Wow thanks for the replies

1. Use names like 01, 02, etc. This is the standard used in cbz files for many years. Changing it to do "human" sorting will likely break other files.

I mean just to change the way the files are
displaying in eBook viewer. I don't think that'll break sth.. However there might be really a bug. It seems that Python is using logical sort by default (as said I don't think there are any real world examples where you don't want to have that):
Code:
list1 = ["1","10","3","22","23","4","2","200"]
# call int(x) on each element before comparing it
list1.sort(key=int)

2. The viewer does not changes aspect ratio of images in any mode, unless the image is specified in a way that allows the aspect ratio to be changed, or is a cover image.

You're right, it just seems to be the cover image. Crossed that one out

3. Look in the viewer preferences.

There is no such thing as original or intended viewing size when it comes to ebooks read on a computer, but if you would like multiple columns then go into the viewer preferences and change the Text layout in paged mode. Page mode is enabled/disabled via the yellow scroll in the top right corner of the viewer.

Thank you, both. I already used that. Would only have made sense when there was sth. like a fixed display size for eBook files (I don't know hardware eBook readers/formats at all). However because this is non existent, maybe it makes sense then that the eBook viewer window remembers its last window size / window state (maximized).

4. Hold down the control key while clicking.

Complex searching is something calibre excels at. In regards to your clicking tags, hold down the control key when clicking a second tag. If you want to match All or Any go down to the Alter Tag Browser option at the bottom of the tag browser and choose appropriately. Still confused simply hit the icon to the left of the search bar to bring up and Advanced search dialog.

Thanks, I used Ctrl. But I meant that after each Ctrl+Click or Ctrl+Click+Click the tag is displayed at the alphabetically ordered location within search field, instead of being added at the end. This breaks the logical order of operator
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logical..._of_precedence (a & is more binding than an |). However, I think a lot of manual "tweaking" of searches can be avoided by displaying to (multiple) selection boxes within extended search, one is a list of tags that have to be included, one for these to be excluded.(Yes I know I'm complaining on a high level, but Calibre is so feature rich and capable that I can do that

)

Automerge does not merge separate books into one book. It merges different book formats (pdf, epub. mobi) of the same book into one book entry.
If you have multiple html files that should be part of a single book put them all in one directory and create a html index that points to each in order they belong and drag the index file to calibre. All of the separate files will be gathered up ito one zip file and treated as an individual book.

Amazing, thanks for the link. I converted all my "series". BTW: after doing that for 10 books with 5 parts each, are there any plans to have a automatic function for that? Maybe sth. like "Add book with multiple parts" after "Add empty book", "Add from ISBN", which automatically generates a table of contents (Calibre always automatically sorted them right for me). I missed that from the first start of Calibre.
