As you are going to release officially Calibre 2.0, I would like to request as follows:
1) Ebook Viewer supports epub popup footnoote Code:
<a href="#n1" epub:type="noteref" >1</a> <aside id="n1" epub:type="footnote" > This is a note <aside> 2) Plugin Polish support "update jacket" Currently if I check both "add" and "remove" jacket, it only remove the jacket And... off-topic Do you plan to develop a Viewer for Android (iOS)? Please make one, and sell it as expensive as Mantano. All other readers in Android, for free or for fee, are not good enough (design, function, tech support) |

@LucyOne, I have set the setting (Preferences-> Look & Feel-> Extra spacing to add in between rows) to -0.5 and I think it looks good. This setting 5 lines longer appear to me.
Thanks to @kovidgoyal. |

I doubt Kovid will make an app he is busy enough atm and probably doesn't have time to develop in a whole new language which he may have to learn to start with. I dont know if Kovid ever learned Java, he is a Python man. Just because Kovid does good work doesn't mean he is the only one who can do it. Personally, I am hoping for Marvin for Android. |

I assume what you want to do is to update the existing jacket if there is one, or add a the jacket if there isn't. If that is the case, just select the add option. If you read the "About" text for it, it says that any existing jacket will be replaced. My quick test confirms this.

I once wrote a model of the unconscious filter that human minds use in Java as a teenager. The difficulty (if any) of programming an Android app does not come from the language, more from learning the android specific API's. It is on my TODO list to make an in browser ebook viewer as part of the content server, that will then work everywhere. I dont have much interest in programming for specific mobile OSes.

Oh yes, this is a very real issue. Not only must one learn the API, which is large, but one must also learn all the magic stuff they don't tell you. For example, when building a dialog, one API variant creates buttons that auto-dismiss the dialog while another variant requires you to explicitly do the dismiss. Another example: orientation changes in effect kill and restart the app, destroying in-instance state. Even after two years of working on CC I am discovering hidden "features" of the Android environment. Calibre+python is much easier to understand and work within than Android, even though it is a very large and complex collection of code. |

I've been using Calibre 2.0 for a time now and I've only found an issue: If I try to edit a Yes/no field in the library view, the undefined value doesn't stick, but if I open the metadata windows and I edit there, then the undefined value sticks.

@BR: Not really, those colors come from the Qt style.

Kovid,
Here are my findings. Main GUI: 1. With checking the new cover grid emblems I notice, that you allow defining the icon size. In the new Beta version, the icon size for column icons is bigger than in the actual version. Is it maybe possible to define the size for these icons too? 2. (Generally) In the preferences dialog for cover grid you have the three sections Main, Emblems and Performance. I am not sure but I think you are using the string "Main" on different places. In the cover grid section the existing German translation is not a good one. Is it possible to define for this section an own translation string? The eBook-Editor: Window Code inspector: 3. I can modify the settings but I cannot store them. 4. I have a search mask to the top right window in the actual version. I am not able to show it in the beta version. The various tool windows: 5. The bordering of the different windows within the editor is not visible. The dots are a too small as border identification. Is this related to Qt5? 6. I found a repeatable error with regrouping of windows within the editor. Please see the attached picture. If you look on the right, I stack the windows for Check book and preview. If I now detach the File preview window and the put it below the check book window I became an error calibre parallel.exe stop working. File viewer window: 7. (Generally) Is it possible to integrate a collapse /expand all for the file viewer (same way as you have it for ToC right click context menu)? System is Windows Vista 64bit. Edit: 2. add "Main" Last edited by Divingduck; 08-04-2014 at 05:05 AM. |

Guessed that was the problem, but thought I'd ask

1. https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...52&postcount=4
2. You mean "Main"? 3. This is a limitation of the inspector window in Qt5 4. Not sure what you mean 5. Yes that comes form the Qt 5 style. 6. Seems to be a QT 5 bug, I will have to investigate in more detail. 7. IMO this is not worth the menu space. There are only five categories to expand/collapse |

2. I can change the text to some thing like 'Layout'
4. Unforntunately, the entire inspector view comes from Qt, I have no control over it at all, so nothing I can do about it. |
