The guess.ui dialog should show the candidates better #34

The current format (a list of text) is ugly, confusing, and doesn't show the 
covers.

Do you know a program called "MP3 Diags"? It's a tool to fix MP3 files, edit 
ID3 tags, etc. It has an interface where you have a couple of "guessers" to 
complete the information of a disk. I think it's not the best (you have two 
guessers with two different UIs which is a bit confusing), but it might give us 
some ideas.

No, I never heard of it. I'll take a look!

What about something like this?
We fill the text boxes with the info we have (if you don't want to use it for 
search, you can delete it... this is how MP3 Diags does it). Then you hit 
search and the list is populated. When you click in an item, you see the cover 
on the right. If you like it, you hit save.

Maybe we can add to my suggestion a place to put some extra information about 
the book (publisher, publication date, etc.) below the cover image.

Yes, I will add that.

Right now I am generating HTML and displaying it.

The advantage here is that we can show all the covers without bothering about 
downloads, cache, and whatever, and the look can be made pretty. it's looking 
like a simple solution.
