I ran across an anomaly that may be easy to duplicate. At least it is on my new Nexus 7 (2013).
I was in the drawer showing authors, I selected an author that had 13 books. I closed the drawer and 4 rows of books showed 4, 4, 4, and 1. I re-opened the drawer clicked on search then canceled the search and closed the drawer. I now showed 14 books (see attached) the top left book (1st of the search) was duplicated in the bottom right corner in image only. This happened with another author with 22 books (see attached), again the the top left book (1st of the search) even though it was off the screen was still replicated. Switching to landscape and back removes the rogue image. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 08-15-2013 at 01:04 PM. |

Seriously, this has been a fascinating and excellent experience. Your (in the plural) comments have really helped us improve CC, and the process has been fun. |

Steps: - Search is not in use - Select an author that results in one book in the last line - Close the drawer - Open the drawer - Click search, then cancel. This does nothing because there wasn't a search before. - Close the drawer. What are you doing differently? |

Maybe it is unique to my new tablet. I rebooted my tablet, cleared cache and data then reconnected to calibe. Same results every time.
Steps: - Search is not in use - Select an author that results in one book in the last line - Close the drawer - Make sure the empty spot is showing, scroll down if needed. Must be 4 or more rows it does not happen when the bottom row is blank. - Open the drawer - Click search, then cancel. This does nothing because there wasn't a search before. - Close the drawer. It is hours past my bed time, see you later. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 08-15-2013 at 01:48 PM. |

It is (was) caused by a timing problem when displaying covers. Android "recycles" image cells to be used in different parts of the screen. It was possible that a cell would be recycled that had not finished computing the cover bitmap for the original location of the cell. If the destination cell was empty then the computed cover for the original cell would be placed into the empty cell. This could happen only under some very constrained conditions, which luckily for me you were able to identify. I think it is fixed. At least it no longer breaks for me. |

I got the new beta today, and overall it's pretty good.
Grouping - can we get the grouping detail at the top of the page or somewhere? When I am grouped by tags for instance, I may not remember what tags I am looking at and don't want to have to slide back and forth to see what the tag is. The old grouping has what grouping you are in at the top and I find this very useful. I normally use my Nexus 7 in portrait view - in landscape I can see the grouping because the drawer stays open. When I switched from portrait to landscape, the books stay on the shelves, but when I switched back to portrait there are no books or shelves until I touch the screen again. List view works properly here. I like being able to specify first letter grouping easily by group. Cover grid view - I like it and I am getting seven covers across with portrait and four with square! I am also glad to see the choice for grey. The only problem is that every time I scroll up and down, I have to wait for the covers to appear no matter how many covers across I have. I left the cover size at normal. I see a problem that I had before and never mentioned still exists - I deleted a few custom columns in Calibre, but they are still in my book details after connecting wirelessly. I thought they would be removed. Thanks for all the hard work! |

You can check by going to preferences - Add your own columns, if you see the columns you thought you had deleted then they were just hidden. If you remove them from this screen then the data will be removed from CC the next time you connect. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 08-15-2013 at 07:57 PM. Reason: sp |

CC's FAQ states: Quote:
I went into CC and verified that all of my books had a custom column and field. My example is a custom column (w/assoc. field) called "Working Finished". This metadata info showed at the bottom of the Book details page for every book. I went into calibre and removed the custom column "Working". I restarted calibre I verified the custom column was gone. I connected CC as a wireless device. I waited for the 3 jobs to finish.
I exited CC Cleared CC's cache Opened CC The column was still reflected on the Book details page of all of the books. Deleting and resending a book will correct the metadata for that one book. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 08-15-2013 at 09:29 PM. |

@chaley I experience a problem when switching between landscape and portrait in the grid view that I don't experience in the list view. If I am in the middle of scrolling through a grid view accidentally shifting to landscape will cause the books to reset to the beginning, same is true changing back to portrait. Loosing your position does not happen if you are in list view. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 08-15-2013 at 10:28 PM. |

Strange. I just did a reboot to see if it would help, but it didn't. I wonder if anyone else with an original Nexus 7 has this problem. I am rooted, but have the stock rom and kernel. I am still on 4.2.2 though.
So how's the Nexus 7 2013? I am waiting for the LTE version. |
