Ticket #454 "Ability to choose default handler for each supported file format" appears to indicate that the issue was closed as fixed in MadShelf 0.2.36 ? Looking through the OpenInkpot system directories, it appears that CoolReader 3 is in the build, but I could not find a way to select it. The User Guide documents CoolREader but does not say how to invoke it, so I just assumed it would be with the MadShelf file context menu. Has anyone found out how to get CoolReader to open the file types that it supports? ]]> OpenInkpot Dave_S http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=62360 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61984&goto=newpost Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:31:49 GMT Does anyone want to consider adding TomeRaider to the plethora of apps that run under OI?

I'm using the OpenInkpot 20091103 snapshot on my BeBook (Hanlin v3ext). I tried using the "hyperlink navigation mode" in an epub-file, but it doesn't seem to work.
When I press 8, the first hyperlink gets highlighted, and I can switch to the next links by using the arrow keys.
However, I can't follow a link, since pressing 8 again just exits the "hyperlink navigation mode". Pressing OK while a link is selected does nothing.

Any ideas on this? ]]> OpenInkpot AlfonsVH http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61325 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=61181&goto=newpost Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:15:25 GMT Hi,

Just upgraded to windows 7 and now I can't get WinSCP to work.

The page in the OI user guide that gave the instructions doesn't appear to be working at the moment either.

So can anyone give me some ideas?

I have just bought a Hanliv V3 and installed OpenInkpot on the device. Seems to work fine. But when I connect the device to my PC with a USB cable the LED in the upper red corner is red. I assume it should be yellow or green?? It does not connect and the OS reports it can't find drivers for the device. It doesn't ask whether to continue charging the battery or connect instead. It worked fine with the original firmware. Is this an error or what?

I have tried searching the fora, but i have not found anything helping me with this.

Anybody??

Cheers

Kovid helped me get the TOC how I wanted it looking i.e.

Title of Story
Chapter
Title of Story

which is showing up great in Calibre reader.

On my Hanlin and the desktop fbreader only the title of the last story is showing (it used to be only the last chapter of the last story).

Is this a limitation in fbreader? ]]> OpenInkpot Soxendom http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60676 http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60496&goto=newpost Mon, 26 Oct 2009 22:54:15 GMT Hi
I don't know if this is right place to post this basically i have bricked my elonex eb600 within 4hrs of owning it (dumb) without backing up firmware (downright idiotic!!):smack:. Basically i tried to install cool-er firmware on my elonex following these instructions http://www.coolreaders.com/fw.asp. My guess is that it ran the script below. The image 01.jpg is displayed maybe forever on my e-ink display. My guess is the hardware is different (has epson and serial boot flash) and have added what i have found out to openinkpot wiki. I hope that uboot is still working and will try serial when i get max3232cpe device tomorrow if not try jtag.
The problem is that i haven't got a copy of the original uboot , kernel or filesystem does anyone have a copy.

Thanks tony

Since flashing to the rc-3 firmware onto my BeBook I've noticed the page numbering doesn't work properly. Here's the things I've noticed.

1: The total number of pages doesn't seem right. For example a 491 page mmpb shows up as 265 pages on my BeBook. In the past every ebook I have read has had more "pages" than the pbook version.
2: The total number of pages doesn't change regardless of font size.
3: The page number doesn't always advance when I turn the page. In fact it almost always takes two page turns before the page number advances, however sometimes it will change after just one page turn.

These problems happen in both epub and fb2 formats.

Has anyone else experienced these problems?
