Is a double layer of SRC normal? (../src/src/... )

Yes. You have to put your source into a folder that the version control software (bazaar) controls. I call that folder src. That folder includes the bazaar info, resources and another folder called src where bazaar puts the real source. Thus ../src/src/..

You can tell I don't compile Calibre sources
Now back to your regularly scheduled Bug Find....

ahhh, I thought you just liked word-level palindromes.

It doesn't really compile - rather it just copies revised text files with the source. I was timing my update today - 36 seconds. That's a lot faster than a binary Windows install, but not when it fails

I can just rename that first src folder and the next launch reverts to the binary install, so I'm not down, just back to 7.2. It's possible the missing calibre.gui2.book_details will appear soon. It may just not have made it to the repository yet.

Fixed, I forgot to add book_details.py before my last commit. Incidentally what do people think of the new animated book details?

It works great now, and I love the animated book details!

Animated book details? What animated book details?

They will be available in the 0.7.3 (basically the book cover shown in the details area is now animated, it grows from small to large when you click on a book in the book list).

Hi - is the coverflow feature no longer available in the windows version of calibre 0.7.2? I upgraded to the latest release and I can't find it on the side or the bottom of the interface.

[kovidgoyal]

You 'll see a bright yellow line at the right or the top edge of the book list, drag it towards the center

Excellent, thanks so much

Book Cover Browser:

Hi i also upated to 7.0.2 today (actually 5 min ago) and for the first time since i used it calibre is not acting as it should.

i use a relatively small screen (ibm X61) when im traveling and im trying to save space on the screen where ever possible. I disable info and tag / author / ratings etc menu. just an occasional look into the cover browser.

in 7.0.1 it was on the right side that made it difficult to use it for me (1024x768) so i upgraded to 7.0.2 but now all i see is a yellow line on top of the book table. (and no i cant drag it :-) ) i can klick on the arrow that actually switched the cover browser on and off but nothing happens.

when switching to external window everything works pretty good just the pictures become very dissorted ... like the resolution is bad or something. and I use the best images that are available up tp 1700x1200 in resolution.

i checked a separated install on the 7.0.1 on another laoptop of a colleague and there is everything fine with bot aspects. the klick / open / close of the cover browser and the preview in the big window.

i dont have a external monitor to check how it will react there. as i said on travel always a small screen

take care.

Joe

Did you try turning off the book details then turning on cover browser? I have a large monitor so I am not looking at the same thing you are but the book details and the cover browser seem as if they would fight for the same same on a small monitor.

On Mac OS X Snow Leopard Calibre 0.7.2 still has the problem that you cannot resize the window if the book details are switched off. The resize handle (SizeGrip in Qt) is attached to this book details panel rather than the main window.
