Do not override the existing history

[Hzj-jie]

For #25, @mergen3107 would you mind take a shot if it works for your scenario?

You may just copy the file https://raw.githubusercontent.com/koreader/contrib/0413b13de4cde84a46be177e8b5c492c7123ec11/findhistory.koplugin/main.lua to replace the existing one in the plugin folder and restart the koreader.

Highly suggest backing up history before hand in case anything goes wrong.

This change is

Hi @Hzj-jie
Thanks for looking into this!

I tried the new main.lua file.
It worked fine, but it created duplicates in history.
One of the the duplicated books somehow did not have cover (just triple dots) nor title/description upon long-press (empty). KOReader crashed after I tapped on it:

./luajit: frontend/apps/reader/readerui.lua:607: bad argument #1 to 'attributes' (string expected, got nil)

lipc-wait-event exited normally with status: 0

After next restart, I was able to see that this was a duplicate, and it opens by tapping on either of the copy (but only one gets updates in History with a timestamp, the other stay in the same place, but still works).

I'll revert to my backup history for now.

Thank you for the test, it looks more than I thought. I haven't touched the code in koreader for a while, likely something got changed. I will take a deeper look.

Sorry, random unexpected things happened recently. I will take another look soon.
