Well, it is supposed to open a Window, so there's probably something wrong.
When you launch Ubooquity, it creates a few directories in the folder it's launched from.
One of them (called "logs") contains the log file of Ubooquity. If something went wrong, you'll probably find an error inside.
You can post it here if you need some help.
That's a lot of features. :)
> Swipe gestures for iOS Safari and Android browsers.
Added to the backlog.
> Ability to see all books that you haven't finished reading (your bookmark exists, but you're not on the last page).
Already working on it.
I don't know yet if it will be part of the next release, as I need to finish the new HTML templating system first, but it's coming.
> Keyword searches. All my books are keyword search-able and I'd like to be able to search all the books in my collection for different keywords to determine which to go look at.
Mmm, I 'd have to do some research to know if this is doable easily enough or not.
> LDAP. So that someday this could be used in a large organization.
Ubooquity is home server. It's aimed at personal computers and NAS. ;)
Using it in large organisation would require more than "just" adding LDAP support, and I would have had to use a very different set of tools/libraries to achieve that.
> Ability to make recommendations to other user's.
Like a twitter/facebook "share" button ?
> Ability to label books as a "favorite" for easy tracking of the ones you read the most or like the most (maybe even a rating system that keeps track of each user's rating and averages it).
> Ability to tag books with keywords and make them easily searchable. Also, the ability to create "collections" based on those tags.
> Ability to overwrite book titles or authors in case the metadata in the book isn't perfect.
Ubooquity's focus is on accessing your content, not on organizing it or editing its metadata.
The two main reasons for that being:
- it's easier to guarantee the integrity of your files if I never modify them
- I lack the time to develop these kind of "peripheral" features
So to do all that I would recommend using Calibre (although I know Ubooquity needs improvements when it comes to books grouping, be it by author or series).
It's not really a memory issue, you could load a full comic in memory with only a few gigs if RAM.
The number of pages pre-loaded by Ubooquity in your browser is currently set to 2.
I'll probably add a setting in the future to allow you to increase this number and load a lot more pages.
You can write CBI metadata tour your comic files using tools like ComicTagger.
Thanks for the detailed description. I'll investigate and let you know what I find.
Sorry for the lack of answer, I sometime (often ?) miss messages on this forum.
In my defense the FAQ already has the info:
As for an option in the UI, it makes sense. But it's not high priority for now as it's not a blocking issue.
That's because your browser (Chrome or any other) stores some files in its cache and does not ask them again to the server (Ubooquity) until a certain period expires.
Among them are the CSS files, which determine the layout of the text and images (and chich are changed on Ubooquity side when you configure a different cover size).
A forced page refresh just tells your browser to ask all the files again.That's the expected behaviour.

I noticed it too, but I did not dig any deeper.
If anybody with better web skills than me has an idea to fix this, I'm all ears. :)
