The Libraries List pane has the following parts:

The Libraries List

The Libraries list is displayed in the left pane of the base Memento desktop window. Like the window title & tool bars, it is always present. Its content includes:

  • library groups — that display as folders — and libraries. When a group contains libraries, a dropdown button appears, allowing users to click to make the group the current group and view the libraries within it.
  • Libaries shared with the user
  • Public libraries
  • A search function
  • A list of the user's templates in the Online Template Catalog

v=== Text below is TO BE DONE (TBD) ===v
A list of the Libraries in the current library group is displayed. The Group can be selected by panning left or right or by selecting the group from the Group/Main Menu.

Library Tiles & Icons

Touching an icon or tile opens the library. Each tile has a Library Menu and possibly also an Add Entry Menu.

Icons or tiles may be moved (reordered) within the group by dragging.

The Action Menu

Touching the 3-dot icon in the upper-right corner of the screen opens the Action Menu, allowing the user to perform one of the following actions:

Add Library
Opens the Library Edit screen for a new library in the current group
Add Group
Accepts the name of a new group and adds a new group with that name
Open by URL
Accepts a library name at http://libs.mobi/ and opens that library
Rename Group
Presents the name of the current group, allowing the user to alter that name, and accepts the new name as the name of the current group
View
Allows selection of the desired Library List view. The available views are: Large Tile view, Small Tile view, and Icons view

The Group/Main Menu

Touching the 3-line menu in the upper-left corner of the screen opens the Group/Main Menu, which allows selection of the Group to be displayed. The developer occasionally refers to this menu as the slide menu. Some people like to call the 3-line icon a hamburger icon and thus the menu as the hamburger menu.

Below the list of groups, the following menu items are displayed:

Favorites
Show an Entries list of entries marked as Favorites across all libraries
History
Show an Entries list of entries across all libraries updated in History
Recycle Bin
