Feature Request: Navigation improvements #89

Open tibers opened 8 months ago

tibers commented 8 months ago

The navigation is opaque at the moment. A lot of folks say "Oh I clicked on the book to open it but I only get the first page" and then stop there. At least have clickable arrows or some hint to the users that they need to use the left and right keys? :)

First of all, thank you for this plugin. I agree with the previous message. My first use was an ordeal until, by chance, I pressed the “right and left” arrows on the PC keyboard. It would be nice to be able to display a reminder of the functions available during navigation.

I will also add the possibility of zooming on the page or on a specific area of the page because certain texts / comments / annotations / images are completely unreadable (especially on tablets or smartphones).

I would like to propose a representation or functions like : right arrow / left swipe: next page (already present) left arrow / right swipe: previous page (already present) up arrow / swipe up: page movement upwards down arrow / swipe down: page movement down double click / double tap: Zoom / Unzoom (or set/unset on the width of the screen)

You can zoom in if you save your ebooks in CBZ format which is a zip file containing .jpg of each page and renamed from .zip to .cbz. You can find pdf to cbz converters online.

I would like it if the ebook feature had page numbers, Go To page, and a search feature. A Go To would be most helpful in starting where you left off.

If there are any zooming, please explain how you use it in Jellyfin Media player, on phones, tablets and Android TVs. Part of my eBooks are in PDF format along with CBZ and CBR. So, it will welcomed to have zooming for all the supported format too.

@crobibero Nagivation is woefully lacking. I too was stuck on the first page and assumed the plugin was defective. I tried scrolling mouse wheel, pressing page-up/page-down, spacebar and finally stumbled upon the arrow keys. Left/right arrow keys let me change one page at a time. But what if I want to jump ahead to page 50 or 200? How do I do that?
