Initial feedback for V1.1

Jim,

I have been playing with V1.1 on my HTC Touch Diamond2 running WM6.5. This release is fast and stable, and I like it very much.

Some initial comments/opinions:
  • Option text: "Tap page number changes page". Tapping brings up the goto dialog instead of changing the page.
  • Option text: "Show page number as line". I don't see anything when I select this option. Where is the line supposed to be?
  • All gestures should work, not just the left/right or up/down choice given in the options.
  • I would like the option of tap center changing window mode. You might want to confirm it to avoid repaginating the book because of a mistaken tap.
  • As taps choose the word tapped upon, the short/long 'tap' options should include bringing up the find menu or going directly to the dictionary.
  • Setting "Swipe to change page" should not leave the direction box empty. One of the directions should be selected automatically.
  • I was confused by the 'find' box in the goto bookmark dialog. I kept tapping on the bookmark and then pressing find. After experimentation I discovered that it is used to find bookmarks, not to find a place in the book. I think it would be better to remove the find box and make the columns sortable.
  • When creating a bookmark, tapping in the notes box should remove the "[empty]" string.
  • The virtual keyboard should go away when it wasn't being used. For example, the keyboard stays on the screen after creating a bookmark, even though there is nothing that can be filled in.
  • The "book properties" dialog should have the option of displaying the book's metadata.
  • It would be nice to be able to remove individual books from the bookshelf.

I also experimented with the 'crash paginating a long book, and succeeded. The device is an HTC Universal running WM6.1. The logfile is attached.

Best wishes,
Charles
