Somes ideas ..

Hi, what do you think about :
- drag and drop from one column to an another to copy for example an author, tags or un serie name with increment + 1 automaticaly ?
- in edit mode with the verification find a too large file it can split it, into 2 or more files and adjust links between them automaticaly?
- sometime table of contents is too large and kobo freeze and bug (need more memory?) so in edit mode if it can split in several files ( all 100 chapter for example) the content table ? (webnovel can have 6000 chapters ...)
- an entry in the search zone search in all the library, if the library is huge it will take long time, we have to enter in the specific dialog box to search for an author for example. it will be cool if we can change this default behavior et customize for an author search directly ...

thanks for your advises

Not that interested. Unless you have a confirmation dialog, the chances are excellent that you will drop on the wrong column.

The editor already supports file splitting.

Not possible. An ePub2 uses the entries in the .ncx file, an ePub3 uses the navigation document. As for the size of the ToC on a Kobo? I have seen issues but not until the number entries is well over 1000 entries. The only book where that became an issue for me was a textbook with chapters, sub-chapters and sections.

I'm not certain what you are asking for here. In my main library, with ~17K books, click on the cog in the search bar, enter an author name with autopopulation which removes the issue of typos. You can type an author name in the search field but that will search in all fields. As for the speed of search? On my computer, it's too fast for me to notice the difference between searching in the Main library or searching in an much smaller library.

If you are looking at the full text search, you can search for the author first and then limit the search.
