Hi. I just found the program yesterday, but I have to say that it is fantastic. Best app I have found in a very long time.

I have three small suggestions/requests and a possible bug. I sent them to you in an email, but I thought this might be a better forum for them:

1) You can drag from left to right to open the grouping drawer, but it might be nice if there was a simple way to close it as well. Three possibilities that I though of are
a) Drag right to left
b) double tap in the drawer
c) Automatically close it when a leaf of the grouping tree is selecting (letter for title,
author name, series name, etc).

2) When you select a series in the grouping, and then go back to the main screen, it shows:

Series: XXXX.... [] [] []

Which isn't really useful, because you can't ever see much of the series name. It might be nice to have an option to hide the view-type/sorting/connect buttons. Perhaps if these function appeared in the menu, it wouldn't be necessary to have them on the main screen.

3) Would it be possible to add an option to hide grouping methods that are not desired. For example, I only ever group by title, author, series, and #shelfname (a calibre custom column). I would love to hide tags, publisher and rating. Others might have different ones.

Lastly, I don't think the "Show grouping drawer buttons" does anything. Checked or not, everything seems to look the same.

Does anyone else have any opinions about these things?
