Re-install of the plugin does not repopulate folder [BUG] #251

Open billpetro opened 1 year ago

billpetro commented 1 year ago

Describe the bug

I discovered the plugin was not saving all my highlights/notes from each book into the "Kindle" folder in my vault.

So I moved the folder elsewhere, removed the plugin, reinstalled the plugin, ran it expecting it would create and fill another new "Kindle" folder, but it does not.

I read somewhere that Kindle has a "throttle" on how much it will export, and that may have been why it didn't originally export all my notes for each book.

How can I "restart" the whole process

Method of syncing

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behaviour:

  1. So I moved the folder elsewhere
  2. Removed the plugin
  3. Reinstalled the plugin
  4. Ran it expecting it would create and fill another new "Kindle" folder, but it does not.
  5. Share error(s) from Developer Tools console "Kindle Highlights plugin: loading plugin 4/26/2023, 5:17:27 PM"

Expected behaviour

Re-install should rescan and deposit highlights/notes into new "Kindle" folder

Another question is where the plugin save the info about the synced books? Can we remove it so we can reset the sync state? It would be great to have an option to clear the plugin state.
