Has anyone tried to use the new multiple Book Details panel feature in 'anger'. I wanted to see how it might be used when linking books. But I got bamboozled in it, firstly I managed to get multiple BD Windows for the same book, viz:
That doesn't seem right to me - why would anyone want multiple BD windows for the same book?
I also got thrown off kilter when I switched libraries from Books to Journals. After adding 'three' books I pressed 'I' on one of them and was surprised to see the "(will not change)" variant of the BD window… i.e. the one with no Next and Previous buttons. I worked out why (I think):
When I switched libraries from Books to Journals I had a "current book" BD Window active, but minimised; so the topmost 'book' in the Journals library inherited the "current book" BD Window from Books - which was
minimised!, so the subsequent press of 'I' opened a "will not change" BD. That the 'current book' BD was minimised is irrelevant.
If multiple BD windows are to be allowed then I think there needs to be a way to 'manage ' them, or at least have visibility of them.
Apart from the lack of Next and Previous buttons, everything else seems to function normally in a "(will not change)" window, Link buttons, clicking on a Tag etc to do a search, clicking on HTTP links etc.
I admit to being a bit puzzled why the Next and Previous buttons are absent for BD Windows for the current library.
