how to remove pdf books from library?

on Mac OS Ventura 13.0.1

I believe that feature cool because when I remove, add or update files in a directory added by csBooks, a library refresh content, maintain library content up-to-date.

Request:

Allow to download EXE for those who dont have Microsoft Store.

It also seems that your application has few options to configure the layout of the pages. That is, paragraph spacing, page border spacing, font type. etc. Ereader does this very well, you could use that app to implement similar options. I leave you photos of how you work on that app.

hey,
Awesome program,
can you please fix the problem with Hebrew?
when im open a pdf file from the program the Hebrew shown as gibberish.
thanks.

Great job with previous feature request!

I have another one: when you are in a main window and all books are closed put the search option and suboptions that we can choose what to search: i want to be able to search through all the books in the library for the text inside of all books and in result i want that is shown name of the book, you can also put the cover in the search result, and to show me text and if i click on that text it brings me directly to that text in the book, also i want to search through all the saved comments and also search only for the annotations if i choose to only search for the annotations. If search all option is clicked than in search results show in which book is that text and show me if that's the highlight, comment or just plain text.

1. Open csbooks
2. using a mouse with a forward and backwards button, press back
3. csbooks goes into a loading screen and never loads.

i would like to suggest a very important features for every reader, features that are on iBooks on iPad, iPhone, macos, and kindle, highlight the text, and make the comment about highlighted text and option that we can export highlights and comments into the text file.

These are a very important features when you reading a book.

Hello, since the last version of csBooks (4.3.0), every page of epubs I read is truncated. I can't read the lower part. I tried increasing and decreasing the font size but the result is still the same.

I don't know if someone else has encounter the same issue.

Just tried to install this excellent book manager/reader under Manjaro using the builtin package manager and it unfortunately fails. Haven't investigated it any further what exactly is the cause, but I suspect the path to the GitHub download is just wrong and points to nowhere. Keep up your good work on this one.

I just installed it by downloading the pacman package provided here and doing something like sudo pacman -U ./csBooks-7.5.0.pacman. Then it works flawlessly.

Please add the option to make folders to store books in, it would make it easier to manage the books.

If you can implement sort in collections will be really nice.
Also the sort seems to have some bugs.
Maybe think more about handle multiple files.

In general, good work, I like the application.
Keep up with the work

allow changing the background color of the pdf. Most book readers can't, but the perfect PDF reader software can. If you want you can review it, it's in the microsoft store.

I bought an app from the windows store. Yes i have paid for it !! At first it works rightly but now, id ont know why, I am not able to run it properly ( on Win10 and Win 11 ) because it hangs at the "Generatig Book Thumbnails"

Auto save book progress and open the page where reader left off.

Very good application. I have been testing many apps to read books on PC and I have some ideas that I think would make csBook the best app to read books.

It would be great if they let you view the books separated by folders within the app. Kind of like the Cover app. This would help people who have a series that contains many books and we have them organized in the archives.

They could also add list and grid views by collections, folders, tags, etc.

This looks really cool. I just installed it on my other KDE neon laptop, and after launching it for the first time and selecting my EBooks folder, I saw this error:

This is my system:

Operating System: KDE neon 5.20
KDE Plasma Version: 5.20.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.76.0
Qt Version: 5.15.1
Kernel Version: 5.4.0-56-generic
OS Type: 64-bit

Hi!
I've just realized every time I export annotations to a .txt file, once I open the file, annotations appear at a random order or at least not the order in which the text appeared in the original file (still great feature btw, it brought me to your app)
Out of that, I love the app.

My collection are names of authors and I've reached the bottom/the very end. Please include scrolling function in left view.

Add
Single page view.
Scrolling vertically,
Double page view

Hi, it's seems impossible to read files from removable-media or other partitions with ubuntu version.
I try to see which plugs are available for csBooks but I din't find "media" or "removable-media" to use with the "snap connect" command.
There is some other tricks or can you fix this?
Thanks Gianpiero.

Hi!

I just bought your product and I really like it! I just wanted to be comfortable using my books in e-pub form, and you are providing that with really great quality, great! I am grateful for that.
The only problem is that the pages are shifted. I mean, for example, I have more than 10 books in English on the left and Turkish on the right page. So, I can compare the words on the left side of my books with those on the right. However, in your application, the pages are not displayed as left and right, but one page ahead. Please let me explain with photo:
Must be like this:
https://www.turengkitap.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/turkce-cevirili-ingilizce-hikaye.jpg

But its pages look like this on app:
https://imgur.com/a/16Fy4Az

Even-numbered pages should be on the left, odd-numbered pages should be on the right. But this is not the case unfortunately.

How can I fix this? I must move the even-numbered pages to the left, or delete a page from the book. Please help me

Regards,
Berk T.

It isn’t enough to create a snap version. The majority of distributions support Flatpak, but Snap is pretty much only Ubuntu and derivatives.

Another thing that I think would be great is that they allow more file formats, like cbr. I have tons of comics and I have to use another app to see them. It would be great to be able to use your app to see all the readings.

After doing snap run csbooks for its first run and it asking me to import my library, I did so and then I noticed that the memory was being gobbled up and my machine started to not be responsive. Then csbooks terminated with this message at the console:

fish: “snap run csbooks” terminated by signal SIGKILL (Forced quit)

So it looks like the snap daemon noticed it was taking all of the system memory and killed it.

Here's my system monitor:

Notice that impressive memory rollercoaster curve.

I have a 8GB machine, so resources can get exhausted pretty quickly.

Hello @caesiumstudio,

The dark mode feature to read a book has disappeared, even Ctrl + n doesn't work anymore.

I'm using Ubuntu 20.04.1.
