Change order of display in Book View

Post by nconaty »

Is there a way to change the order books are displayed in Book View.
I've got a lot of books in there, some of which I use frequently as well as books I would like to group by category.
For instance, I don't often use 557 Jazz Standards or Bach Cello Suites, but they are in top row with Tap Here For Help (Which I still use sometimes)
And I'd love to have Bill Evans Book, Metheny Song Book, and my Monk and Mingus books together. Or Latin Real, Brazillian, Choro and Chediak books together.
Thanks in advance,
Neil

This indexes are listed alphabetically and you cannot reorder them, group or place them into categories. You can remove indexes that you aren't going to use using the Content Manager at my.igigbook.com.

Thank you.
Can I change the display title of the books?
Like make the jazz books '1Classic Real Book', '1Jazz LTD'
then, '2Brazillian Jazz Real Book, '2Choro Fakebook'
So they display together?

Also, is the thumbnail display part of the index?
Some of the thumbnails are hard for me to read, so I tried editing the PDF for 557 standards.
Put a much larger 557 at the top and saved it, then synced igigbook, but the thumbnail did not change.
Thank you!

No, you cannot change the names of the indexes that we provide.

The thumbnail comes from the first page of the PDF. When I have my reading glasses on, I have no problem recognizing which thumbnail is "557 Jazz Standards"

Note that you can turn off the setting “Show Book List as Icons” to see the titles without thumbnails. This is clearer for some people. The setting on iOS is found in the system settings interface, along with controls for other useful igigbook features.

I forgot to mention that the thumbnail will not automatically change when you change the PDF as this user has done. You have to unlink the PDF from the index and upon linking it to the index again it will display the newly replaced first page of the PDF.
