Im still not finding the add book function despite it being added any suggestions?

It should be in the menu - I've not added it to the toolbar though.

thanks library not crashing or hanging upon book selection now.

looking at the menu that starts with book info and ends with preferences...how about if that menu which includes toc and library could be accessed from a button from within a book? that way if there were options to open books the library and toc in full screen, one could have access to books toc and library without having to ever go to full screen.

I know for some who use fbreader to just read a book straight through the current function of fbreader may be sufficent. But for anyone trying to learn from technical books (I use fbreader with my oreilly.com books), constantly minimizing/maximizing while book hopping or toc hopping is a major pain (just like I am)...thanks for listening, and of course books toc and lib in default full screen with an option to easily access the main menu would only be options not defaults...

Version 0.12.10-14 now uploaded. The changes are:

• Touch scrolling works in library now
• Added popup menu
• Popup menu and/or toolbar can be disabled

The popup menu is currently fixed in a landscape orientation - there's no straightforward way to change this in GTK (I'll need to write a new menu implementation - I'll look into this, but I can't promise anything). It's timed to pop up after 0.5 seconds stylus/finger press, and has a tolerance for how far the stylus/finger can move in this time. This may make it difficult to use with the finger, as this seems to register quite a range of movement even while held still. Both the hold time and the movement tolerance setting are configurable, but haven't been added to the config dialog yet (you should be able to edit the ~/.FBReader/options.xml file and add either MovementTolerance (in pixels, default 5) or LongPressTime (in ms, default 500) options to the TapScrolling section).

I'll be uploading a Diablo version as well, but I'm still trying to get to the bottom of a segfault when loading books there. Unfortunately I can't find a working debugger - I'm going to try rebuilding the fremantle version of gdb next.

The source code changes are available from here.

Robin, could you coordinate with danny.milo@gmail.com.nospam (minus the nospam)? He's got a version based on 0.14 which doesn't crash. See his website for his changes and debs for both n800 and n900.

Thanks works fine without stylus, if you can force portrait this will be better but you have really increased the usability of this app by leaps and bounds. I bought this device really only to have a command line in my pocket and an ability to keep my tech books inmy pocket. your help has really made this device fulfill its potential to me

oh btw finger scroll in library seems to be reversed.....is that a "feature"? (:

also a close application option fom the great little pop up menu so you could close without having to go full screen (one less step right?).

AFAIK (based on studying FBReader website), version 0.14 does not exist. 0.12 is the latest version. I have absolutely no idea where Danny Milo got his "0.14" or what it was.

FBReader is my second most important software on the N900. Awesome Software and I like recent developments. What I am missing is the display of the time and page position, that was there in previous versions. Is that optional now and I am too dumb to find the switch. If it is gone, then can it come back please? I like being able to read a book in a train and checking the time without having to leave the full screen book display. The time display as before never disturbed me.
