Caliber library cover view?
I can't figure out how to configure Calibre to show the cover view browser under the library list like in the tutorial. I read that it will now appear to the side on my screen. It does, but only a selected cover, not the iPad type browser. I can show it in a separate frame, but not in the main page. Any insight is appreciated.
BTW Calibre ver. 0.7.7 Cheers, kev Last edited by bugeyed; 07-03-2010 at 10:15 AM. |

OK, thanks! Duh!!!!! Missed that!!
Any way to change screen location? It appears above the list. Thought it was going to be on right with a wide screen. Thanks, kev |

OK, thanks. I read wide/narrow view as the screen, not the browser.
Thanks, kev |

I have a wide screen and I didn't much care for it on the bottom but I do like it in the new center position. It also looks good on the right hand side. Both positions are a great improvement. |

What about disabling the caption, make the font of it smaller or reducing the space between the caption and the cover?

Yikes!
A Super Necro post . Did you read the post age advisory? Those posts were made back when Calibre was a 0 dot level release (and I was the e-reader newbie ) Calibre has evolved tremendously since then. Main GUI Visual properties are controlled by Preferences: Look and feel: <each section tabs> The Editor (did not exist back then) and Book Viewer have their own Preferences controls Personally, I prefer Grid View (did not exist back then) the cube icon at the bottom, and The Information pane instead of Details: Black arrow icon. |

Thanks, ducks, but with the newest version it does not seem possible what i asked for:
...disabling the caption, make the font of it smaller or reducing the space between the caption and the cover in the "COVER BROWSER"? |

Nope Look at the Caption Template Button features
You can change where it displays (Wide or Narrow) on Look and Feel: Main Interface tab You can run it Detached: Look and Feel: cover browser tab |

That said, it does appear that the font size control in Preferences - Look and Feel - Cover Browser - Template editor does not work. I would also have thought selecting a font size of zero would have eliminated the caption. Find out how to report a bug or ask for an enhancement or new feature on this page. |

Dr Oh
You are correct. I set a template, so I got the Apply button Changing the font size, does not trigger an 'Apply" BUT if you crank up the size, it changes the size of the TEMPLATE not the target AND I just tried removing the template <image> |
