Significant update today. I recommend downloading and overwriting older version.

I've tried Version 1.0.0 on Windows 11 25H2 (OS build 26200.9168).
I can't change the font size. I move the slider for size and nothing happens. Line spacing and Indent are working though. Also it looks like I can only view 2 pages at once. I'd rather see only one page. Despite 32 GB of RAM the app freezes when I open the library, a folder with subfolders and 3.400+ files (pdfs, epub, cbz, cbr etc), and scroll down. This is reproducible. |

Fantastic, thank you for the feedback.
I've been working on memory problems as well as adding new features. How about searching a .pdf? Huge update today, huuge. Let me know how your program performs. https://airshares.net/winpub/pdf_search.mp4 |

I re-installed with a newly downloaded exe from your website. The version in "About" is still 1.0.0 though.
Now I can use the library but while scrolling down (sorted with date added) it takes very long to load the covers. I clicked on a PDF with only "loading". And then I could see loading the pdf, but nothing happened except that .NET crashed and the app just shows a black screen. After restarting winpub I just clicked on one of the PDFs in the first row of the library. The PDF also displays as two pages at a time, previously I only tested an epub file. But the text looks rather ugly, which may have to do with the text size. I am not able to use the "ZOOM" funtion on top of the app. I attached a picture with SumatraPDF (left) and your app (right). You can find the PDF here: https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/sites/def...-countries.pdf When I click anywhere on one of the two PDF pages shown the app always skip forward. I'd rather that only the click on the forward button does this. I can't select any text in the PDF. I'm also not able to copy the links. |

Thank you for your continued feedback. Please fully uninstall and reinstall, let me know if things work better.
Any screenshots or videos I take are me actually using the program. And the book cover issue is next on the agenda actually. Just fyi though, away from my PC for awhile, will be a few weeks until next update. Please continue using the program; I will be checking in occasionally. |
