Great work, Paul! A lovely 'single-click' app. Well, I'm not counting
picking any of the options as clicks!
I've not had hang-ups with the version I downloaded a couple of hours
ago, and I like letting the app find the LMS server. The search took
only six seconds. My library currently has >47k tracks on c3200 albums.
After the library scan is done, spooling out an HTML file takes only a
second. I've set the font size to '10' which displays nicely on my
phone.

Some icing on the cake would be to display a blank cell instead of the
same text as the preceding cell, that would clean up the 'Artist'
display a bit by showing the artist name only once.
A further improvement for me would be to sort in the order that LMS
uses, which takes into account the user preferences set for words like
'The', 'El' and so on. (My clunky way of generating a list used the
SQLite database linkage "ORDER BY contributors.namesort")

Finally (for now): When the mouse hovers over both "Add Album Art" and
"Album list", "Select to automatically open the pdf" pops up. The option
for 'Album list' might be clearer for users if the pop up explained that
this option lists only the album, without its tracks.

Once more - absolutely wonderful stuff! Big socially-distanced pats on
the back for you :-)
