Find History Plugin - extra folders

[mergen3107]

@Hzj-jie

Thank you very much for this plugin!

It recently saved me a lot of time when I needed to recover after data wipe (Kindle update).

Can you please help me add other folders to search through besides Home folder?

The thing is, I use Zotero plugin. It saves downloaded PDF articles in /mnt/us/koreader/zotero/storage/ folder, whereas my Home folder for books is /mnt/us/books/. Another folder outside Home is /mnt/us/pictures - where I have helping pictures for books (maps, diagrams, etc - very useful to have them in History so I can go back via gesture).

As a workaround, for now I can temporarily set Home folder as /mnt/us/ just for the Find History plugin.
I can, of course, put pictures in Home folder too…

The problem is that when I use the plugin again, it leaves Zotero articles and Pictures behind.

Admittedly, I’d need to do this maybe only a few time more (after I find more books’ backups I lost last time), but I don’t want to loose these articles after each time.

Thank you!

Solution as I see it maybe a menu entry that allows to add multiple paths

Thank you for reaching out. Previously the plugin was designed to avoid breaking the existing history, i.e. the backup and restore function. But I think an easy approach would be allowing the plugin to append rather than override the history. Does it sound like a good enough solution?

Thank you!
Yes, probably, if it can avoid duplicates?

Yes, duplication can be easily avoided.
