Project MUSE: Make PDFs more manageable #3153

Open AbeJellinek opened 1 year ago

Project MUSE books have one PDF per chapter; currently, when you save a book like this one, you get a ton of PDF attachments. They end up sorted in alphabetical order in your library, which is even worse. (As discussed in the thread, the Connector currently throws when trying to translate that page with the MUSE translator, but it works fine in Scaffold.)

We could consider:

The error that you get when you append /pdf to a book's URL implies that some books do have full-book PDFs, but I haven't found an example of that yet.

I feel that the first suggestion would be the more practical one especially for a book with many chapters.

I like the idea of an item-selection menu with the book itself as the first item. But this might interfere with the plan of replacing the URL-matched item's title with special text.

But we'll need a bookSection handler for Project Muse anyway.
