Beta testing libprs500's new GUI - Page 25

Not too worry, it'll go away soon

Any chance you could add "justification" to the settings that can be tweaked. I personally don't care for full justification, and I see that's the default.

Thanks.

That's controlled by the reader software not the LRF file itself.

Kovid,
Certainly no big deal, but the series book number on the gui is in roman numerals; when you get into a major series, the number requires a little thought to decode. As my brain is getting old fast, can this be provided in arabic numerals as an alternative.

Exercise is good for the brain

But open a ticket and I'll add a config option.

Hey there kovidgoyal. A quick request if you manage to find the time...folks with slow dialup (and I mean slow...2-10 seconds latency at times) like myself may have some trouble fetching metadata from Isbndb, as it just times out every time.

If i understand the code I saw (which i probably don't), the default is 3 or 5 seconds to timeout. Is there any possibility of maybe a High Latency mode (checkbox) that would change that timeout to 20 seconds or so?

Also, I already opened a ticket on this before I saw this thread, so I apologize for that. Thanks for your time and keep up the great work.

kovidgoyal · 01-11-2008, 11:08 AM

Sure I can add a config option to do that. And I prefer tickets to forum posts

KaiGoth · 01-11-2008, 07:00 PM

Hey, haven't been here in a while, but love the new stuff like the news fetcher and isbndb connection. Just wanted to say thanks!

Although, it is getting kind of slow with 4000+ books in the library.

kovidgoyal · 01-11-2008, 07:03 PM

What in particular is getting slow?

KaiGoth · 01-11-2008, 07:08 PM

Wow, do you live here?!?!

After making any changes to the metadata in a book (or 5 at a time), it hangs for about 5-10 seconds. No biggie, figure that's what I have to deal with when keeping such a large library. Still a HELL of a lot faster and feature rich than the Sony app!

Yeah that would be slow database writes. The database design is optimized for reads on the theory that reads happen a lot more frequently than writes.

KaiGoth · 01-11-2008, 07:20 PM

That makes sense, and is usually fine. I'm just in the middle of some massive batch conversions and importing/editing them can't be scripted like the conversions!

Since you're here, has Sony done anything to allow collections on memory cards yet? About the only thing left (thanks to libprs500) I'd like to see.

kovidgoyal · 01-11-2008, 07:24 PM

only on the the 505. 500 still has no collections on cards.

KaiGoth · 01-11-2008, 07:27 PM

Dang, guess I have to upgrade this year.

KaiGoth · 01-11-2008, 11:04 PM

Hey, since we're on the subject of database performance, what are the chances of being able to manage multiple databases with libprs500?

Would be nice to be able to split my current database into 2 or 3 of 2000 books or less (about where I started noticing a slow down). That or some sort of "tag tree" browsing functionality. The search feature is nice, but I often like to browse for something to read.
