Two suggestions:
1. When connected to my calibre library via content server connection, I can't find a way to group titles or authors in a first letter hierarchy layer. This feature would improve browsing tremendously. 2. Is there a way to multi-thread book downloads from a content server? One download monopolizes the app. |

Thanks Steve, you're tip on "Max ungrouped items" really enhances cc usage on my ipad. I keep my library on my computer and only download to my iPad when needed, so it works perfectly now. The multi-threaded downloads will be nice but it's not absolutely necessary for a good user experience (for my needs).

Thanks for this great little program. Would it be possible, in a future update, to have the option to be able to select multiple books to send to Marvin (or any book reader) please.

Size/information of the list view
I would really liek to reduce the size of the list view (at least on the ipad); as at the moment i only see 6 or 7 books, with a mostly blank list. Depending on the setting, you see the book title, author and either some addditonal information (liek date added, series) and if activatrf the read icon and the book icon.
I would really like the ability to change this to get 15-20 book shown and/or to get additonal information on the screen! Thanks and best regard |

Hi,
This is a great app! If possible I would like to see the following features: Demo Version: The android version has both a DEMO and PAID version of CC. ios doesn't have a demo version. While I was sure that I wanted to use CC, other apple users may like to test it (android demo allow 20 entries), before buying. So I would like to request a demo version for iOS. Syncing between Devices: I note that you have advised users to use the Calibre Reading List Plugin or Smart Eject Plugin in order to sync devices. While this is doable, I would like to request a feature where you can sync between devices. Maybe have one device as the primary device, and choose "Sync with Secondary Device" or something like that. This would be particularly easy if you were using CC as a catalogue as not as much data/files to sync. Editing the "About Book" metadata: I note that someone else has requested this feature before (see quote below), and it was replied that its currently on the android version and was coming to iOS soon. Do you have any updates/progress on this? I would like the ability to move the comments section up below the cover with bigger font, or rearrange the fields, or delete/hide certain fields. Not sure if this would be a matter of changing a template or another setting in Settings for all books or if you could set this book by book. Quote:
Thanks for a wonderful app again. Inukami |

As for your other comments, I'm sadly also another developer who's usually gone quiet. CC took months of full time work to get to where it is, but it never made enough for it to continue being my full time job. That means progress is pretty slow these days, but I do refer to this list when I do work. I've just fixed a round of bug fixing that's taken most of the day, so my next session is going to be a while away. |

New FAQ: What is Calibre Companion?
Hi Steve,
Could you please put a new topic called “What is Calibre Companion?” or something like that on the CC FAQ under either General or under a new category? I noticed that you don’t really explain what it is in the FAQ and some others have wondered this in the forum. There is an explanation on your website and the stores, but nothing on your FAQ. I have provided an example below, basically using your explanation from the store with one extra point that I thought might be useful for users to know…Some images would be good too. Some others may have other thoughts… Inukami What is Calibre Companion? Calibre Companion (CC), recommended by calibre developers, is three applications in one: - a superb device-based calibre library organiser - a high-performance WiFi-based calibre device emulator - a calibre content server and cloud provider client (Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive) 1) CC is a device-based calibre library organiser. Once you put books on your device using one of the connection methods described below you can: - view a book's metadata (author, tags, series, rating, dates, etc.). - sort and group books by their metadata. - see book lists by cover or by list. - mark books read and sync this information with calibre. - launch your book reader application to read a book [Insert Image] 2) CC can connect to calibre over WiFi and be detected by calibre as a device. Once connected, you use calibre to move books to and from your device. Calibre automatically updates all the book metadata stored by CC to match the latest in your library. [Insert Image] 3) CC can connect to calibre’s content server or to your cloud provider to browse your library and download books to your device. Supports Dropbox and Microsoft OneDrive. [Insert Image] Notes:

pCloud access
I bought lifetime access to a lot of space on pCloud, and I've been moving my books into a calibre library located on that drive. It would be great if I could access my library there.

My iOS wish list.
1. I store my library on iCloud, so having that as an option would be nice. 2. I would like to try before I buy, so a demo version (say, size or time limited) would be good. |
