Some small feature requests about comics and metadata

cartman · 06-06-2009, 04:30 PM

Hello, i would like to make a few small feature requests, mostly regarding comics and metadata:

1)In the "Edit Meta Information" menu, double clicking on a format should open it, that would make metadata editing much easier.

2)When calibre cannot for any reason find a cover on one format of a book, it should search the other available formats, and do that every time a new format is added (and maybe a button that shows the SECOND image on a .cb* file would be quite useful as sometimes due to file sorting issues, the second image is the correct cover).

3)Cover support from .cbr files

And of course, thanks for making such a useful program and for giving so much time listening to user input.

why do you want 1?

open a ticket to request 2

3 will be in 0.6

Once again, thanks for the prompt responce

I want 1 because when i am editing the metadata of a newly added book, sometimes the data that is already there is not helpful at all, so i need to open the book to see which one it is and copy-paste the title, author, isbn, etc. So 1 would be very useful, especially when adding many books.
