Node-management

Storing the tree-state of the nodes in the book-list is by design not foolproof. The nodes 'expanded' flag WILL get out of sync with the display from time to time. There are no plans to fix this for now as the foolproof solution would take far too much disk space. This will autocorrect if you tap a row once or twice (or use the "Clear the node state" in the options menu on the bookshelf and styles edit screens.)

Grouping on dates

e.g. on "Year-Read, Month-Read, Author".

If you read 3 books that month, first one by Author A, then one by Author B, then another by Author A, they will show up as:

  • year
    • month
      • A 2
        • title 3
      • B 1
        • title 2
      • A 2
        • title 1

So you get duplicate Author entries each showing the total (2) of books you read that month of that Author. This is due to the sorting on the date-read which includes the day. If you added "Day-Read" to the grouping you would get:

  • year
    • month
      • day 3
        • A 1
          • title 3
      • day 2
        • B 1
          • title 2
      • day 1
        • A 1
          • title 1

So the first list is correct if somewhat confusing. You can either:

  • include the Day group
  • don't read two books by the same Author in the same month (and book(s) from other Authors in between)

Grouping on Series, then on Author

This is a very similar situation to the one above. The books will be sorted on:

  • Series title
  • Series nr
  • Author

Hence, you might find author names repeated. If for example Author A worked on book 1+3 in a series, and Author B worked on book nr 2 in a series, the resulting list would look like this:

  • Series title
    • Author A
      • book nr 1
    • Author B
      • book nr 2
    • Author A
      • book nr 3

The origin of this is the handling of Series and Series-Number as one group. This may be changed in a future version. If you would like this done, log an issue. It's likely quite a bit of work, so please don't ask this on a whim.
