Coverflow proportions
Is it possible to change coverflow proportions? All my covers are stretched.

Edit: Sorry, I read the post too fast and glossed over "coverflow." However, my post is still applicable to covers themselves. Last edited by Skydog; 03-03-2013 at 01:04 PM. |

You are right. I noticed a funny behavior: not-stretched covers (like 359x600) look ok in Book Details and a bit squashed in Cover Browser. Stretched covers (590x750) look squashed in Book Details and ok in Cover Browser. You'd think that on second case it looks even more squashed in Cover Browser.

The cover browser aspect ratio is fixed and cannot be changed. Images are resized to fit that aspect ratio. IIRC that aspect ratio is 3:4.

Thanks for explaining. I myself hardly ever use cover browser, just for rare eye candy.

Who should I ask to add automatic proportions support? I use Calibre for university slides and most of them are in landscape format.

Yourself. No one else is going to want to work on this.
