nycbhoy: this is a known bug, and a fix will be released ASAP. Until then, you may use the command line script (which should work) ... Let me know if you need more help.

nycbhoy · 03-15-2010, 02:41 PM

Thanks. Been using the command line method for a few months. Do I need to upgrade anything or will that continue to work as normal ??

dpierron · 03-15-2010, 03:50 PM

I think that you're the first user who'll use the command line version on a 2.0+ release.
Normally, the command line script (run.sh or run.cmd, depending on your OS) should work, but there may be glitches. In case of error, please tell us and we'll do our best to help you.

I've been running it nightly (via a scheduled task) since the day it came out. Working fine.

dpierron · 03-15-2010, 03:53 PM

Great, thanks for reporting this ki5ck !

Stanza is no longer available in the app store. Developers say no plans to update for iPad. Rumor has it that Amazon has killed it.

iandix · 03-17-2010, 12:49 PM

Lexcycle are saying that they have not removed the app... what they are saying is, it' a problem on Apple's end and Apple is trying to fix it.

ki5ck · 03-17-2010, 12:50 PM

Yep, just saw that on Lexcycle forums. Good news

dpierron · 03-17-2010, 12:53 PM

IMHO it's a mismatch on Apple side, probably a human error...

I released a new version 2.1 of Calibre2Opds.
You can download it here, as usual.
The list of changes :

modified the layout of the GUI to make it better on small, wide screens (e.g. macbooks)
replaced the thumbnail links with the old value (was correct, according to OPDS spec)
corrected the bug : links not generated correctly in the bottom of the HTML catalog
refactored the catalog generation : breadcrumbs, page numbering in the title, summary and titles of the subcatalogs elements, and no more "don't mix books and containers" option
book titles are capitalized and trimmed
added an option "maxsummarylength" to set the maximum size of the summary list (if the summary list exceed this length, it is replaced by a default summary containing the number of items and pages)
secure file manager is now faster
added an "about Calibre2Opds" entry to the main catalog
the authors lists now show the authors as LastName, FirstName
added the ratings catalog and added the rating to the book titles
added an option "tagstoexclude" to set a list of tags that will be excluded
corrected a bug in the tag catalog : when removing unneeded levels, the tags have to be renamed or a part of the name will miss
added options to disable the "Ratings" and "All books" catalog
added a Help button to the GUI
moved the thumbnails into a subfolder
the data model is preloaded before the catalogs are generated (removes the overhead on the first generated catalog)
added a "don't use split tags" checkbox so it's easier to disable this option (and corrected a GUI bug, too : text field was not editable)
added a "reset to defaults" button
optimized the code a bit
changed the CSS for HTML catalogs : links are not underlined anymore

Enjoy !
David.

PS : I'd like to thank the newly formed Calibre2Opds team ! Cheers to :

Dave Walker - guru, features manager and tester extraordinaire
Brian Szczawinsky - web designer
Jane Litte - beta tester and moral support

(and myself of course

)

Thanks guys!! No longer need to re-size my screen / change the resolution to use the app!!

test011 · 03-21-2010, 07:02 PM

Thanks for the update!

I guess all the Kindle users are still a bit disappointed since those fancy javascripts at the external, downloads links are not compatible with Kindle's "Basic Web" browser.

Oh, if those were just plain text links... prc azw

I hope someday Kindle users can use all the feature calibre2opds provides.
Someday.

iandix · 03-22-2010, 01:40 AM

I believe that future versions of the Kindle will have a better browser (well so I have been reading) , with hope it will support javascript like most of the other readers on the market.
