[ArchiMark]

Will give it a try....

 

[Crono]

Looks great! Thanks. (Is there a chance to add epub format?)

I haven't tried this yet, but is there a way to add your own online content ?

 

[commander-beef]

Not now, but i might add it in new releases..

 

[ekianjo]

It hangs for me when I try to download anything from the online contents...


I have to kill the application. It does not respond anymore.

 

[commander-beef]

huh, some pdf are huge.. so you'll need to wait for download. Check the downloaded content in bookshelf app directory.. maybe its downloading.. i didnt implemented download progressbar so you might think bookshelf freeze..

 

[mcobit]

A progressbar for such stuff would be really useful

Agree multiple times. If I don't see any cue something is happening I am assuming it freezes

 

[Crono]

is there a way to know the length of the file you want download BEFORE you do so?

 

[ekianjo]

is there a way to know the length of the file you want download BEFORE you do so?

Good suggestion as well.


I suggest the following:


a display with two columns : name of online magazine + size


when you download it, the progress is tracked (either in a progress bar or with %) in a separate tab called "downloading..." just like in gpodder, for example.

 

[ArchiMark]

Just tried out app....works great overall.


I do agree with others suggestions for a progressbar, size of download, and if possible, adding other downloads...


Thanks!

What's the argument for using this program's local view over just having PDFs in directories and using a file manager?
