On the first beta version, the bottom right corner hour glass would spin. Haven't tried uploading files to the reader with .90 yet.

Kovid,
Do you have a features/requirements list for the GUI? There are a ton of things I would love to see added, but I'm betting most of them are already on your to-do list. Thanks, -KG |

v0.3.91 should soon be on the servers. It has a fix for a nasty deletion bug in the database view and also a refactoring of the code to sync metadata on the device, in preparation for supporting collections. Multiple file selection is back.
As a result you may find that you lose history bookmarks when you upload/delete from the reader, in which case let me know. EDIT: And thanks for all the bug reports so far. If I had to do all that testing on 3 platforms, I would simply never have time for coding. |

Oh, just noticed that the cover image no longer shows up in the bottom right corner, just the default tent.

Actually, they seem to be there when displayed under the reader, but not the library. Also, the only books on the reader that display a cover, are the ones that were added through the Sony Connect app. I deleted a few books from the reader, and re-added using libprs500, no cover.

I sent three books to the reader at once and didn't notice any rotation. As I said, I had to look at the reader for activity to be sure.
And as for the icons, that was just a small quibble. I use KDE. For my .lrf files, I've set the sytem up to show an icon of the reader itself. For libprs500, I set up a menu item using the same icon with the ubuntu logo superimposed on the screen. Thanks for answering the question about the library versus the hard drive. I'm still getting used to the library being a database file, rather than a representation of the files on my drive. And as for the "delete" function, something that makes it clear that it's just a removal (ie "remove from device" or "remove from library") would make me feel better. The first time I used the GUI, I was actually worried that "delete" would get rid of my archived file on the hard drive when I was just removing it from the library. Quote:

You'll only see the cover if you add a cover using the edit metadata dialog. It doesn't pick up covers automatically from books.

How about "Remove books"? Does the number of jobs change (under the hourglass)?

i think there's already a request for that. Once I integrate a GUI for the 2lrf tools it wont be necessary assuming you use the GUI to do the conversion.

Cool, but will I really need to use the GUI instead of the CLI? The files on my reader now were converted using lit2lrf, and uploaded via Sony Connect. I did zero meta-data changes. The only option used in lit2lrf was --delta-font=-1.25. I'm guessing that means the Sony software extracted the cover image, since I can see it when connecting to libprs500. Can the GUI not extract as well?
