3.1.8b is an experimental test release intended for a specific small audience. I explicitly asked that no one list this version on sites such as VT, but it seems that someone has reading comprehension problems. If you're a new user to Books, I recommend using 3.1.7 until the official release of 3.1.8 is ready.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Works great!

I was looking for a replacement after entering a lot of books into library thing and suddenly stumbling upon the books limit. So I tried books, imported by librarything list into it, and used the batch quickfill visible items. And it worked very well! Great job!
I would also like to know if the application respects proxy settings when contacting sources for quickfill information - and I would like to know the precise addresses it is using to do so.
I note that the project page on Sourceforge has not been updated for sometime and that there is no obvious link to a source release of the current version (as opposed to source from the svn repository). I tend to rely on Sourceforge's emailed notices about updates to projects and I (sometimes) like to see and/or compile the source.
This looks like a very promising application, but it is not quite as transparent as I would like - especially for an application that is going to be "calling out" a lot.
