Ken Maltby,

Turns out, I have this:
cr3.app.ui.default.font.size=15
not =18 - I wrote these from memory, but the other values were correct, = 7.

1.2.6.3 impressions

The Open dialog / file manager (browser) - now it is really great.

Except that the first [..] element in the list should have been kept just to make it easier
to tap the second one - with the font size 7, now it is difficult to access the first book in the list. An alternative - to have a top margin. maybe defined in cr3.ini - if somebody is using a large font, clearly a margin is not needed.
But I like using that bottom [..] button - no need to get to the beginning of the list, easier to move rapidly several levels up. And of course, the first element is difficult to tap because my font is small.

The recent book list:

1. I would like to have the buttons like in the file browser. And to be able to disable the vertical scroll bar as in the file browser

2. I am using small font size, so the gaps between the lines of text are huge - instead of two lines there might fit four at least. So I would like to make the list more compact by reducing the vertical size of an element. It would be easier to read the list too.

3. I would like another button at the bottom - on a selected book in the list, go directly to its folder in the file browser (as it is done in android CR on T2).
It is very convenient when you want to open another book in the same series or of the same author or another version or format of the same book, or just a book that you know will be close to navigate to.

4. I would like to have an option to have file names in the recent book list instead of two-line elements with titles and authors.
I have lots of books that do not have correct metadata but their files are correctly named adhering to a strict standard. Besides, a compact one-line-per-element list would allow to fit many more books on the screen (I have many books in the list) and would be easier to read, especially compared to what we have now - huge gaps between those two lines makes me search with my eyes for the next element...

What I miss most now compared to android CR on T2 - support for dictionaries.
