libgenapps / libgendesktop Goto Github PK

hello,

Regarding the app.

Scan log - missing formatting , it would be great to know what error(path too long? access rights? being used?) actually happen
Scan algorithm - very slow, constantly keeps triggering false positives

the false positives have following in common:

libgenID: 83308
filesize: 0.00 bytes
comments: md5 файла нулевого размера

this app seems to have a long way to go thanks for yours work

I read that you are preparing major changes in version 1.4.0 and would like to suggest that an option be added to filter by book language.
That would be very welcome.

Based on this code, the app only does NonFiction sync. Is that correct?

On Linux, I've ran the program (using mono) and gotten the following error message:

The entry point method could not be loaded due to Could not load file or assembly 'PresentationFramework, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies.

Mono also supports Mac OS so supporting both OS's can be done with the same effort.

What is the license of the code in this repository?

When I "synchronize" the database, only "Non-Fiction-Book list" is updated, but the section of "Scientific Articles or white papers" is not synchronized, is it really not updating that section or is it visual?

some things annoy me a bit as of now

• can download books as PE32 format and attempt execution
• timeouts too often
• is not capable of resolving errors such as book returned as HTML

Basically the length of the directory + name is too big and it is failing, while I can easily get the address and go to the browser and get the file by downloading manually (without a length error) this would be against the automation of the LibgenDesktop app. I have been trying to fix it myself but my expertise is not that advanced and so far have not being able to fix it. I would highly appreciate a guideline to point me in the right direction so I can keep trying and I can give you all my code for your review, I know you are about to update to a new version, is this scenario covered on that version or should I keep trying? thanks in advance man!

Hi!
I would like to contribute to the project, is there a guide to how? Is there anything not implemented?

hi, thanks for making access to the library that comfortable.
I am wondering whether any of you experienced this:
When downloading, the chosen mirror is slow, you want to change the it in settings and wait for the next download to use that very mirror.

Instead of the desired behavior, there is no change in mirror.
I tried:

• changing mirror while active downloading
• changing mirror while stopped downloading
• changing mirror while active downloading, then close and start the app
• changing mirror while stopped downloading, then close and start the app.

I can not understand the error since it has worked in the past but I think it was a previous version of the (mobile) desktop app.
Also, I did run the mobile version until the synchronisation stopped working after updating to v1.4.1,
then installed a desktop version. I dont think that this causes the behavior but wanted to give that information.

Here's the error I get when I try to synchronise:

Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {"name":"value"}) into type 'System.Collections.Generic.List`1[LibgenDesktop.Models.JsonApi.JsonApiNonFictionBook]' because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List<T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.
Path '', line 1, position 2.

and

How do I get this working?

It a great website and a good app. only Recommend to add advanced search like website and more column displaying options.

Hi!

Files with a large name cannot be saved. Alternatively, you can automatically truncate the name within the limits available on Windows systems.

Dear Developer, do you have the plan to design this for Mac platform?
Thank you!

Hello there,

Here is the fiction dump http://gen.lib.rus.ec/dbdumps/fiction_2020-02-17.rar with extracts to fiction.sql with Size: 2368562429 bytes (2258 MiB) and CRC32: A2E42C88.

On a clean install with no database, I select import, then I select fiction.sql and at the end I get

The logs don't give much info
2020-02-19_11-07-58.log

Right now when you click in the grid, only two menu items are available.

It's more useful to add an item to allow the user to copy the book name. The copied name can be used to search or rename the downloaded file etc.

When you use 64 bits version and try to open an existing database created using the 32 bits client, when you try to "synchronize" it will show a "database is locked error" interrupting and failing the synchronization attempt. It is not happening on the 32 bits version opening a database created on the 64 bits version.

优秀的工具！但是内置下载器存在如下问题：
批量下载时，已经完成下载的项目，在下一次启动libgen desktop 之后，默认为全部停止，如果选择全部启动，则已经下载的文件会被重新下载一次，有些文件会自动在文件名上添加（1,2..n）重命名再保存一次。有的则提示重命名失败，下载到了100%之后进度条变红。
如上问题对于批量下载多个文件应用时，用户体验不佳。需要人工鉴别哪些文件已经下载过，然后手工停止相关的下载任务。请问，在下一版的升级中，可否修正这个问题？
有一个 自动清理按钮，但是不知道具体用途，好像没看到相应的帮助文档。如果选择自动清理，是否会清除已完成的任务，还是连文件一并清除？还是清理出错的任务？还是清除死链接？ 麻烦开发者看到回复一下，谢谢！

Hello,

I propose to add the ability to write plugins.

Dark mode and ability to filter languages and authors are things that should be added, not just sort by 1 thing, lame af.

Out of nowhere I got this error. I have not been able to solve it.

I'm working on localization (will PR soon) and I have found an annoying date/time display bug.

On my computer I have Windows display language set to my native language so I have familiar UI texts and units of measurement; but I changed Regional Format (from Settings > Time & Language & Region, it's a dedicated setting to tell Windows how to format date and time strings) to match the locale where I stay to get my colleague readable auto timestamps on my work.

When setting Libgen to use Windows display language, Libgen uses the string specifier read from corresponding language file, which I set to yyyy 年 M 月 d 日 tt hh:mm:ss for Simplified Chinese. This will work if the Regional Format matches UI language (set to Chinese, China), it translates to "2019 年 8 月 7 日 下午 5:35" or something like that.

But my Regional Format is different, and the string becomes "2019 年 8 月 7 日 PM 5:36":

This is because Windows (and .NET) itself correctly uses English (Hong Kong SAR) for those date/time specifiers (yyyy, M, tt, etc.) although the UI language is different. Just so happens that everything else besides tt are both plain numbers in both Chinese and English.

Currently it isn't such a big deal but dead annoying to look at when dates are everywhere. It will become unreadable when a language uses a different numbering system for dates, or never uses 12-hour clock (tt returns empty string). One solution I can think of is to use localized dates ONLY when Regional Format matches UI language, otherwise let Windows deals with it by using a default short specifier (such as, g).

Hi!

After updating the mirrors and changing the main mirror, the download cannot continue if the server is no longer there, changing to a new mirror does not update the old links.

Regards

No matter what I try to download, it times out.

How about developing a client for the Linux platform?

You can at least write this app with the "Mono Framework, so it could run on Linux too.

Hey, I'm not sure how to style this, I don't often submit issues to projects. But I was wondering if you had considered making an Android port ofthe app. Its super useful to me on Desktop and I'd love to access it on my phone too. I know most Android apps are made in Java though. Maybe adding an option for a self-hosted web interface to the Desktop app would be an easier ask?

HI... so, there is no linux app? i can get the books from libgen with another app?
Thanks!

I have been trying with no success to change the default column order, from Title+Authors+Series+Year... to Title+Authors+Year(in ascending order)+Format+... But so far I can't find the piece of code that impacts the order! Is it in this order already on the database or is it chosen by any configuration file? In all humbleness and as an absolute rookie learner I'm looking for guidance on this matter.

I know how to add options to the "settings" menu, I intend to put order selectors in the setting menu so one can sort them and save it in the configuration file as default, but I'm stuck midway.

1.5 will be the final release of Libgen Desktop.

There will be no feature requests accepted or implemented except for the following:

• database dump downloader for the import window;
• search results column set customization;
• advanced and SQL search;
• saved searches and search history (will replace bookmarks);
• translation editor;
• scanning for files within archives;
• local library UI improvements.

Hello,

it would be convenient to implement the import function for the download list by hash identifier.

Hi,

I have tested it since 2 months on my locally installed application and it seems good.

PS.: I'm completly newbie on Github...
