Folder styles

  • Series, authors, folders and collections can be drawn six ways: Divider card, Ribbon, Book stack, Collage, Text or None
  • Set one for the whole library under Settings > Cover display > Default folder style, or give a single shelf its own by long-pressing its chip
  • The picker stays open while you try styles and the shelf redraws behind it, so you can compare them
  • Collage shows up to four of the group's covers; with two or three, the gap is filled with a wash drawn from the covers' own colours

OPDS catalogues

  • Covers load automatically for the page you are on, a few at a time, rather than only for the books you tap
  • They are fetched off the main loop, so paging and drilling into categories stay responsive while they arrive
  • Listings are kept in a database on the device, so going back into a catalogue is instant instead of fetching it again, and a catalogue you have already opened can still be browsed with no connection (downloading and search still need one)
  • The last-page chevron walks a category to its end and lands you on the last page with books on it - it counts as it goes, and a tap stops it and keeps everything already loaded
  • Restarting inside a category returns you to it, on the page you left
  • Each catalogue has its own settings: where its downloads are saved, and whether it refreshes on its own or only when you swipe down

Fixes

  • A chip's filter follows it into subfolders (#323)
  • "Go to letter" searches the folder you are in rather than the one above it (#307)
  • Swiping the hero card steps through the page instead of jumping to its ends (#325)
  • With true cover aspect ratio on, the shelf fits four rows again at the default cover size (#329)
  • Pressing down on a d-pad reaches the footer from a part-full shelf
