Hello All!
This isn't a big deal, but it has been bothering me for a while...
Is it possible to access a certain Book List Mode by default on Calibre Server?
The server seems to default to "Cover Grid which corresponds to image cover displays without any description.
True, this can be changed during access from "Cover grid" to "Detailed list" through "book list mode", but one needs to know how to do this.
I'd prefer the page default display to be "Detailed list" for users who aren't necessarily familiar with the interface.

Neither

Code:

http://host:port/#library_id=MyServer&panel=book_list

nor

Code:

http://address:port/#book_id=rnd&library_id=MyLibrary&panel=book_list&sort=timestamp.desc

seems to work when passed as a URL, i.e. these just display the "Cover grid" page with the option to change view to "Detailed list" if one knows how to get there. I'd like "Detailed list" to be the default view displayed by the server.

I'm using Linux Mint with Firefox, but the above seems to hold true for all of the OS / browser combinations tried.

Thanks for any pointers!
