In case you're getting tired of all my whining, I *do* appreciate how amazingly responsive you are / have always been.

Hey you are doing me a favor by testing things for me. And regarding the image splitting onto multiple pages bug, that was indeed a bug and will be fixed in the next beta. Basically the way bounding rectangles work for multicolumn elements is different in blink than it was in webkit. So have changed the code to adapt to that.

But that means having to change the code which then won't work with ADE (RMSDK). I still am of the opinion that Calibre should change the % to vh or vw if the % is used for images (on the fly). Otherwise, wed have to keep changing the code depending on what software is going to display the eBook.

Looking great, thanks.

Pls add me to the list of folks eagerly waiting the return of the scroll bar.

Edit: Looks like you've also resolved the issues with longer loading time / between chapters gear

Huh there weren't any changes in the book details panel compared to the last beta, is this difference between 3.99.4 and 3.99.5? And on my machine, the row titles wrap at spaces, as expected. If you make the window super narrow then an occassional word does get wrapped in the middle, but that cant be helped.

@JSWolf: You dont need to change any code. Your fullscreen markup will work in both ADE and calibre as long as you use the recommended markup. If you try to make images that occupy the full screen using some custom hackery then yeah it may or may not work.

I think the font issue I described earlier will be more of a problem for people.

Cover comes to mind.
Only a file can only bear 1 File Semantic (not just a full screen limitation)

Thanks for fixing both the image and font size problems. Texted using both the ebook viewer and the server viewer.

BUG:

Header and footers is not displaying the correct series number, displays 1.

Make your book details panel wider.

When I tried to convert an epub to PDF and I inserted info to the Footer, it appeared on the Header.

I cannot replicate that. I put the text <footer>test into the footer template setting in the PDF output section of the conversion dialog and the resulting PDF file had test at the bottom of every page.

This is my configuration.
