Display more info in 'View Details' modal
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The only info available/displayed in the modal right now is the ID of the book.
Describe the solution you'd like
Why not show more info from the ID3tag? Like publication date, category/genre and info not from ID3tag but still useful - date added to the library, number of times listened to/number of users who listened to the book, server folder name, tags, etc.
Describe alternatives you've considered
NA
Additional context
App version: Android / 0.9.49-beta
Also, as you can see, the ID is not displayed in full (it's cut off because of screen width). Maybe wrapping or reducing font size can help.
Also, I don't know why would a user need to see the complex ID of the book, but if there are people who use this then why not have a 'copy' button to allow them to easily copy it to share (for whatever reason).
But if it's not something that anyone uses, you can make the modal more user-friendly by hiding it and showing it only if the user clicks a button 'show book ID' that is a button in the top right corner of the modal or at the bottom after useful/needful info is shown (as requested above).
That modal was just never finished. I wasn't sure about a good design for that.
Happens. :)
Hopefully, you'll have some ideas soon. Until then (even if it is a plainly designed one), just having things like publisher, published date (and if part of a series, series name) would be a good start.
I too would love to see more info on this modal. Interestingly enough, the publication date is what I would like to see here most, but that is not likely to be the most important metadata for others.... I only ever do back-end development, and am as far from a front-end / UI designer as possible, but I'd be willing to setup a dev environment to play with options for this. If I have any success, I'll do a pull request, if I think it's good enough to benefit others.
