"All Books" issue and other enhancements

[PhilipElom]

In the All Books category, not all books have their Author's name showing despite that metadatum being filled out. And speaking of the Home Page, it would be nice to see it more detailed displaying the file name and directory, the actual book and other metadata (like Notes, Summary, Tags). It would be nice not to click each book to see this. Thank you for your work.

I misunderstood the issue you reported via email, I didn't realize you were talking about the names of the artists/staff in the books, I thought it was about the main list of all the authors. I've fixed that, and now all authors are shown. (check the screenshots below, is that what you're talking about?)

As for showing more details, it's simple in the coding, but the UI part... there's not enough room. A simple example is the synopsis, on a regular smartphone (1080p screen, system set to small font size), only two lines of the synopsis would be visible in a comic with a two-line title. Using the system set to a large font size, there is no room at all. And I'm not going to increase the size of the items, it's already too big...

Examples:

• Small font size

• Big font size

It doesn't really matter if the entire synopsis shows. At least, that little tidbit could pique or satiate a reader's curiosity as regards the comic he's about to read.

1. I wouldn't mind if the UI looked just like the first screenshot with the smaller font. I would love it, in fact (with the file path included). It's just a matter of making the thumbnail larger and the fonts smaller.
2. When I spoke about the Author issue, I meant that not all the books had their Author's name being displayed in the All Books category despite the metadata being filled out.

Here are two screenshots of the issue. The first screenshot has the Authors' names right there. The second doesn't after I scroll down bit and then back up.

I can't see the screenshots because you replied by email, but I know the problem. I found and fixed it when I was working on the code to merge all the author names.

[PhilipElom]

But why aren't the changes reflecting on my device? Do I need re-install the app?

The fix will be in the next app update, but no date has been set yet.
