BUG: Mac Personal Books

On a system with enough Personal Books that the list is longer than what shows in the pane when Tools/Personal Books is executed:

1. Select Tools/Personal Books.

2. Click on Add book

At this point it should scroll to the bottom where it brought up the new book pane. If one was unfamiliar with this interface they would have no idea that a pane has been brought up for them to start entering information in!

By scrolling to the bottom where the new pane is behavior would be the same as WIndows version

OS X Verbum 6.6 SR-3.

I can't reproduce this in 6.7 Logos or Verbum. In both cases clicking "Add book" properly brought me to the bottom of the list.

How many personal books are on your test system? Make sure you have at least 50.

Out of curiosity, where did the number 50 come from? I have enough so that the list scrolls a fair bit, but not 50.

Thin air. [:P]

Obviously different computers / screens / resolutions will be different. My MacBook has only about half of the number of PB's in view as my iMac at one time, hence the 50 number. You do need to test, however, with larger numbers of PB's. Most users probably don't use the feature at all, but those who do may have MANY more.

just a random datapoint: edition:u yields 308 in my library, and I wasn't around in those days of Libronix PBs, don't do preaching or so and dislike making PBs out of all the pdfs on my machine or elsewhere.

I have 177. I have largely stopped for a number of reasons. Probably the #1 reason: No mobile availability.

I have 300 PBs. So It doesn't scroll to the end where the add pane is opened.
