[Very Old Thread] Calibre suggestions
Hi all,
Not sure if this is the right forum to post this - but here goes anyway. I have a couple of suggestions for the author of Calibre, all minor, but he may wish to incorporate/ignore them. 1. it would be nice if the bars for titles, authors etc which can be resized, to stay that size on exiting restarting the programme. A "nice to have" but of course, not essential. 2. The individual rows appear to resize (varying in row height) for no discernible reason (probably there is a good reason). It would be nice if they stayed the sames size. 3. When moving from library to PRS, the arrangement of the columns changes. in Library viewing, I have author then title, in PRS viewing it is Title then author. I am still trying to find out if I can change this myself, but cannot find how to do this if it is there. 4. I think the remove books icon should be on its own and not near the edit meta information. For idiots like me it is all too easy to make a mistake. I am am so impressed that someone has taken the time to write this programme for the Mac, that I am almost embarrassed to point out these these small changes - so apologies if they appear to trivial for contemplation.

1. resets every time for me i always have to drag publisher larger if im doing a lot of work 2. I have to drag publisher longer because the longer pub names causes each row vary in height. I wonder why ??? |

I believe there is a bug in the OSX build that is affecting the saving of preferences. It will be addressed once I return home and have access to an OS X machine again.

My preferences in Calibre is "grayed" out, don't know why. I have uninstalled the programme and reinstalled - still grayed out and I still have the tray icon. I used Appzapper for the uninstall, so I think it picked up everything. I am using Leopard 10.5.6 on an Imac - plenty of free disk space and 4 gigs memory. Any ideas? jim |
