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 2008 and as such you will need the latest version of Microsofts .NET 3.5 framework.

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

MobiPerl Win32 compile v0.38 or later.
MobiPerl v0.38 or later with ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 822 installed with all appropriate packages for Mobiperl installed.


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 Win32 or Perl file resides in. It expects to see the exact name mobi2mobi.exe for the Win32 compile and mobi2mobi.pl for the Perl file.



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


Notes:
---------
The GUI has come along quite away since the very first version, and thanks to the feedback from the MobileRead forum members it continues to hopefully improve and be useful to a wide range of people. As always please feel free to play and feedback any comments you have.


To Do:
------



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

v0.13

-New: Moved things around a little to accomodate extra functionality.

-New: You can pass a manual EXTHTYPE & EXTHDATA command to use on conversion.

-Fix: When converting a PRC file I populate the Book title field with the Databasename otherwise the Longtitle uses the PRC filename on convert. If you wish to change this title to something else, the tickbox now deselects forcing you to re-tick it to pickup the title change.



v0.12

-New: Added support for the following new flags added to v0.0.38 of the Mobi2Mobi Perl tool.

	Subject
	Description
	Language (The supported language list is as per those specified in the MobiHeader.pm file as at v0.0.38)

v0.11

-New: GUI now checks to see if you have a valid Win32 or Perl named file when selecting the Mobi2Mobi directory. It will automatically select whatever version it finds and if you have both you can select either version to use.

-Bug Fix: Some basic checking on the Open File & Convert buttons. You can't open a file without a version of Mobi2Mobi being found. You can't convert a file unless you have successfully open a file to convert.


v0.10

-New: If you have Perl installed as per Tommy's guidelines you can now use the GUI with the original Perl file. Note the GUI expects to see the name mobi2mobi.pl.


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.
