= Bugs and Shortcomings There are a couple of well known, long-standing issues with Alexandria. These issues will, hopefully, be addressed in upcoming releases. There are also specific bugs tracked on RubyForge: <http://rubyforge.org/tracker/?group_id=205> == Icon Display Spacing While the list view of books is naturally neat, the default icon view suffers from problematic icon spacing; often the book covers appear to be randomly scattered. They cannot even be adjusted afterwards. This is just an aesthetic concern, but a frustrating one. It is probable that this is due to inconsistent use of the GTK+ thread dispatcher is at the root of these problems. Hopefully future development can clean up the code in this regard. == Multiple Copies of Books The limited expressiveness of Alexandria's domain model means that it is not possible to keep a record of more than one copy of a given book in a single library. == Large Collections The user-interface becomes slow and unresponsive when dealing with libraries over about 100 books. This is quite a low threshold on scalability. The simple solution is to make a couple of new libraries to hold a hundred books each; a common approach is to split them up according to broad subject area.
