Acknowledgements:
---------------------------
Tommy Persson for the all the hard work he has put into the MobiPerl tools.



Prerequisites:
-------------------
The GUI is built using Visual C# Express 2005 and as such you will need the latest version of Microsofts .NET framework. You will need at least .NET Framework 2 with Service Pack 1.

The GUI was built for use under Windows XP so I can't guarantee operation on any other versions of Windows.

MobiPerl Win32 compile v0.37 or later.


Program Operation:
---------------------------
The Mobi2Mobi_GUI.exe and m2mcfg.ini files need to be in the same directory as each other.

The GUI on first launch will prompt for the directory that the mobi2mobi.exe resides in. It expects to see the exact name mobi2mobi.exe.



Warning:
------------
Please ensure that you only convert copies of your original PRC and MOBI files.


Notes:
---------
Please consider this a very alpha release. Im currently teaching myself C# and this seemed like an excellent way to learn. Im very much a programming hack and have a lot to learn. There is additional functionality I will hopefully include down the track, but the program as is fills the need I have to convert all my old Baen library PRCs to MOBI files.

Please feel free to play and feedback any comments you have.


To Do:
------
Coverimage support.


Version History:
----------------

v0.09

-New: Changed alot of the internal programming to make GUI methods more generic for potential expansion for other Mobiperl tools.
Also changed the way data was parsed when reading a MOBI file which should make the GUI slightly faster when opening a file now.


V0.08

-New: With changes made to Mobi2Mobi v0.37 I have been able to add Coverimage & Thumbnail preview into the GUI.


V0.07

-New: After a convert the newly converted MOBI file is reloaded to allow changes without having to reopen the converted file. - Requested by JSWolf.


v0.06

-Bug Fix: Book Directory should now work fine for other drives other than C: drive. - Thanks to Ortep for confirming,

-Misc: Changed layout slightly and fixed tab order.


v0.05

-New: Coverimage support has now been added.


v0.04

-Bug Fix: GUI will now work with Mobi2Mobi.exe located wherever you put it. Previoulsy the GUI would only work if the Mobi2Mobi.exe was in the same directory as the PRC or MOBI files. - Reported by JSWolf

-New: The book title will now display the Database name for a PRC on open and check the Book Title tick box to save this as the Longfile name on conversion. On opening a MOBI file the Longfile name is retrieved.

-Misc: Re-wrote the way the GUI interacts with the Mobi2Mobi.exe as part of the pathing bug fix. Is now batch file based.


v0.03

-Bug Fix: Setting default eBook directory now actually works. (stupid typo in code)

-New: The GUI is now .MOBI extension friendly and more correctly reflects a true GUI for this program. The GUI will now parse the existing Author and Publisher details from a Mobi file.


v0.02	

-Program Prerequisite: GUI will not work unless .NET Framework 2 Service Pack 1 is installed. Reported by jbenny.

-Bug Fix: mobidata.m2m could be locked by initial 1st pass conversion processs. - Reported by JSWolf.

-Bug Fix: Author & Publisher text boxes when empty would cause a double popup warning dialog when checking their tick boxes.
	 
-New: You can now set a default directory for your eBooks.


V0.01

- Initial Release.
