Please, when anonymous folk on a forum can hurt my feelings then it would be time for me to move on.

Could have mentioned that earlier, Grandpa, instead of showing your american "wisdom".

Actually it was your rambling that caused me to even think of where I would go to suggest a enhancement, so I went and searched on the project page.
Now that I think about it both of my grandchildren are noobs. American, Ethiopian, or Belgium, wisdom is wisdom, I'm glad that you recognized it as such. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 01-24-2011 at 05:45 AM. |

Oh, please. This is the absolute pinnacle of arrogance. People create a program in their free time and offer it for free to you, yet you demand, not ask, but demand, that your every whim be catered to? Get lost already. You're not making any friends with that mindset.

how many books does it take to fill 10Gb. ? well with a generous 500kb average epub size that's... er... a hell of a lot... time needed to actually read them instead of winging about folder sturctures - >1 lifetime a guess comparison- windows media player also operates a database. it hides it well but it exists. folks don't complain about the way it stores its cover art etc. they just the player to find stuff. |

Hey, I never said his point was valid for Calibre. I even said the opposite... The statement "customer is king" only is valid when you can "bribe" the creator into doing what you want them to do. Usually, this is done by saying: if you don't you won't see my money. In this case, the creator will say: who cares? So, no bribary possible!

Mention something against america, and there comes the hate. :P
My own fault guys. Seriously. What i meant by 'consumer is the king' is that: didn't kovid made calibre keeping in mind that someone will use it and infact i feel good when someone uses my program. So i just wanted to say that maybe this feature is what users wanted, but i didn't know you "Don't want to know, Don't want you to know, Change is bad, You know nothing, We know all" people were already satisfied with it. So i am not complaining now. See what I did again?? |

To all those that have a problem with the structure, why don't you change the property to Hidden! Then it shouldn't bother you.

But asking with such a "tone" and insulting other people isn't going to get you anywhere. Even IF by god's grace Kovidgoyal wanted to code it... your tone would put any developer off. So... congrats on being a dick. >_> Quote:
And I can tell you that it's like... a sickness. Collecting books I mean. But well... I have mostly reference books of science. Just about 400-500 are my pleasure reading. Last edited by darknessangel; 01-24-2011 at 07:27 AM. |
