Hey, it's me again, sir Ask-a-lot
Is there a guide how to use Collections Manager? Yeah, I'm too lazy to figure it out by myself... |

Seriously, the commented screenshot explains everything that is needed, IMO. But yes, you are expected to figure out the details by yourself. |

That should do it. three extra thoughts on other aspects that might not be 100% obvious.

Thanks!
Just one correction: Nope - hiding applies to the home screen only (as the "documentation", and the menus, say). Hidden items do show up in searches and in collections - just not on the default home screen. (If you're curious, Amazon internally calls it "isVisibleInHome".) Otherwise, "tree-like" collections wouldn't work anyway. |

Ok, thanx guys, I think I got it now.
BUT! How does one simply make a collection WITHIN a collection? Let's say I want to seperate an Author's Novels from Short Stories. Then what? |

The "create collection" button will place the newly created collection in whichever collection is showing in the TOP pane. (Yeah ok, that *was* undocumented )

Redundant information
Just so that everyone notices it... I have updated the first post with some of the information requested in the last few posts, and with some other not-so-obvious info. This is copied straight from the first post:

@ixtab:
There's a few minor cosmetic issues with the UI on the PW (that I somehow missed, even if aceflor already mentioned some of them ^^). * The Kindle Store menu item isn't removed (I vaguely remember you mentioning something related to the menu, so you're probably aware of it). * The menu layout is slightly different on the PW, so we end up with a scrollable menu here. That seems to confuse new users/people who've never seen the full menu on a Touch. To help with this (and to start bouncing a few ideas around), why not fold the mutually exclusive options controlled via a radio button into a single one (for each couple), that would save a bit of vertical space, at the expense of a slightly more twisted wording . * Said mutually exclusive radio buttons fall victim to a small cosmetic glitch: when you enable one, the other one isn't updated: you end up with the two buttons filled up on screen. (The actual stuff the option control works, and if you close/open the menu, only the 'right' one is properly selected, so, purely cosmetic glitch). With a few snapshots to illustrate . Other than that, it works as well as on the Touch, so, again, thanks . I don't know if it's specific to the PW, but I also see a bunch of warnings in the logs @ startup: Code:

I'll put this on the TODO list... but I guess there won't be a new version before I finally get my hands on a PW |

I confirm written NiLuJe about the Paperwhite. + It's necessary to exclude processing of external dictionaries folder: /mnt/us/documents/dictionaries/ Folder contents automatically joins to built-in collection "Dictionaries". Last edited by kaznelson; 10-25-2012 at 03:04 AM. |
