Yeah the viewer will be broken till I get around to compiling Qt 4.5 on windows and OS X. Hopefully in the next beta.

pdb will be fixed in the next beta

Oops typo, will be fixed in next beta

No problem. Also...on the plus side....the guardian news feed downloaded perfectly today in Beta 2.

I've noticed a few problems with the PDB conversion.

1)   Is not converted to a space
2) Centering not respected
3) Page Breaks are not always inserted. (There are two page break before the "Also..." the LIT and ePUB do not process the page break.
4) Images are not included
5) There is a "\d" command that is not processed. It does not look like a valid command. Can it just be removed from the text? This is what dropbook does just ignores invalid commands, but does not include them in the eBook.

I've attached some screen shots of PDB->ePUB conversion and PDB->LIT conversion.

Can you open a ticket please and assign it to PDB Output. PDB support is still very new and will require tweaking.

Okay. What is your preference. One ticker per item found or one ticket to include the issues I found?

Also found error coping eBook to PRS-505 reader
The book title has a colon ":" in the name when it tries to copy the eBook to the reader the copy fails.

One ticket per issue makes it much easier to keep track of things

I haven't downloaded the beta but I was curious to know if the option to save ebooks as author name - title been implemented? Right now when you save the LRF file to disk it always saves as Title - Author. I was wondering if there is an option to flip this around?

Valloric · 06-08-2009, 06:03 PM

I just wanted to pop in and say congrats to kovid (and others involved) on the new betas. The new features in this 0.6.0. branch are huge!

When you open a ticket for this, could you attach the input files.

Should I open a feature request ticket on this? I wasn't sure if this was on the list already or not?
