Position of panes

ownedbycats · 04-20-2021, 04:33 PM

Mostly out of curiosity to see how it would look, is there any way in wide mode to move the book details pane to the left of the book list? ebook-viewer allows rearranging the panes but I don't see any way to drag them in the library UI.

I suspect, at the time the Calibre Library Manager was first developed that the Qt GUI library didn't have support for dockable widgets, But by the time the book editor and current incarnation of the book viewer were developed support for dockable widgets had been added to Qt.

No the main GUI doesnt use dockable widgets, as BR said.
