THANK YOU! And a couple of questions (tags; global settings)

Tracy D. · Yesterday, 12:06 PM

I've recently purchased the JustRead app and I am beyond thrilled. For the first time my Calibre library and organization is available to use the way I want to. (I primarily read on eInk Kindle and iPad mini but I have other devices.) Thank you, Petr, for developing this app.

I'm working my way through tweaking my preferences, and I've run across two things I can't figure out from reading the documentation, so I don't know whether I actually have a question or a feature request.

1. Is it possible to select multiple tags? Currently it appears I can only select one at a time, but multiples would be very useful.

2. Is there a place to choose global settings for default margins, font spacing, etc.? I'd like to have my own defaults that the per-book settings can override.

I've looked here and in the documentation but didn't find answers to the above. Thanks to anyone who can shed some light.

Hi Tracy and thank YOU for this feedback :-).

1. Where exactly do you want to select multiple tags? In filters?
2. This will be lengthy...
For now, go to Settings > Reading and turn off Per-Book Preferences. Then open any book and set the margins and spacing you like. Those become your defaults. Turn Per-Book Preferences back on, and any change you make inside a book will apply to that book only.

It is a bit clumsy, so (thank to your post here) I will add a Default Reading Style page in Settings, so you can change your defaults without switching anything off.

Thank you for the feedback.

Hello Tracy, so I did it like this.
1. When you enable per-book preferences
2. A new option/menu appears for setting default reading style/preferences

Terrific, I will try that. Thank you.

For tags, I'm looking for the simplest way to select more than one and view the books that meet the criteria. I was assuming it would be in filters - but I saw someone somewhere request tags viewable in sidebar which might be nice too. I'm more concerned about simply being able to select multiple tags somehow.

AHA, so about those tags:
Yes you can now use filters for this, but there is a request in the Roadmap in the app for 'Tags list +/-...' which is prepared for 4.9 (4.8 is not being finished plus tested), as I need to find out how to 'properly' do it because the space in phone is kinda small.
