[*]lookup in Text Selection Context Menu is still missing
Attachment 204061
This is present now.

Just check and it is implemented. It is the icon(A on a book icon) to the right of the copy button. This is how it looks? Unless you mean something else but it seems to be have the same functionality.



Quote:
No customisation of the order of the Text Selection Context Menu.
Not sure if we will be able to offer the ability to customize this menu

Quote:
No customisation of translation service.
Due to the ability to select custom colors and display the last 5 used in the text selection menu. We could not use the default Apple text selection menu. As a result Apple Translate is not accessible and they don't provide anyway to call their service unless you use the default System Text Selection.

We currently leverage Google Translate at the moment. We will have to look into how to make it more seamless and customizable. Do you mean just being able to select the language before doing the translation? It currently defaults to the device language.

Quote:
Text Selection Context Menu is very short and the boxes are very narrow.
Depending on the device you could extend it so scrolling is not needed anymore
We quickly leveraged the same toolbar for iPhone for iPads. We will address this in the upcoming release.


Quote:
no option for auto-copy selected text
There is a copy button that can be used to copy text once selected. Do you mean to automatically copy all text when selected to the clipboard? Not sure this is something that will get implemented in the short term. It would have to be configurable since not all readers would like that behavior.

Installation of fonts only via 3rd party app
Based on Apple's guidelines the suggested way to install fonts is to have them installed at the system level. This way fonts gets installed only once and can be used by multiple apps. Theoretically we could also build a font app within BookFusion but there are two free options that does this Fonts and iFonts app for free.

As a result custom fonts can be installed to the system with any of these apps and then the custom font can be selected from within BookFusion. This process will usually be done once or twice for most readers then they focus on reading. Unfortunately we won't be implementing app specific fonts.

after selecting an app in share context menu and going back to BF the share pop-up is still there and blocking everything. It only disappears when you select an app from it again.
Got it will be fixed in the next release

Quote:
Display error with these text-boxes. Left MR, middle Marvin, right BF
Got it, will also be fixed in the next release. Should have some books with code and text blocks so will use them to check.


Quote:
separate options for horizontal and vertical margins
Under margins there are already two different buttons or options for vertical and horizontal margins. See below.



Quote:
button for jumping back and forth between reading positions.
A back button is currently displayed at the bottom left when the reader navigates to another part of the book using the table of contents, links internally in the book or foot notes to navigate back though all those previous reading positions.

We are currently working on an update that will also add changes made when using the progress bar to the back stack. To allow for readers to quickly jump back between those as well.

P.S.: Export of annotations is the best I have seen so far!
Happy you like this. We are currently working on an Obsidian plugin at the moment and will be providing raw API access to highlights and notes soon as well. Will follow up once the items I mentioned working on gets resolved
