connected_device_name() failure in 5.99.10

[ownedbycats]

Calibre 5.99.10 (running beta)

When my Kobo Libra H2O is connected, program: connected_device_name('main') returns an empty value. In 5.44, it returned 'Kobo Libra H2O.'

Posting it here as it appears to be a template issue.

Thanks.

Where are you using this template?

[ownedbycats (ownedbycats)]

In the conditional for an Action Chain, but I also tried it in the template tester.

I tried the following steps:

1) Connect to a folder
2) Open the termplate editor dialog
3) Use the following template:

program:connected_device_name('main')

the result was 'Folder Device' as expected.
I dont have a Kobo to test with but I dont see why the actual device
should make a difference. Can you replicate with connect to folder?

Still getting a blank result

That's just the preview not updating. Check and uncheck the enable
breakpoints checkbox and the preview will update as expected. I dont use
the template editor so I dont know if this behavior is new to Qt 6 or it
was always like that.

'Folder Device' did show up after breakpoints.

I did some more testing. With the breakpoints thing, 'Kobo Libra H2O' did show up on the template tester, but for some reason it's not passing through to Action Chains' condition evalulator. I'll post it on the plugin thread.

The issue with the template editor not auto-updating as you type was a
regression, now fixed.
