Viewer modification request

BarryL · 01-26-2022, 06:18 PM

I am not a developer, but I'd like the ability to rotate the viewer screen 90 degrees to accomodate the many graphic-format titles that do not use a standard top to bottom view.

See para 4 ==>> https://calibre-ebook.com/bugs

You'll get formal response at launchpad - and it wont drop off the radar.

Informally I'd like to second this -- it's possible to resize the viewer window but it doesn't retain the aspect ratio and also causes text to go into columns.

I dont follow what does rotate the window mean? If you want a window thats wider than taller, simply resize it and use the options in the viewer preferences to remember the size and to control the number of columns per page in landscape mode.

I think the OP meant a way to quickly switch the aspect ratio of the viewer, or perhaps switch between several saved sizes (the latter may be useful for other cases too).

Perhaps he’s referring to EPUB3 fixed layout.
