rrb008 Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 Hi, I've just had a look at the recommended library structure. This is not any kind of criticism, but I think it would be more sensible if the recommended structure was based on the author rather the book name.

Redshirt Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 You can base your library of off author names. My samples were just meant to punctuate how books can be all in one folder or in individual folders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 For those of you who are bookshelf users, I have a task for myself to support them in the web client. But I need someone to volunteer to do a little leg work to save me some time (and future ui developers who wish to support books). I need someone to contribute to Redshirt's wiki: https://github.com/RedshirtMB/MBBookshelf/wiki/Library-Structure I need a zip file of a sample book library containing free content that includes all of the supported book file extensions, as well as all of the possible metadata files. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he's adopted the convention used by other prominent book organizers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolspot Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) Sorry Luke, my library is about 6gb uncompressed. If I zip it up, I could get it down a bit but it would probably be too big to be feasible However, I do have it syncing to a box.com cloud account I could possibly share to you for a period to take a look It's about 8000 books.

wpbpete Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 scraped all the covers. Do you physically have folder.jpg or folder.png files in each books directory? Thanks, I got it displaying by adding a folder.jpg but, there's only one image in each directory. I used copy/paste and renamed the jpg. Can you recommend a faster way of doing it? I have 1700 books in my library and it's gonna take a while to do them all manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redshirt Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 That's the only way I can think of right now. As the plugin evolves I'd like to eventually extract an image from the book itself. Or grab it from an online source. I actually had that working using Google Books but they wouldn't give me enough downloads per day to make it public for everyone.

JonnyRando Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Hey guys, I have Bookshelf installed as well as comic rack and CDisplay. I have my comic collection in a directory called Comics with each broken up by a sub directory. When viewing the Comic section in MB, I see each folder listed but no cover art, etc is displayed on the folders. When I click on an individual folder (IE: c:\Comics\Kick Ass\), nothing is listed in the folder. I'm sure I don't have setting set right or am missing something simple. Could someone provide some guidance on what I'm missing? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
