Ubuntu: Thumbnail support for ebook files
Hi,
I submitted this idea on the Ubuntu Brainstorm site, and thought I'd link to it here as it may affect you. I don't know whether this could be addressed in Calibre or in Ubuntu itself (ebook files aren't "readable" in default installation) but please vote for the idea if you like it. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27462/ At the moment ebook files, other than PDFs, have a boring thumbnail based on their filetype. Whereas PDFs, PNGs etc. display the front cover, so at the moment the behaviour is not consistent. ![]() Many thanks p.s. Sorry if this is on the incorrect thread, please move if it is. ![]() |

![]() Your screen slot indicated you are messing about under Calibre's skirts. please read this sticky: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=119175 You can view books internally with Calibre's Viewer. When you used the Installer: Calibre should have set a file association to use 'E-Bookviewer.exe' You can set your own choice (mine is set to use Sigil as the default) BTW this work on Ubuntu version through Natty (11.04) |
