[GUI Plugin] Calibre Config Reports

[BetterRed]

Back again: Installed CCR on my regular calibre install (i.e. Program Files/Calibre2)

Not sure where we got to with the Refresh in Shortcuts, but I am pretty sure it's working fine on CCR 2.0.8

It would be quite useful to be able copy the info in the green box to the Clipboard - as text.

Where are you getting the "C:\_Appdata\Calibre" and what do think it designates?

Calibre 8.10.0 is installed in the default location:- C:\Program Files\Calibre2

The C:\_Appdata\Calibre folder is where I store the Calibre 'control' data :



Some of which is referenced by Environment Variables



In my case it would be more meaningful if that line read:

Installed @ C:\Program Files\Calibre2 using C:\_AppData\Calibre\Config_64bit

Most, probably all, scroll bars in Calibre have arrows at both ends via which the scroll bar slider can be moved in small increments. Is there any reason that the scroll bars in CCR can't have those arrows.

When I want to use them repeatedly, I set the Windows Ease of Access tweaks so that I can 'press' them via the Numpad arrow keys.

Original intent was that the location at the top would facilitate access to config folder, either on Portable or Standard installs...

(Of course, also intended to give user more visibility of what Calibre install they're working on.)

Since the open configuration folder was implemented, I choose to remove the clickable path and trim the Appdata path on Standard Installs.

Not sure if displaying the Calibre standard install location would be useful, will think about it. New version will address some improvements you asked before

Are you using a custom appdata location ?

the normal is %appdata%\Roaming
%appdata% resolves in my case to:
C:\Users\thedu\AppData\Roaming

i think i can display for Standard Installs just the caption "Standard Install" (this is enough to differentiate from portable instances)..

Yes, as shown in post 92 - third screenshot

Maybe its not worth having even for portable, how many people use multiple installs of portable - I appreciated because I had more than one instance of the same portable for testing CCR for a few days.

I do have multiple installs of Calibre Portable, because I keep different libraries on different external hard drives.

On the other hand, the fact that you can't open multiple instances of Calibre at the same time means you can never be in an instance of Calibre except the last one you opened. Because of that, I'm almost always aware of which instance I'm using and exactly where it's located. Having that info on the screen would be nice, but not exactly mandatory.
