Hello,

It'd be handy to have a link to the library page somewhere on the admin page. Perhaps in the top bar right by the Save & Restart button.

Great software, thanks.

I've gotten the .jar running with oracle jre 9 as per a few other threads, but when I run the server the first time (--headless --remoteadmin) and go to http://ip:2203/admin/ it prompts me to create the new admin password then sits there timing out with a spinning circle.  It does not proceed any further, there's no further relevant output in console after it does the initial version check, and quitting/restarting just prompts me to create a new admin password again.

Am I missing an obvious step here, or what can I do to rectify this?  It is a headless VM so while I can monkey around with ratpoison or xpra to run the GUI in a container of some sort, I'd rather not if I can avoid it.

edit - the library also responds on :2202 but states there's no permission to view anything (I'm assuming due to not having created any users or added any content).

Hi Tom,

Very good & promising job with the v2! Thanks a lot! Starving from seing what this new baseline will allow to introduce as new features :-)

I read it was a design choice to use file name in v2.x instead of metadata title in former version v1.x.

I'd like you to re-evaluate your position, or at least let the administrator decide what fits best to each set-up.

Indeed, as far as I'm concerned, or all people using scraper like calibre one (I'm not), file name is used with the purpose to let the file being self-identified. This is not the same purpose in a comics library, as for most it is organized by folder.

To me, forcing the display as file names generate a really messy user experience.

Thank you in advance

I am having difficulty with a regularly changing public IP address from my ISP. Is there a way Ubooquity can be set up to allow logins that can sync the public IP between server and client?

Almost daily I have to log into my PC remotely to find what the public IP is to manually update it on the client/browser and I just know I'll get bored of that before too long. Think it would be of benefit for lots of users.

After update on Qnap to v 4.3.1 i cant access ubooquity anymore. Anyone experienced that issue?

Hello

Is it possible to have filter on books to sort only pdf and epub for example ?

Thanks

I run ubooquity on a synology DS212, it's a low memory device but sufficient for the job.

There are 2 points that make ubooquity very slow:

- opds acces. I use chunky reader and It takes a long time to get the initial list of folders. After that when I click on a directiry, it's fast, but the initial folder list of quite long (several minutes). I suspect this is because ubooquity is computing dynamically the list to provide and it takes a long time on my collection. Maybe you could pre-compute that initial list after the scanning process, this way it would make it faster

- latest comics. (opds or web acces) Same situation: it takes a long time to get the list, and I suspect it's the same reason. Mybe you could pre-compute that list after the scan to make it faster?

With some of the stuff I've added to my theme, it would drastically simplify if I could access settings. Really, any settings that aren't security related would be helpful.

Like if I could access whatever the user's "Reverse proxy prefix" was, I could compare the active page to the expected latest-comics page, and change the look of the "New" button accordingly.
Or if I could see if "Enable folder metadata display" is enabled, I could show/not show certain things on each page.

Otherwise I've got a list of settings at the top of a js file that need to be manually set before the first use.

I was wondering if there was any way we could get an option for the Latest Comics section to show more than 30 comics, or at least have more paginated? I often add a bunch of comics at a time, so some get pushed off the page, meaning there's no way to see that some series have new issues without manually navigating to their page.

This is a little idea for improving the user-experience

In the scanning page, the one that refreshes automatically every 5 secs, it would be nice to see the latest changes (addition/updates/removal). maybe you could display there an extract of the log file?

I see 2 benefits:

1. the user sees what is beeing processed, it's always interesting
2. In case of a problem, it would be seen there (if you dump the log in there); I've missed a java heap memory several time until I had the idea to look in the log file to see the error message
