Cover View: The Cover view Portrait 65% ratio setting is perfect for me - more books & less background. Even when I choose 'Portrait distort' the actual distortion appears negligible (for my covers), plus it has the added benefit of all thumbnails being a uniform size. BTW a small suggestion, the word 'distort' sounds a bit negative, perhaps 'stretch' or 'stretch-to-fit' sounds less of a bad thing (of course many believe it is A Very Bad Thing )

"Stretch to fit" is a very good suggestion.

If you do add a 3rd option perhaps 75% would be good for those, like DoctorOhh, who have taken a lot of time over the years to make covers look good for their 3:4 ereaders.

I was thinking .65, .8, and square. Each one is ~25% bigger than its predecessor.

One thing I did notice is that if you choose 'Title' it always groups by FL no matter whether the box is ticked or not. But perhaps this is deliberate?
|
Yes. We don't want to show titles in the grouping drawer, as that is what the booklist is for. If we removed first letters for titles, then we would need to also remove title because we would have nothing to show.

Thanks to all for your service with a smile. Luckily we can't see the gritted teeth each time one of us says 'I've had this really great idea...'

No gritted teeth. Occasionally a rolled eye, though.
Seriously, this has been a fascinating and excellent experience. Your (in the plural) comments have really helped us improve CC, and the process has been fun.
