[FM Discuss] preview fixed

[James Simmons]

Adam,

The Insert Image and Attachment files are sorted.  Looks good!

The only other thing I can remember is that in my installations at
home if I import a book from the Internet Archive then attempt to
generate an EPUB from it that EPUB is invalid.  I heard that the
problem was already fixed but doing a GIT PULL didn't get me any new
code.  I don't know that this is currently a problem with the
production Booki install.

It looks like 600 px wide images are shown properly now.  They do
cause the editor to have a slight amount of horizontal scrolling, so
maybe the editor window could be made just a bit wider.  What we have
is tolerable, though.

In addition to a proper Booki install script I'm interested in the
non-FM Booki.  I have a couple of projects I'd like to do there that
I'm currently using my home Booki for.  One is a proofed and corrected
EPUB for Thirteen Women, a novel I scanned and donated to the Internet
Archive.  I want to see how well that process works.  The second is a
community translation from French to English of a Jules Verne novel
done using the same method that was used to translate "Make Your Own
Sugar Activities!" into Spanish.

I'm also using Booki at home to write a book I plan to actually sell,
and at work I want to use it to organize our application framework
articles into actual books that we can give to overseas developers.
Anything I learn from these experiences will go into my FM E-Book
Enlightenment, plus there could be some blog posts.

You could say I'm a big fan of the software.
