Hi ixtab,

thank you for the implementation of the chapter progress feature. I have tested it and found a minimal improvement: the 100 % is not at the end of the chapter but at the beginning of the next chapter. The first page is then showing the 100% bar and the second starts with a new bar. It seams that the condition to check 'the next chapter is entered' needs to be a 'less than' condition instead of 'equal' in the current position to TOC index. But its only a guess.

Buy the way if the information is available how many pages to turn to enter the next chapter, than it may be nice to draw page bullets into the progress bar (as equal in the book based view the chapter bullets). This could be a rough estimation, depends on information available. Then it would be easy visible how many pages until end of chapter.

And last but not least enjoy the beer, I have donate and thank you for sharing your knowledge and effort.
