Thanks, I'm glad to hear that it is working.
The GUI is pretty smooth on my 1.6GHz P4 laptop in both win32 and linux, so I'm inclined to believe that it's an OSX problem. Are there any other OSX users who can comment on this?
The library is stored in a file called library.db, its location is OS dependent, though at some point I will make it configurable.
Copying things from the reader to the library and/or your hard disk is on my todo list. It will transfer metadata automatically when it does that.
RTF and PDF support are also on my todo list, see the tickets on the libprs500 website for details.
Now that the basic GUI seems to be working on all platforms, I'll start working on more features. Unfortunately, I'm somewhat swamped in my day job, so progress is going to be slow for the next couple of months.

A few questions: - Do you support copying from either the device's memory or the device's card back to the Library?
- If yes, can you grab the metadata from the Reader and associate it with the new library entry?
- Where is the library actually stored? Does the location differ on various operating systems?
The GUI is slick, and seems to work pretty well. It's also dog-slow on my machine. I'd be happy to produce whatever info might help with that (although I suspect it's more likely to be either an immature QT port or my old hardware that is primarily to blame). And, from the "give-em-an-inch-and-they-want-a-mile" department... When can we edit metadata from .rtf files? And when will you read the metadata that's already there? I've just been through the process of editing the metadata for 500 or so rtf files, and don't look forward to doing it again...

P.S. Thank you VERY much for your efforts so far. It is very cool to see an open source tool like this coming along so quickly! |
