-Changed author name separator to "+" during Amazon search, seems this is what Amazon is using.
-Replace double spaces in author biography.
-Removed trimming of book names and use labels AutoEllipsis capability in the previews.
-Remove CR, LF and TAB from <recs type="purchase"><title> names.
-Remove extra junk in Amazon book image URL.
-Minor tweaks to GUI previews.
-Set UseMnemonic = false on preview GUIs so "&" displays correctly.
-Minor changes to tool tips on settings GUI.
-Disabled "Send to Kindle" as it's not implemented yet.
-Tried to improve the wrapping of author biography in the preview.
-Clear previews for each new book. |
Cool! I set up a Slack page so we can post things on there without unnecessarily posting in this thread. I'll PM you the link.
Git for Windows is pretty easy. The tricky part is dealing with local changes when the repository has been updated as you were working on it. Most times, you'll make changes on your local copy, make a little commit message/description, hit commit, then sync and it'll upload them. Getting it set up initially might be a bit tough depending what you've done with it so far, but we'll figure it out.
