Thank you - Jesper
Hi Jesper, and thank you for your comments. I will take a look at the points you mention - (1) definitely sounds like a bug, and I will look into it, and so does (4). (2) should be reasonably straightforward to fix (as a work-around for now, you can do it manually by opening the first page of the book using the image-viewer, and saving it as a jpeg, then returning to the app main screen, right-clicking the book and editing its details - then tap on the cover image in the 'edit' screen to replace it with your preferred jpeg file). Item (3) is doable, but will need a fair amount of work because of the way that the gesture-recognisers on the reader screen work. Anyhow, I will put it all onto my to do list.
To your final question: Freda on Windows 10 is a C# UWP app; Freda on Android is built with C# and Xamarin. There is also some C++ in there, for managing some funky file-format decompression. The UWP and Xamarin builds share all the same Model and ViewModel code, but the View code is different. My reasons for having two separate builds include: they use different graphics libraries (Win2D vs SkiaSharp); the Windows code has to handle keyboard commands and shortcuts; I built the UWP app first, and couldn't bring myself to discard a load of code that was working already).
I'm in the process of refactoring the app at the moment, with a view to moving it all to a single .Net MAUI build, and getting it to work on the Apple ecosystem as well as Windows and Android. That's a project for the whole of 2021 (and maybe a bit longer than that).
