Question: Where will be the location of the search index? AppData or the library folder? I haven't tested yet to check.

Can Calibre 6 install alongside 5, or on top of it? The uninstall-to-downgrade cycle is a bit of a pain for testing.

Back to hidden windows. An undocked Quickview window stays on top if I give focus to the library list window, viz: I appreciate QV is a child window and TS is separate process (I can't Alt+Tab into QV)… but that may not be as obvious to some people.

I installed the beta. It switched to light mode. I guess it's following system theme rather than the env var. Disappointing.
Any plans to make an override in look & feel? I seem to recall mention of possibly implementing it, but I can't find the post now. EDIT: This is going to take a while... ANOTHER EDIT: I feel like it would make sense to be able to dedicate xx CPU cores to indexing, similar to the option in preferences > miscellaneous.

1. QV doesn't provide a separate taskbar flyout item, TS does : 2. QV is not available as a selectable item when I press Win(or Alt)+Tab, whereas TS is: 3. If I minimise the main window, it takes QV with it, but it leaves TS (which cannot be minimised) where it is: 4. When I give focus to the main window, QV stays on top, whereas TS gets pushed down. Why can't TS behave like QV in this regard? BR |

Yeah, the FTS window doesn't follow the behaviour of most other Calibre child windows I've tried (preferences, annotations, jobs, undocked quickview).

Yes the FTS window is *independent* of the main calibre window, you are supposed to be able to use both simultaneously. That's by design. @BR: When restoring the main window one cannot restore the FTS window since doing so would mean on a small screen the FTS window would always cover the main window.
That said, the I will look into adding minimize/maximize buttons to the FTS window titlebar. SHould be a simple flag to pass to Qt. |
