The release of the MyLibrary 5.0 home library cataloger has taken place. The program code is written in C++ and is available (GitHub, GitFlic) under the GPLv3 license. The user interface is implemented using the Qt6 library. The program is adapted to work on Linux and Windows operating systems. For Arch Linux users, a build script for a ready package is available in AUR. An experimental installer is available for Windows users. <\/p>\n

MyLibrary catalogs book files in fb2, epub, pdf, djvu, odt, txt, md formats, both accessible directly and packed in archives (zip, 7z, jar, cpio, iso, tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, rar), and creates its own database without altering the original files or changing their locations. The fbd format (book file packed in an archive along with a file with an fbd extension containing a description tag in fb2 format) is also available for cataloging. Any files can be stored in the fbd format, not just books. Integrity checking of the collection and its changes is performed by creating a database of file and archive hash sums. <\/p>\n

The program implements book searching based on various criteria (author's last name, first name, patronymic, book title, series, genre) and reading through the program set as default in the system for opening the corresponding file formats. When selecting a book, a synopsis and cover are displayed if available. Support is provided for displaying the list of files in the collection; the list of books in a specific file; the list of authors in the collection; and the list of books for which the user has created notes. <\/p>\n

Various operations are possible with the collection: updating (a check of the entire collection and verification of checksums of available files is carried out), fast updating (file sizes are compared), exporting and importing the collection database, adding books to the collection and removing books from the collection, adding folders with books to the collection, adding archives with books to the collection, copying collection books to any folder. Manual editing of book records in the database is available. A bookmarking mechanism for quick access to books has been created. There is a feature for creating user notes for books. An interface for creating and connecting plugins is available. <\/p>\n

MyLibrary can work with collections located on external server<\/a> (the relevant folders and files must be accessible via the SMB protocol and mounted on the local computer using gvfs, kio-fuse, or their equivalents). <\/p>\n
