The metadata/filename mixup problem is indeed exactly the same as the one you have with OPDS.

I'll fix it at some point. Not in the next release, but probably soon after (I'll group all database related modifications in the same release).

Hi,

about #1, if I understand correctly, you would prefer to see directly all your folders (comics and ebooks) on the home page.
This makes sense if you want to stick to a hierarchical directory representation. However you can also choose a "flat" representation of your collection (in the display settings of each section, in the top toolbar). Having everything on the home page doesn't work in that case.

And to be honest, this distinction between comics and ebooks also comes from the way Ubooquity has been developped (ebooks were not part of the initial design). Even if the "flat" display mode did not prevent a common home, changing this would require too much work in regard with the benefits of the modification.

As for #2 and #3: a read/unread flag is in the work and should arrive sometime this year. Once this is done, adding new ways to display information based on this flag would be indeed interesting.

If your mouse buttons act like regular page up/down buttons (I guess they are), yes this will work.

The wheel is already used to scroll the page when the image is higher than the screen height.

When scanning files, Ubooquity iterates over the folders you defined in your preferences. For each file it finds, it adds it to the database (or updates it if the files is already in the database but has changed since the last scan).

Then it removes from the database all the files that it was not able to find during the scan.

There is no point in adding a deletion confirmation as the deleted files are only the ones which in fact do not exists anymore at the place they used to be (for Ubooquity, as for the rest of your computer, the "identity" of a file is its full path).

This means your files were removed from the database because Ubooquity was not able to find them during the scan. This could happen (from the top of my head):

• if you changed the location of your library (If Ubooquity still scans the old location, it won't find anything)
• if your preferences file ("preferences.xml") has been modified of corrupt one way or another. That's where Ubooquity stores the folders it has to scan
• if your library was on a network drive that was unavailable at the time of the scan

For the last case (network drive), a workaround would be to disable autoscan in Ubooquity options and do only manual scans when the network drive is available.

Yes: grep and awk for instance.

No, the folder info feature allows only to add HTML content to a folder page and use resources (like images) located in this folder (accessed through the "[[FOLDER]]" placeholder).

There is no other variable you could use in your HTML.

Your preferences are stored in a files called "preferences.xml" in the working directory of Ubooquity (the directory from which the program is launched, not necessarily the directory containing the jar file).

So either something happened to this file (deleted, corrupted, a change in user permission) or Ubooquity runs in another directory.

By the way, make sure you use version 1.8.2 of Ubooquity. Version 1.8.0 had a bug which might cause the problem you are describing.
