May 2013 when I added shelves for Kobo. I had not thought about configuration since then.

What I have done is to copy the file from my Linux machine to my Windows machine. When I restarted Calibre and attached my Kobo, everything worked fine, and I still had my custom Kobo shelves. I can now open the configuration in Preferences without an error message.

Thanks again,
Philip Yant

Onderwerp: [Bug 1598017] Re: Unable to connect to Kobo Glo

Thanks for the file. I can see what is happening and why. This simple answer is that it has been a very long time since you changed the driver configuration. It is missing some options. The configuration migration code isn't checking for this.

I will fix this, but it will be to late for you. I recommend deleting the file device_drivers_KOBOTOUCH.py while calibre is closed. The default settings will be used and everything will be OK. You current configuration has:
- "Save template": {author_sort}/{title} - {authors}
- "Collections Column": #myshelves
- "Create Collections" is checked.

I think the save template is the default and if you don't use collections, you will be OK with using the default configuration.
