Calibre, saving screen settings before screen rotation
have a Samsung Galaxy TabPro S.
I like to read in portrait mode. after reading some of a book, i close the program. but then I might put tablet in Landscape mode, and use some on screen editing, etc. I may open calibre to look at books, etc, the lists. BUT, when opening in landscape, it changes teh book viewing settings, so that if I go back to PORTRAIT mode, i hve to re-adjust screen, etc. WHAT settings (folder, files) can I save, after exiting portrait, so that the next time I start portrait (assume i did not edit books, etc, in landscape, but may have opened something up and then closed it), I can RE-LOAD those files/folders, and be reight back where I was after teh last PORTRAIT exit (thus ignoring anything that got visibly changed in landscape) thanks for help |

i am not sure, i am getting used to the settings. When in portrait mode, the screen looks good, but if I happen to go to landscape, and happen to open the book, it sets new screen size, and then when i go to portrait, i have to re-adjust the book page view. I want to SAVE the config files that relate to the screen display, so that upon exiting portrait i can save them (I can create a batch file), and when i restart portrait i can reload them

thanks for reply
i tried the tablet mode; but then the reading pane is too big. i like the desktop mode, for calibre, i have the window set for a good reading size. i'd still like to know which file should be saved, that has that screen setting, so in case i screw it up, it is easy to revert to the prior settings. again, thanks |

Make sure the viewer is closed before you copy it. There's no guarantees you wont break something when you change things in the config folder (it's a collection of loosely related objects). So before you start trying things I suggest: close all calibre components - library manager, viewer, editor, server and anything else from the calibre install folder (e.g. C:\Program Files\Calibre2) then take a backup of the entire calibre configuration folder. Just zip the entire directory and put it somewhere safe. BR |

thanks for the reply, and not a problem, for the backups - i have it backed up across three drives, and into the cloud, so i can easily recover if needed
