Allow showing time left in current chapter/book

In the new version (3.21, 64-bit version) the 'what's new' section says "Allow showing the time left in the current chapter/book" by "go to the preferences of the browser viewer and customize the headers and footers to display the time left."

How does one do that? I can't find those preferences...

I'd like to know how to do this too as it's a feature that I really liked from Moon Reader.

When you're reading a book in the browser, right click and select preferences.

The menu that comes up from right clicking doesn't have anything to click on that says preferences. There's a button for preferences on the toolbar, but I've looked through it a few times and haven't seen anything that shows options for headers or footers.

This is the menu I see when I'm reading the book and a click with the right button over the browser:

That's nothing like what I see. What I see just looks like a normal vertical menu you'd get from right clicking on something on the desktop, internet browser, or any program really.

That's a book open in the browser from the content server, nothing else, clicking Leer in this screen:

I'm not sure where that screen is as I've never see it before when using Calibre. I'm also not sure how I've been reading books from content servers when I don't even have a content server running...

Esta es la pantalla si lees un libro en el servidor de contenidos, no en la interfaz de calibre.

This is the screen you get when you read a book in the content server, not from the calibre interface.

I'm afraid we're mixing viewers here. There are two ways to read a book in calibre (AFAIK):
  • Viewer in calibre GUI
  • Browser, when you're browsing your library through the content server

The new feature says:

Quote:
Browser viewer: Allow showing the time left in the current chapter/book in the header and footer areas of the book.
So, I've assumed it's for reading the book in a browser (where I've found those options).

Something is very different between what you are doing and what we (myself and Kythe42) are doing. I am opening a book in Calibre running on Windows7 on my laptop, then right clicking the resulting book. Various options (table of contents, goto, etc) open up but nothing related to preferences.

There is no Visual clue where to click.

Right click the top -center of the page, the READER menu should appear
