unread flag

Matthieu 10 years ago updated by Anvi 6 years ago 5
Hi!

Thanks to Ubooquity ;-) my library becomes bigger and bigger, and therefore I get used to lost if I read one or another comic.

Could their be a flag added in the db, associated to each item, to say if you read it or still have to?
This would have to be per ubooquity user.

I'm expecting such feature to be not only appreciated by me in the community :-)

PS: a "tag as read/unread" feature, for an item or folder, would have also to be added, to close the loop.

Let us know! :-)
Cheers,
Mat

browse by categories, authors, etc in opds

Hello, I would like to be able to browse the library by author or category (extracted from calibre) rather than just the raw file structure on disk.

Sorting order issue with OPDS feeds

Elouan 9 years ago updated by Chip Woods 8 years ago 24

The sorting order in OPDS feeds is bizarre. All my files are named using the the same pattern

...\<Serie>\<Serie> - <Number> - <Title>


In OPDS feeds, I don't see the full filenames, only the titles. So I'm assuming Ubooquity is reading the metada and presenting the user with just the titles. It's nice, but it creates a problem when sorting the files:

If OPDS was using file names, I would see "Talon - 01 - clacla" before "Talon - 02 - blabla"

And I see blabla first and clacla second => OPDS is sorting the titles by alphabetical order instead of using the number.... even though it's reading the metada of the file and is certainly able to read the number!


Is there a trick to get Ubooquity sorting in the proper order (namely by number in the serie) ? I use Comicrack to write the metada.: maybe there is a special way to tag cbz files ?

User data stored on server - recent files, last reading position, read/unread, favorites, tags

tom h 7 years ago updated by orshak 6 years ago 3

This would be very useful.  I think recent files and last reading positions are most crucial.  Can be implemented through a sql database that maps this data to filepaths


Books can open to reading position when viewed (as a toggle-able feature)

Recent files can be one of the sections on the main landing page

User-defined tags can be parsed in search

Sort by Date Published

Howdy Ubooquity Team!

Firstly, I just wanted to thank you for all of your great work! I can't even begin to imagine all the hours and work that have gone into designing Ubooquity...

I was curious if sorting by "Date Published" was something that may be in the works? I currently have my comic books in CBZ format with metadata (scraped from ComicVine) written into the archive itself. Is Ubooquity able to read this metadata and use the date published for sorting?

Open Source Ubooquity

Elouan 8 years ago updated by Pasha Finkelshtein 3 years ago 44

Hi,


I really appreciate your work on ubooquity, and would be eager to collaborate on improving it. you mentionned in a couple of places that you may consider making ubooquity open-source, have you made progress on the idea? There are a lot of features that could be implemented/improved and I'm sure it could go faster if we went collaborative on ubooquity

Improved comics reader

Tom 10 years ago updated 9 years ago 18
Allow options to choose the way images are displayed in the browser ("fit width", "fit height", "original", etc).
Perhaps also allow splitting doubles pages for better display.

Reading two Pages at once...

Ralf Plaschke 9 years ago updated by Tom 8 years ago 10
I love Ubooquity. The online reader is very comfortable and quick, so downloading and syncing is no longer necessary. I really love that. To make my reading experience perfect, i would like to have an option to display 2 following pages at once (or one double page, if it's a wide one), because my widescreen monitor is too wide for fit to width and not high enough for fit to height.

I'd would be perfect to have two pages side by side an do a little up and down scrolling.. or to buy a larger monitor of course... or buy one having a pivot function... sigh... ;)

Web reader full screen

Hayden Jones 9 years ago updated by H8Edge 6 years ago 13
Hi,

Would it be possible to add:

<meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
to the webpage. This will allow mobile devices to display the page in fullscreen.

Thanks,

So, I tried implementing this. Not as easy as it sounds.

Well, for Android it was, the following line did the trick:

<meta name="mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

But for iOS, it's not that simple (as usual). Although there is a configuration that do launch the web browser in fullscreen mode:

<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">

as soon as you click a link you are redirected to Safari.

I tried to change programmatically the location of the page each time a link is clicked (to stay in fullscreen mode), but it broke some parts of Ubooquity.


Bottom line: you'll have fullscreen on Android in the next release but not on iOS.

Feature Request - Include option to display comic issue #

badrobot 10 years ago updated by Tony - 3 years ago 5
Can the issue number be included with the comic book name? Including the issue number below the comic name, will make it easier for users to identify a specific issue since it is not always clear from the image being view

Example - Here the display shows the comic title from the metadata scrapped

Notice here the issue number which was in the file name is no longer displayed. The issue number is in the image, but it is very hard for the users to see issue # from the thumbnail

Image 27

Proposed

Here the user can quickly identify the issue number that they are looking for when browsing comics. They may also prove beneficial in searching large collections

Image 28

Notice while performing a search the user has no idea which issue number they are looking at
