The app includes 3 separate profile themes: light (pictured), sepia, and dark, which layers white text over a dark background. If Java is used the Calibre plugins may be supportable using the scripting API, Jython and adapter objects.When reading an ePub or mobi book you can increase/decrease the font size, adjust the margins, tweak the line height and change the background/text color using a handy pop-over menu in the Bookworm toolbar. #EBOOK MANAGER 2017 SOFTWARE#What others or I could look at is to retain the Calibre file system and database, so that it can be used for the unimplemented gaps, reverse engineer them and start to write replacement compatible software which does things more professionally with proper web services i.e. #EBOOK MANAGER 2017 CODE#* Migrate most of the code away from horrible Python and it's obviously inadequate libraries, I'd prefer Java. using light weight tablet UIs and for headless installs on a NAS. * Calibre is properly split into modularised components with web services, so that the user can swap out the UI and add remote control e.g. * Calibre gets layered search with a much faster database, so that I only need one main Calibre directory. * Calibre at least uses a proper fast database for indexing, at least SQLLite and a fast search engine like Lucene. What I hope happens, but doubt ever will are: requires manually editing config text files, which is so not OK. the locking collisions and data corruptions I saw for Microsoft Access and Visual Sourcesafe. Some people have suggested sharing the book and database files, but that is a very very stupid idea which will lead to data corruption e.g. I would use Moon Reader, but still needs Calibre to make a Calibre library that could be recognized by reading softwares, and also, reading softwares are too basic regarding metadata/tags editing.Ĭalibre is a monolithic, spaghetti mess of untyped Python code which is painful to figure out for even an experienced developer like me, but it still seems to be the most comprehensive, free, ebook organiser & reader software.īecause you can't easily categorise a lot of books because of the crappy and slow Not-Invented-Here 'database', I am forced to set up loads of library folders to make it manageable, because saved searches can't be layered, so are useless for this. However, I didn't find a software to edit metadata and tags, find covers, as Calibre do, but with an interface to read, that prevents eye straining. I'd like to quit Calibre, and no hope it could become better, because developpers are autistic. To find an option in Calibre, you need to go and fetch in a ton of submenu, it's a nightmare. The way tags and categories are managed and edited, is also a true heachache. Everything is like this, there is only one way to do things, their. They could add an option to let the user decide the way he wants his book to be managed in folders, but now, they have the best solution, and if you prefer another one, you are a moron. If I have 900 books, I have to go and fetch each of my books in each folder. The apps get really confused with the fact each book is put in a folder with the author name. ![]() #EBOOK MANAGER 2017 ANDROID#They didn't understand that some users uses Calibre to edit, and then use android apps to read. Calibre forces me to organize my books in a way that is not comfortable. I don't like Calibre, because of the way it manages the folder. I didn't speak to them, but I read on the forum, they don't care if users ask for an improvement of the not so good thing, they claim their ways are the best possible. Yes, I noticed Calibre developper are rude morons. L A Z Y!įor now, I'll just tolerate renaming a book, exit the part failed metadata edit, re-edit the metadata of the new index name, then clean out the no longer unindexed junk later. It really stinks that the help rejects fixing this broken code so that it works properly with a NAS. If you can't rename a folder because your code is moronic, like still having unclosed explicit or implicit directory locks, including directory watches or current directory handles, or doing unnecessary fail causing stuff, you can still switch to the copy and delete move approach, then leave what's left for a later clean-up, preferable marked for later deletion by name or marker file! #EBOOK MANAGER 2017 FULL#errors when the database is on a NAS in my case FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-201503270027 with full user file permissions to a Windows 7 mapped share of a ZFS ZRAID2 dataset with windows permissions and filesystem support. Another 'feature' of Calibre which is obviously caused by some pathetic bug in the Calibre python file handling code is trying to rename books and getting nonsense permission and lock etc. ![]()
