OK,
Installed on my Mac (10.5.4).
First, it asked me where to put the files. I created a folder in my home directory named calibre. It is putting the files there, but it put the db folder in my home directory.
Second, is there a way to import a "save-to-disk" folder for a previous version?
Third... there is a setting about what version to do a "single file save" with. I choose mobi. However, the save to disk drop down still says "save only LRF to disk"... I was assuming this would change to say "save only mobi to disk".
When I first ran the app the grid was compressed. The columns were not very wide. When I expand the full window the grid columns don't get wider either. When I sorted on the Title the columns seemed to adjust based on the data... I kind of expected to get that right up front.
I "added" a bunch of books. Mostly the free TOR books from the giveaway. Many of them show the author name in the title column. Is this bad metadata in the book file or a bug, I'm not sure.
Browse books by covers... the image does not expand the full width of the coverflow area when I have the window wide.
A suggestion on the icons... Put the two in the bottom right corner up in the top tool bar. Get rid of the bottom left area and add a view where the cover shows as the first column of the grid. So, you could have three grid view modes, list, list w/ covers (maybe call this bookshelf) and coverflow. This is sort of how mac finder has 4 views.
Can the coverflow view have a scroll bar like the mac coverflow view does in finder.
Another question... I don't see a way to organize the list of books in a folder type view... I thought you said in a previous message that this already existed... maybe you misunderstood me or I you. Can you point me on doc on how to organize the books in the GUI?
Ok... some are bugs, some suggestions, some questions... hope this helps.
