Option to disable endless scrolling #2334

Open antifessional opened 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Endless scrolling creates huge pages, bogs down the browser, and clashes with the page selector at the bottom, which is unreachable.

Describe the solution you'd like Add a checkbox field "Disable endless scrolling" under Admin -> UI Configuration -> View Configuration

A workaround is to have only so many book displayed that they fit on a page (in admin -> Edit UI configuration -> View Configuration -> Books per Page). Then the page selector is displayed and doesn't disappear. grafik

But if you switch this on, it still scrolls endlessly (only not in the search, otherwise it does). @OzzieIsaacs The endless loading is already extremely tedious. Why does this actually exist?

I don't understand this, what do you mean with switch on?

Jerome2103 commented 2 years ago

Sorry, I meant a value defined. @OzzieIsaacs

If you can scroll down, the books don't fit on a page and endless scrolling is enabled. Endless scrolling was used in Calibre-Web before I joined it, and I feel it's comfortable. You just scroll down and the next books appear (well at least for me).

Are you using the standard theme or the Caliblur Theme? What Browser are you using?
