Beta testing libprs500's new GUI - Page 4

the connect software extracts a low quality thumbnail not the full cover. I don't want libprs500 to do that.

Ahh, gotcha. I guess it doesn't really matter for me, as I don't really need thumbnails or anything. Come to think of it, the area taken up by the hourglass and the image bookmark is pretty large (making less books visible without scrolling). Any reason they couldn't be put to the top with the other icons, but shifted to the right?

Coz there are going to be a lot more icons in the future ;-)

Awesome!

How about a preferences/options section with a choice to make the icons smaller then? I don't know about the windows/linux version, but the ones in Mac OS X are huge.

Yeah I like em huge :-) They're so purrty

They definitely CANNOT be ignored!

Wow, in the hour since I downloaded .90, you are already up to .92?!?!

I hope one of those updates includes the winning powerball numbers every week!

EDIT:
Nice! Just saw that you added a tag for book # under the series tag. These will definitely be the primary tags I use, as 95% of my entertainment reading is series based!
Thanks!

EDIT:
Cool, just noticed I can import multiple files now too! Looking good!

Mostly just bug juice ;-)

Well, I have QT4.3.0.4 however I suspect that for some reason, QT3 is being picked up by default.

Not sure how I can change this - I've tried setting QTDIR to /usr/share/qt4 but that mode no difference.

Code:

python
>>> from PyQt4.Qt import qVersion
>>> qVersion()

It claims that I'm using 4.3.0:

Python 2.5.1 (r251:54863, May 2 2007, 16:56:35)
[GCC 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from PyQt4.Qt import qVersion
>>> qVersion()
'4.3.0'

ls -l `which easy_install`

beartard · 08-07-2007, 04:02 PM

That sounds a lot "nicer" to me. ;-)

And no, I never saw the hourglass icon (or its associated number) change during my test.

clicking on the hourglass icon should bring up a dialog of active jobs. keep that to one side and then send a book to the reader. The job should show up in the dialog. Does it?
