Beta testers for calibre 3.0 needed - Page 36

THere is no thirty second timeout. The only case where the server might be slow to start that I know of is if you are running from source, then the first time the server starts it has to compile some code into javascript, which can take a while.

Just installed 3.0. Everything looks fine at first glance (and without much use - I don't use content server) EXCEPT really not liking the layout button. Couldn't it be possible to choose whether to have them all displayed or hidden behind a button?

@Kovid, congrats for releasing Version 3.0. I see you polish the help too

kovidgoyal · 06-16-2017, 05:09 AM

@Divingduck: Thanks, yes the User Manual got some much needed love.

kovidgoyal · 06-16-2017, 05:10 AM

@MerlinMama: Not something I am particularly interested in implementing, patches are welcome.

@Kovid congrats on another great milestone with this release.

@MerlinMama I agree with you. Intellectually I like the concept of the layout button as it currently sits. If this had been the case since the beginning I would have been content, however I am surprised how often I used the button to toggle the tag browser and the cover grid, so it feels awkward to now have to drill down a level to toggle those items. Two weeks from now the new button will be the norm and life moves on.

@kovidgoyal First off, thanks for the new 3.0 release, it works great and love the new features. One minor quibble, not sure if I should start a new thread for it, since this beta thread already exists.

My issue right now is that, I have multiple Libraries in my Calibre. The new Content server works fine, also, love that the new server has multiple library support. In my old iPad 2, unfortunately I can't get the new one load (not a big issue), I shifted to the Non-JS version i.e. the "content.server:8080/mobile" where saying I have libraries numbered, 1 to 5. 1 probably being default. When I launch the Content Server within Library 2, and go to the Non-JS website it still gives me the Library 1 listing, and no other way of choosing the other library.

I hope the Non-JS version, can be fixed to use the old library thing.

Any help?

EDIT: Ended up just using the URL from the new system to download the book, but it'd be nice to have this fixed.

Oh boy, silly me. Thanks for everything, Kovid. In case it wasn't evident thanks for the new release, I love it.

kovidgoyal · 06-16-2017, 06:40 AM

I made the layout menu a little nicer, hopefully that will help get over the newness. See attached screenshot.

Looks good, I think this will assist in the pattern recognition of the new layout feature.

I also have got the notice about the update today. I love Calibre.

Thank you very much for your lot of effort, @ Kovid.

Thanks for calibre 3!

I will try the new release and if I still have problems I will dig into the cause and go through the normal bug reporting system.

Nicolas F · 06-16-2017, 08:52 AM

Thanks for calibre v3!

Two details:
-"Show" and "Hide" aren't translated in the layout menu (and I didn't saw them in transifex if I'm not mistaken)
-The new splash screen is great, but the text (initialising...) is partly on "starting up, please wait":

Edit: and "But don't show entries that have..." isn't translated either in the advanced search menu.
