geometer / fbreader Goto Github PK

The Search dialog has labels like 'In w&hole text'; those & do nothing on this platform.

1. New option in Preferences menu (variants: screen always on, on for 30,60,120,etc seconds)
2. Control brightness from BookTextView screen (may be in android-fbreader style, on left part of screen)

In Local Library and in Network Library

Currently the MeeGo interface is the default light gray for the toolbar and menu, but when opening the options page it switches to black. Why not just have the entire interface black all the time?

Having

Component.onCompleted: {
    theme.inverted = true
}

in Main.qml does the trick, is much less complicated than switching back and forth, is consistent across the entire interface, and I can confirm in PR 1.1 it looks fine. The only issue is the inverted menu background is transparent, but this is a known bug in Qt Components and is fixed upstream.

Swipe scrolling should leaf through the book's pages. Vertical or horizontal swipe should be used depending on preferences.

Size and font should be looks like in soft buttons.

When one has a directory with a large number of subdirectories (e.g. one for each author), it's hard to sequentially explore them, since hitting the '..' item doesn't go back to the previous view -- with the directory you just saw highlighted, but rather jumps to the top of the parent directory.

At lest, for help.
Also, it could be used for calling menu by tap at bottom of the screen (in fullscreen menu, for i.e)

FBReader segfaults instead of exiting cleanly after you close the window.

E.g., 'droid sans'.

Item's size in comboboxes should be larger, like other menu items (for instance, in main menu, library menu).

• information about all format supporting
• remove "to turn page swipe screen" string from help (if it won't be implemeted to release date)
• fix help about activating menu (thre's written that tapzone is bottom-center part)

Sometimes when I accidentally tap near the center of the screen, I can't tell if I went one page up or down -- there's no feedback animation to tell me. And tapping near the bottom of the window is a bit of a hit or miss -- I can't tell when I'll page down, and when I'll make the toolbar appear.

At least, for Symbian^3

I once got seriously lost in the Book Info dialog: after trying to edit the book title with the virtual keyboard, I closed the vkb but the dialog itself did not expand back to full screen size, and the "<" toolbar button did not function. Even more fun: hitting Backspace in the virtual keyboard did not erase a character in the Title input box, but rather went back to the main Book Info menu/list page. Hitting Backspace again repeated the animation but kept returning to the main Book Info page. I was not able to go back to reading the book and had to close FBReader and restart it.

1. One field for text (NO options like "search in whole text", "ignore case" and "Backward")
2. Popup window at bottom of screen, with 3 buttons: "prev", "close" and "next" (with easy-to-understand icons insteand of text)

The horizontal position indicator looks a bit out of place, UI-like.

Open File... doesn't sort the files/subdirectories alphabetically.

The new version of qt-components in PR 1.1 (on N950) breaks option dialogs like DialogComboView. Clicking the tumbler button produces no effect. Below is the debug output:

Now it takes so long time to show library, because there's a retrieving and scaling covers of books.

Add large arrows 'up/down' for increase/decrease font size. Instance: for increase/decresae font size in preferences.

option for that, placed in 'directories' menu item, is not 'visible' for users now

Example: user read book, and want to manage volume level from our app

Standard menu/exit buttons at bottom (right in horizontal mode) of the screen could be really annoying during long read. Provide option to hide these buttons during reading. This option should be on by default.

Is that really necessary? Even if Qt is already installed on my device?

Sometimes page scrolling by tapping screen works, sometimes it doesn't.

It should be layouted to be in the middle of item (now subtitles are on the bottom of item)

Provide full Russian translation of interface.

I kind of miss kinetic scrolling for the book text.

When I click a catalog item in network library, empty screen is shown for a time. In fact, data are loading in this time, however that is not obvious for user. We have to implement some way to explain to user that catalog loading is in progress.

Android solution is to show a small revolving wheel in right upper corner of the screen. We also have to investigate what solution is consistent with symbian and meego UIs.

From our feedback:
"Search funciton takes me to a separate screen. This is slightly jarring since quite a few apps have split-screen text entry enabled since the Symbian Anna update"

From our feedback:

I have been searching for a ebook reader for my Nokia N8 and discovered FBReader. I have found it to be very good. However the one problem I am having is it is taking 20-30 seconds to load a book. Once loaded everything works fine and is better than anything else I have discovered, however this is a major problem.

Lack of horizontal margins in the Open File... dialog makes it clash with the rest of the platform look & feel.

Provide a way to add custom OPDS catalog to the network library

For i.e., Preferences menu

Sometimes, kinetic scrolling isn't working properly (especially on Symbian^3)

Maybe make text element rectangle larger?
