You really, REALLY should have started a new thread for this. MR isn't one of the forums that frowns on people starting new threads for new topics; we like it here. People are going to think this is a months-old discussion of something the OP dislikes, and never know you've got some questions.
Anyway, Starson answered your questions fairly well, I think. You will also want to read my .sig (the first post in it) for the answer to your third question. Unlike some of the rather technical discussions that go on here, it is, or at least should be (I tried) written for everyone. Oh, and hi. People tell me I'm not welcoming enough, so that's an official 'hi'. |

Thanks for the welcome and your explanation of the calibre file structure. I honestly wanted to start a new theme but as my wife often says I don't look properly and I couldn't for the life of me find how to start a new theme. Not just a newbie, a silly one as well. Thanks also to Starson17 for his explanation of how to use delete to remove a book, and the information that calibre does not handle music. I will work at it and look forward to using calibre as it gets better and better.

Update: I can also recreate your experience by selecting any book and clicking any key that is not a shortcut. I think this is your reproducible delete field, But hitting the delete key always deletes the book. Last edited by DoctorOhh; 09-11-2010 at 08:03 AM. |

I think the difference is from hitting the Backspace key instead of the Delete key.
Backspace deletes the text metadata in the (single-clicked) field, which makes sense to me as you generally use the Backspace key to work on a line of text. Delete deletes the item itself, which makes sense to me as you generally use the Delete key to remove a whole item in a list. Graham |

I just figured it out. I'm using the german translation of Calibre, the hotkey is given as "Löschen" (german for delete) in the menu. When I switched to using the english translation, the delete key works as advertised. When I switched back to the german translation, again, the delete key didn't work.
I believe that has some significance to our problem. |

Now that we've isolated the bug, is it possible to fix? And is debug data needed to do so?
EDIT: I just realized I probably should file a ticket for that. |

You can actualy fix this yourself by translating the delete key name correctly into german, here

Great on computer, but....
I've just updated my Calibre software. The more I use it the better I like it - on the computer. Are there any 'hints and tips' as to how to get a better experience when using my ereader [Sony PRS600]? I'm thinking particularily of navigation through the newspapers I have been downloading each morning, in my case The Independant and The Daily Mail. Using the E-book viewer on the computer I can quickly go to 'Life and Style' and then the article 'Mumsnet challenges M&S', using my mouse. I don't expect to do it this slickly on the ereader, but any tips on the best approach would be very welcome.
I hope I've pushed the correct button for a new post! Thanks for any help in advance. |
