MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - New Reader with great pdf-support: Mantano Reader (like aldiko+ezpdf)

It's probably been mentioned, but I'd like to add my request for a feature. When I edit the authors in Mantano, I have to bring up the "Authors" column on the left (from the same menu that you use to show Collections, Formats, Folder, etc.). About half the PDF's I added show up in a single folder entitled "Show books without author". It's impossible for me to edit the author for the books in this folder individually, and most of them have different authors; thus, it is impossible to edit the author for these books.

The same is true for every other field in this left column menu, too. You have to long-click on the folder containing the books (e.g. "Show books without authors", "Show books without series", "Show books without publishers", etc.) in this left-hand column in order to edit the books, but of course it edits every book in that folder. I've tried selecting books one-at-a-time using the checkbox and then editing this field, but it still edits the field for every book in the folder.

Please fix. Your reader is awesome; IMO, it's the best all-around Android reader by a mile.
