4.0 version Calibre update? Terrible - Page 5

BetterRed · 12-07-2019, 12:15 AM

An option to show a toolbar was added in version 4.3, and in version 4.4 the ability to customise it was added.

Did you get the latest 4.x? The option was added later (~4.4? )

Can someone change this post title to state the 4.0 Calibre Version?
"Latest" is now "outdated"!

yes, and the terrible all in caps is a bit much. I'm using the update and have no issue other than not being able to sticky the viewer settings to the side.

Report any post in this thread and explain the issue with the awful thread title.

@Horus68 wanted the version changed from latest, but yes I am happy. too bad we can't lessen the impact of the TERRIBLE since it's not really. but now it references the correct version for the complaint and that's as it should be. thanks so much.

Not at all. The word terrible in all caps also needs to go.

Done - also changed it to 4.0 as that was the version on Oct 6.

I'm minded to Close the thread, IMO it's had it's day. Other mods ??

No objection. But...
They will just start another

I wouldn't worry about that. As the new King of Australia, I've got it covered

In reality the site admins could, and perhaps should, close this thread.

It seems to be specific to user problems, many of which I had, with the first iteration of 4, which was a major overhaul of the GUI with what I suspect to be not enough beta testing before release.

More recent iterations seem to have resolved the problem so now the thread is no longer relevant and served its purpose to give feedback to Kovid and the development team which they saw.

It should probably be closed so that people aren't confused with other versions and also be retained for historical relevance of product feedback, but if people have problems with newer versions of 4, they definitely shouldn't be responding here.
