Note: I was doing a Metadata update , so I already had a current cover.

Here are 2 screen shots of what I see:
As you can see, the default cover is dulled by the highlight which really appears visibly in the second shot

That's what I see using Windows XP sp3. I don't see a problem with it but have no objection to having no covers selected by default.

I've tried searching for books on Mobileread via the main store window as well as the Mobileread store window available in the dropdown menu. I noticed that while the second window had a column for format, the first one did not. Is it possible to add a format column to the main store window? That would really help to find out which book I want, because, at least for Mobileread, I get one hit per format with no way to distinguish between them.

I'm going to need a little more info than that...

Working on it.

@oldbwl: try the next release, let me know if the problem is still there

@theducks: Try the next release, let me know if the problem is still there.

I was suggesting to only highlight the title/info part and leave the image in the clear. (or use a radio selection type button if that works with the layout)

Seems like a good idea.

Any chances of being able to change Language metadata using the GUI?

I'd love to send books in German to the Kindle and enjoy the page numbers (currently I convert them using the command line). The metadata is useful for dictionary purposes (I've a German dictionary on the Kindle, and its used automatically on books with proper metadata).

The Terminator · 04-19-2011, 08:35 PM

The get books function (for me anyway) gets the list of books that I searched for, but when I click on the one I chose It comes up with "unhandled exception" this came up on all the books I tried.

The exception would help... I'm guessing you're using a proxy? Proxy's are currently broken with Get Books. It will be fixed in the next release.

The Terminator · 04-19-2011, 11:54 PM

That's the only problem I ran into, The rest is great! The new metadata fetcher is awesome!

Pretty sure you've seen this one already in this thread, but any attempt at a book from Kobo, for example, leads to:

calibre, version 0.7.56
ERROR: Unhandled exception: <b>AttributeError</b>:'QNetworkAccessManager' object has no attribute 'sslErrors'

@user_none: I'm not entirely sure if this is still relevant or if you fixed this already, but I got the sslErrors exception when trying to get a book from Mobileread. I'm not using any proxies, I'm connected through a pretty standard router setup. OS is XP SP3, Calibre 0.7.56. If this isn't fixed and you need additional info, say so.

user_none · 04-20-2011, 10:28 AM

The SSL error issue will be fixed in the next release. The problem was Qt on Windows was not built with SSL support. Kovid has added SSL support to the Windows build.
