New optional sdr location

[mergen3107]

Hi @Hzj-jie ,

There is an ongoing development of the new centralized sdr folder location: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/10132

Just letting you know, in case you would like to update your FindHistory plugin.

Sorry, I totally missed this thread. If my understanding is correct, the new location is configurable. Does it mean setting the home as koreader/ would mitigate the change?

Most probably koreeader/docsettings/ , but I don't think it should be set as Home. Home is where all the books are available to browse and open, for example, in Books/

[Hzj-jie]

Yes, I am trying to understand if the functionality is totally broken or if there is a way to workaround it. And by default, the locations are still side-by-side with books, right?

[Frenzie]

The default hasn't changed.

I imagine you could work around it (but I'm not entirely sure what it is :-) by reading the relevant location setting or something.

[hius07]

We can choose between 3 locations of books metadata: book folder (default), koreader/docsettings, koreader/hashdocsettings. Changing the setting doesn't change the location of previously opened books. This plugin cannot retrieve the book path from two new locations.

Now the path to the book is stored in its sdr file as doc_path.
