Upcoming changes in JustRead

[petrjahoda]

Hello to all, as JustRead grew a lot over those last few months, next releases will be focused on fixing bugs, simplifying UI and UX and code reduction.

If you find something/anything in the app, that is confusing, hidden, clunky or simply strange, please let me know, ideally with a screenshot.

Thank you and have a nice day

For simplifying UX:

Maybe adding access to App Settings in the Library tab by adding it in the 3-dot options menu as "App Settings"? I didn't really see the point in having to switch to Home tab to change the app's settings and on a spot (bottom right where the plus button was in the Library tab) I personally don't look at first for settings-related stuff.

While viewing a book, how about combining Fonts, Theme (in a nameless window), and Settings into one? Maybe as something the user can swipe or switch at the top of the window like when changing Virtual Libraries in Calibre Sync.

Also, I finally have some examples for the "modified without actual changes" issue I was having with Calibre Sync. I checked its file modified date in justread's library folder and it didn't change there. I checked the modified column in Calibre and it's the same too. I haven't been able to trigger it consistently though.

Thank you very much.
EDIT: Will look into those Calibre related things.
EDIT2: Looked into this Calibre and...
1. you are right, nothing changed in your books, because...
2. ... Calibre stores the time a book was last changed down to fractions of a second. While Calibre is running it reports those fractions, but after a restart it drops them.
3. Because JustRead compared the two times exactly, so every book you synced before your last Calibre restart looked changed, even though both times show the same minute. This ix fixed
4. The size row is similar: the file in your Calibre library differs by a few bytes from when you synced and I found out that Calibre's "Embed metadata" action does this without changing the book's modified date, so maybe you push this button on Calibre on few files?
