Very nice. Just tried it. So nice to come home form work, sit in smoking chair, start some music, and launch Calibre and read book or cruise a new magazine. Thanks you very much for taking the time to implement this feature request. I am going to share this this others on the GreenButton.com (media center software/hardware forum) for other htpcs users like myself to perhaps enjoy as well. Again, thank you.
p.s. I have another feature request as far as keyboard shortcuts go, but I will wait to ask it. Don't want to get greedy as I am sure you have other requests and questions to resolve. Plus, I'm going to really enjoy this new feature for awhile. However, I am going to go ahead and throw it out there partly because someone may suggest a better way than a keyboard shortcut and partly because to give you a heads up if it is something further you would want to do. To the point, how are users "separating" say magazines from books within their library? Furthermore, how are users "separating" different magazine subscriptions? I pretty much have tagged my magazines with "magazines" and books with "books." Then for my various magazines subscriptions, I put them in a series based on the subscription name. So, all of my Architectural Record magazines would be grouped under a Architectural Record Series. This is how i quickly use the left side naivigation window to quickly navigate/select between my books and magazines and between individual magazine subscriptions. Of course, since I am on this kick to control Calibre with a remote control in media center setup, I am thinking if this tags could have keyboard shortcuts assignes to them, then i could then easily map those to a remote control button. Say each tag you add has a kyeboard short cut of "shift+alt+numeric." So tag 1 (books) = shift+alt+1. And tag 2 (magazines) = shift+alt+2. I havent figured out a way to do the magazine series, but that is ok. Just being able to separate books from magazines would be enough. I havent played with the Save searches functions too much, which might be another avenue, but I do not believe that has keyboard shorcuts either. Anyways, thank you again for the "shift+alt+b" for the cover browser and the fullscreen remembering. Let me know if adding these 2 or more shortcuts would be soemthing you could od in future, but for now, i am very grateful and content. ...I LOVE CALIBRE!!! lol.
