[Idea] Adding a Start (read first) and resume buttons inside a series folder

Type of reader (if reader related)

None

Description of the new feature / enhancement

When you start the app and then click to open a series, there are buttons below the current Open button that are "Start" which will start the series from chapter 1 and a "Resume" button which open the last chapter you read.

Scenario when this would be used?

1. Why should we have these buttons? To imitate online manga reading site which users are familiar with and admittedly these buttons are very convenient.
2. Why the start button? Some series has over hundred chapters and some users has sort by descending orders as default so this button is very helpful.
3. Why the resume button? there is already a "Continue Reading" section. Well this is just to enhance users experience. usually I find myself just open the series I want to read and open chapters from there.

Conclusion: This is a request to enhance the users experience and to make the app even better. This is for your consideration.

Kind of duplicate to #343.

Improvising on this.

Add the 'start from first chapter' and 'resume' to the app's context menu, then this would also work for both view modes. Now you don't need to change any setting #343, as this would be ample for both gallery mode and normal mode.

Start from first chapter = As the name suggests, it would start from first chapter. Resume = This would start from last read chapter.

• On clicking Resume on 'Comic Series' it should open the comic from the last read chapter.
• On clicking Resume on 'Xhtml, Txt Series' it should open the xhtml, txt from the last read chapter.
• On clicking Resume on 'Epubs Series' it should open the xhtml, txt from the last read chapter.
• If its not present in history, then show 'no history record found or any other relevant message'.

Rather than 'resume', I suggest 'Continue Reading'.
