hi!

I have been using Alexandria for a while and made a little wishlist.

WISHLIST:

Same functionalities of Amarok to mp3, to books on Alexandria:
   Toggle checkboxs directly on list
   "Edit tag 'Authors'..." (for example) on context menu when
righ-clicing a book on the list
   Next and Previews buttons on Properties box, to move...
   Statistics and Labels tabs and functionalities
Export/Import to ISO 2709 Format using MARC 21 bibliographic format,
Using UTF-8, Latin1, or any other coding.
Import also the Synopsis of the book, is the field 520 of MARC 21.
Import from a TXT with a set of ISBNs
Import using z39.50 when Amazon, WorldCat... doesn't works (like ILSs like Koha)
Why if I enter to the link web I can see the cover, but it doesn't
download it when fetching data?
Clic on cover image (on Properties box) should let:
   Save the image
   Set url or path of the image (not only path, locally)
   If it doesn't found it on Amazon and those: Offer a set of covers
using Google Images
Possibility to create different notes:
   Unknown words (It would be awesome that it search automatically the
meaning/translation, detecting automatically (or not) the language,
for eg using WorldReference.com).
   Things to search about
   Remarkable quotes.
   Related URLs, Books, Movies
Link to biography of the author on Wikipedia (look for Context sidebar
on Amarok for inspiration) using embedded browser
Different color for odd lines on List view
Checkbook on "Add book..." to not to close the dialog box, to quickly
add another book (with ISBN or anything else).
