KOHighlights v2.0.0.0

This is a major update for KOHighlights.

• It is adding a new concept, the Sync Groups.
  Sync Groups can be used to sync reading position and merge highlights between multiple books in different devices.
  These are groups of paths to different sidecar folder contents (.sdr folders with metadata .lua files), that can be synced together and to the database.
  Big thanks to @edo-jan for the beta testing.

• There are some GUI additions, like dark/light themes and new icons.

• Also, the app has now preliminary support for the upcoming changes to the KOReader's metadata structure.

• Finally, there are some compatibility changes.
  Because of the transition from Python 2/PySide to Python 3/PySide2, Windows XP are no longer supported and the Installer must uninstall any previous 1.x version.
  For Linux, the supported distributions are from Ubuntu 18 and up.

• Added:

  • Sync Groups as a way to sync position/merge highlights between books on different devices.
  • Option for Dark/Light/No theme and old/new icons.
  • Support for the upcoming changes to the KOReader's metadata.

• Changed:

  • Upgrade code to Python 3, Pyside2, so no more WindowsXP and Ubuntu 16 support.
  • When merging highlights between different devices, the app tries to re-compute the page numbers, so that are not all over the place.
  • Merging highlights will now keep the latest version of their comments.
  • Better wording with fewer items for the Export menu, if only one item is selected.
  • Can now delete highlights from the Highlights view.
  • Removed the requirement for the Statistics plugin to be enabled.

• Fixed:

  • Some times there was an error when deleting a highlight.
  • Delete a highlight from the highlight list some times did not work.
  • Display wrong highlight count if more than one highlight on the same page.

KOHighlights v1.7.2.0

• Fixed
  • This is a Windows only release that fixes the startup problem that v1.7.1.0 introduced. 😞

KOHighlights v1.7.1.0

• Added:
  • This is a Windows only release that adds a portable mode for... Windows.
    When KOHighlights runs in Portable mode, will use a portable_settings directory to store its settings, that is located inside the installation directory of the app.
    Because of this, it is advised to not install the app inside the Program Files folder if you indent to use it as portable.
    There are two ways to start the app in Portable mode:
    • Run the KoHighlights Portable.exe that is located next to the KoHighlights.exe.
    • Run KoHighlights.exe with a -p argument.
      E.g. create a shortcut for the KoHighlights.exe and add a space and a -p argument at the end of the target filename.

• Added:
  • Export highlights as markdown files.
  • Chapter title is available as part of the highlight data.
  • The document path from the metadata is used to locate the book if the .sdr folder is in the "DocSettings" directory of KOReader.
• Fixed:
  • "Scan Directory" / "About" shortcuts weren't working.

KOHighlights v1.6.0.0

• Added:
  • New toolbar button "Filter" to filter the current view's items by searching for keywords in Highlights and/or Comments and/or Book titles.
• Changed:
  • Added an arrow to the "Archived" view button, to invoke a drop-down menu with actions for the Archive database (other than right-clicking on it)
• Fixed:
  • Problem when exporting highlights from books with very long filenames (Github issue here)
