Not finding *.sdr directories recursively?

[anaxonda]

Hello,

Thank you for KoHighlights. I have used it for a few years to transfer highlights over. Recently I have noticed it is not finding sdr directories recursively, and to show highlights for a book I have individually go into each books *.sdr folder to add it to KoHighlights. In the past, just opening the Kobo root directory would populate KoReader with all the books with highlights.

Is there something I need to change?

It should find the directories recursively. If it doesn't, something is wrong. Is there anything strange written to the error.log at KOHighlights settings folder (user/Appdata/Roaming/KOHighlights/)? Unfortunately I'm on holidays and any checking must wait until I return.. 😞

I normally launch KoHighlights directly with a terminal, here's what errors I get (soupsieve package is installed):

So no error.log file in the user settings folder? I don't remember the exact path in Linux, but it must start with "/home/user/" and end with "KOHighlights". ;o) What I'm seeing isn't from the app, except perhaps the first line, and it has nothing to do with the problem we check..

[noembryo]

Just got back to my box, tried to scan the root of my GloHD and it worked as it should.

So, we must check your configuration. I'm guessing that you use the compiled binary and not the python script, correct? Is the same problem exists if you launch it with double clicking the app it self? Did you found the app's settings directory?

If I can't reproduce it, there isn't a way to fix it.. :disappointed:

[anaxonda]

Yes, I use the compiled binary downloaded from the releases page. I launch in terminal via ./KoHighlights. KDE Dolphin does not allow me to launch via double click currently. I have not found the app settings directory, where might I do that?

Using Koreader version 2022.06.

KDE Dolphin does not allow me to launch via double click currently.

What kind of file manager does that? Weird..

I have not found the app settings directory, where might I do that?

It should be at the user part of the file system, something like ~/.config/KOHighlights/ You're looking for a log file named error_log_xxxx-xx-xx.txt, where xxxx-xx-xx is a date.

What kind of file manager does that? Weird.. Seems to be an old bug. I tried launching via double click in thunar file manager, and voile KoHighlights worked as expected. All books and highlights available. It should be at the user part of the file system, something like ~/.config/KOHighlights/ Got it. Nothing remarkable in the error I guess. Here is 'error_log_2022-10-12.txt':

***@***.*** 23:30:05

@.*** 23:30:07

@.*** 23:30:11

@.*** 23:30:13

I guess that solves my problem, I'll just launch via double click now.

Cheers

Yeah. If there is no error to check, I'll consider this solved. :+1:
