Place the book detail panel at the bottom?

annekaelber · 07-19-2023, 08:24 PM

Hey all!

I had to reset my Win10 PC (where I keep my library) and I'm trying to get back to how I had it. I guess not all the settings get saved with the library.

Where can I specify that the book detail panel should be hortizontal along the bottom, instead of vertically along a side? I've been through every setting (I think?) and I cannot find one that will do what I did before. (Real clear, I know.)

Thanks y'all! I'm just too frazzled from the reset -- I'm probably staring right at it.

Go to Preferences => Look and Feel. Change the User interface layout (needs restart) to Narrow. Apply, restart calibre and you should see the Details at the bottom of the screen.

It worked! I'll make a note of that setting in my reinstallation SOP. Thank you!!!

You also might want to do something about securing your calibre configuration settings, see How do I backup calibre?
