Revise and unify Settings #418

Open DMcCunney opened 7 years ago

DMcCunney commented 7 years ago

At the moment, FBReader settings are scattered in several different areas, and really should be all in the same place.

I have FBReader Premium installed. To get to Settings to change how FBReader behaves, I must be in an opened book. I should be able to reach Settings from the main menu.

To configure Bookshelf Settings, I must be in a Library category, like Recently Opened, and if I'm in Classic View, I can't do it at all. (I prefer to use Classic view because of the time required to display thumbnails of the covers. I just have way too many books for that. ) And if I'm in Classic View, the Recently Added category doesn't appear. All categories should be available in all views.

It would be nice to get to FBReader settings from the menu, and Bookshelf settings from the same place. (If the user has standard FBReader and doesn't have the Bookshelf plugin, Bookshelf settings should simply not appear.)

And along that line, it should be possible to configure FBReader to open to the menu instead of automatically reopening the last book the user was reading.
