Because people are nice

I have the Motorola Driod. I love your app. The only issue I have is I get a force close message everytime I try to add books by barcode. I didn't know if something was wrong with the phone or the app. If fixed it would definitely be one of my top ten favorite apps.

The new tabs are great, but I have to save the book then reopen to access the ratings and notes while the big tab at the top on the entry screen does nothing.

So a single book (with an editor) can list all the titles / authors within it

Take a snapshot of the book and save it to the bookCatalogue folder

As requested by Keridel (3/5/10) on the market comments

Help anybody?

Tab 1: Edit
Tab 2: Description / Notes
Tab 3: Loaned (see task #27) / ?

From the list, a single click should take you to Tab 1. Hold+Click should bring up a menu which allows you to jump to Tab 2 or 3.

The series field requires a double tap on the back button to exit and the next button does not function.

Scan 10-20 books at a time, and perform a bulk search

To simplify the current menu structure

The current thumb is way too small.

Amazon does not allow mobile devices to use their web services. A web service should allow us to work around this.

Export to CSV format. This should save onto the SD Card at this stage. Further options to email the export can come later.

The system should be able to import from the same format. Modified rows (identified with the same book Id) should be updated automatically. New rows (without a book id) should be added.

After importing, the export should be run again, to ensure new rows are given the appropriate id's.

Only the form fields should scroll

e.g. You have expanded "Isaac Asimov", select "Foundation" from the list of 10 books. Edited the book and saved, or just hit the back button.

Isaac Asimov will be collapsed when you go back.

It should remain open when you go back.

Primary reason for me is to use it as a loan tracker.
It would be nice to see who has loaned what book(s)

So images refer to the incorrect book

going straight to edit when selecting a book from the bookshelf is annoying. A display of the books details with a larger cover image would be great. (Raised via email from Colin)

flag duplicates when they're first scanned. Don't wait until they're saved. (Raised via email from Colin)

As requested by Luke

That displays on update.

Maybe add it to the database upgrade method.

From Sue (via email)

The force close occurred with 3 books, Broken Wings by V.C Andrews, Hawksong and Snakecharm by Amelia Atwater-Rhodes. I hope you can resolve this. The Book Catalogue is really the best on the market. (via email from Mary)

Instead of Book Catalogue (edit book) it should be

Book Catalogue (Foundation and Empire)

As CSV.

They should list like;

De Pierres, Marianne
Le Guin, Ursula

It's "author-centric" instead of "title-centric" and doesn't save it's state,
so every time I open it, I have to change from "All books" to the particular bookshelf I want,
then I want to see titles, so I have to do a Sort by Title... a bit of a pita to do every time.

Activity not found error

There should be an suggestion dropdown when typing in the search box

Similar to the suggestion dropdown in the author or title fields when editing a book. However the dropdown should contains words from all searchable fields.

Via email from Brenda

Currently Google books does not contain this information

e.g. Arthur C. Clarke and Arthur Charles Clarke

remove it

e.g.
http://isbndb.com/api/books.xml?results=authors,marc,details,texts,subjects&access_key=123456789&index1=isbn&value1=9780552134637

Help anybody?

This will require some research into the Amazon API

It is not obvious you are on the search results page

to include bookshelf and position details

(Via Feedback from Martin)

e.g. "The Trigger" by "Arthur C. Clarke" and "Michael Kube McDowell"

A link from the menu to fetch thumbnails for books that do not have thumbs.

Seach by ISBN first, then by author + title
