FR: Flat/Library view
I would love to see a browsing experience on KOReader similar to that of Nickel. One that takes full advantage of file metadata.  **Desired features** Ideally, this interface would allow the user to: - Browse all on-device files in a single list - Browse by author - Browse by book series - Browse by Calibre tags - Browse user-defined collections - Filter by file format - Filter by reading status **Why the file browser is insufficient** At present, the Cover Mosaic view in the file manager is the closest we can get to such an experience, but it has its shortcomings: - It can sort books by read status, file type, etc, but it can't filter out on that same criteria - KOReader can search for Calibre defined metadata like author, but it's not possible to browse - The only way to get a complete, browsable list of all files is if they're all located in the same directory. The only way to get a browsable list of all authors is if files are already sorted into the corresponding author's folder. These are mutually exclusive. - The "History" view allows the user to browse a list of recently opened files regardless of their location on the device. The problem with this is it the user must have already opened the file. The window also takes up the whole screen and must be closed in order to access the top bar. **Limitations of this feature** - This feature would require index
