[Feature request] Provide choice for "The"-article and capitalising each word #915

Open BeOSR opened 1 week ago

BeOSR commented 1 week ago

Would it be possible to choose whether one wants to capitalise each word in book title or not? Personally, I completely hate it, and I have to spend a lot of time correcting it afterwards. Also, putting the article "The" at the end of a title does not seem to make much sense. For sorting titles alphabetically, the article could just be ignored. Otherwise, I see very little point in transforming "The death of Bunny Munro" into "Death of Bunny Munro, The".

Since, I'm assuming, most of us, for book titles, would PREFER each word capitalized, like they are when listed almost anywhere, it seems (if I'm correct about the majority), it would be equally inconvenient for whomever is the majority, to have to change it to suit their needs. The best option, if necessary, would be to have that as an option in the App, but not sure what that involves.

Either way, since I don't interact much in this group, I want to reiterate how INCREDIBLY valuable this App is to me for my 4500 book library. I'd literally be lost without it and hope it stays updated forever.

Thanks to the Developer!

Best, Jay
