[GUI Plugin] Book List Plus

Ah you're correct, now I reproduced it. The next version fixes that.

What's the idea?

If I change the width of a column with the mouse, or with the Header menu->Adjust width of column xxxxx, the change doesn't persist.

Other Header menu actions persist - e.g. Sort, Alignment and Font Style.

Just tried 1.1.3 and calibre freezes as soon as I click anywhere, same as test version did.

For now I have gone back to 1.1, this works and doesn’t freeze until I try to change back to the main library from one of the others. It doesn’t seem to mind switching from main to other library.

Have the weight and font family been removed yet? The weight makes no different when zooming and the font family is part of calibre. I've not updated to the latest version. The idea is to keep thinks as lean as possible because the price of memory is quite high. I only have 16GB in my laptop because of this. When prices go low enough, I'll upgrade to 32GB. And a lot of laptops share the memory with the display chip.

The Demibold weight works really well for me, can't remember which font I tested. If you want to use calibre defaults, just don't check the Overrride option...

For the next version, I've removed the per library settings option, and replaced the preferences saving system with one that automatically remembers each library settings and can be more efficiently debugged. This is on early stage but so far is working fine for me so I will upload a test version shortly.

From few tests I made, this version persists the columns widths.

But you have to admin that the font family is a useless feature because the ability to change the font is part of calibre. Can you please take that out?

Sorry, I don't follow.

You can already change the font used in the UI. It's built into calibre. We don't need it in a plugin to do the same thing.

Preferences > Look & feel > Main interface

As I said, you can just uncheck the Override option - which is unchecked as default plugin setting.

But the problem is that the code it uses is in memory. I don't want it in memory. If I want a different font, calibre can do it for me. That's why font family should go.

Here you complain about the cost upgrading from 16GB to 32GB of memory, elsewhere you bragged about your very large television receiver. Yet, on too many occasions to count, you tell MR members to buy new computers, install more memory, disk drives, etc, etc.

Can someone remind me what we call people who are good at spending other peoples harderned [sic] money.

If you don't like this plugin don't install it. You've lived without it for nigh on 20 years. If its functionality was critical to your well-being you would have written it yourself long ago.
