View Full Version : Snapshot 20090824 support pdf? wonghyf 08-25-2009, 03:45 AM Does the latest snapshot support pdf? Moe The Cat 08-25-2009, 07:04 AM No, not yet. Dave_S 08-25-2009, 08:11 AM No, not yet. Not only that, but it is still missing the restart and shutdown applications just like the 21 August version. I am hopping back to the 15 August version again. idle 08-25-2009, 08:39 AM From what I've read in the IRC logs today, PDF support should be back in the next snapshot. Dave_S 08-25-2009, 08:46 AM From what I've read in the IRC logs today, PDF support should be back in the next snapshot. Did you notice in the logs if any reason was given for deleting the restart and shutdown applications? idle 08-25-2009, 09:20 AM Did you notice in the logs if any reason was given for deleting the restart and shutdown applications? No I haven't. I haven't even noticed them gone :) Dave_S 08-25-2009, 09:25 AM No I haven't. I haven't even noticed them gone :) Maybe I am the only one here who turns OpenInkpot off to do an update.:rofl: ascherjim 08-25-2009, 11:27 AM Not only that, but it is still missing the restart and shutdown applications just like the 21 August version. I am hopping back to the 15 August version again. Not only are the restart and shutdown applications no longer present, but I don't find that the Bold on-and-off toggle is working for me in the Format directory. However, I am very pleased with the new graphic appearance of this snapshot. dottedmag 08-28-2009, 05:30 PM Shutdown moved to long-press power button. ascherjim 08-30-2009, 11:26 AM Shutdown moved to long-press power button. Has this this feature been implemented in this snapshot (20090824) or will it be in the next snapshot? It doesn't so far work for me. dottedmag 08-30-2009, 11:29 AM Next. Dave_S 08-30-2009, 01:13 PM Next. FWIW, long press powerdown does not appear to work in 20090827 (v3EXT) either. Another "feature" that I noticed in this snapshot is that there are some problems with the GUI menu that has icons and numerical labels in Madshelf. The games icon is labeled with the number 6, but pressing 6 takes you to the setup menu. The Setup icon is labeled with number 8, but pressing 8 takes you back to the linear list for Library, Images, Audio, etc. etc. after a long delay. I see that PDF is working again in this snapshot!!!!!!!!:thanks: dottedmag 08-30-2009, 01:17 PM > The games icon is labeled with the number 6, but pressing 6 takes you to the setup menu. Ticket #425 Sorry for taking so long to add LocoPDF back, it was 5-lines .desktop file missing. Dave_S 08-30-2009, 01:58 PM > The games icon is labeled with the number 6, but pressing 6 takes you to the setup menu. Ticket #425 I see that Ticket #425 is indicated for the N516, but the bug description is wrong for what happens on the Hanlin V3. For the N516 it says that both button 6 and button 8 go to the Setup screen, but that is NOT what happens on the Hanlin V3. On the Hanlin V3 button 8 goes to the linear menu screen after about a 7 second delay. Can I modify Ticket #425 to include the Hanlin V3 behavior or should I open up a new ticket for the Hanlin V3? :thanks: ascherjim 08-30-2009, 01:58 PM Next. Dottedmag: I have snapshot 20090824 installed. I see from Dave_S's posting that there's now a snapshot 20090827 available, which I have now downloaded and attempted to install. As I could not employ the former Shutdown feature, I removed the battery to attempt to accomplish this. I then tried the usual install method, but the version resulting was still listed as 20090824. How do I successfully install 20090827? dottedmag 08-30-2009, 02:00 PM Can I modify Ticket #425 to include the Hanlin V3 behavior or should I open up a new ticket for the Hanlin V3? :thanks: Updated. dottedmag 08-30-2009, 02:01 PM I removed the battery to attempt to accomplish this. I then tried the usual install method, but the version resulting was still listed as 20090824. How do I successfully install 20090827? No idea why it happened. Try 0830 which will be built today. Dave_S 08-30-2009, 02:08 PM As I could not employ the former Shutdown feature, I removed the battery to attempt to accomplish this. I then tried the usual install method, but the version resulting was still listed as 20090824. How do I successfully install 20090827? Wow, that is weird because I had the same shutdown difficulty. I handled it differently, and my setup screen shows OpenInkpot 20090827 (V3ext). What I did was push the reset button and then immediately the + button and the power button, and the bootloader screen came up as usual. Are you absolutely 100% sure that you actually had the correct V3UPDATE.BIN file on your SD card.:smack: ascherjim 08-30-2009, 02:10 PM No idea why it happened. Try 0830 which will be built today. Did finally succeed, removing the battery a second time. Am looking forward to trying 2009830. Many thanks. ascherjim 08-30-2009, 02:19 PM Wow, that is weird because I had the same shutdown difficulty. I handled it differently, and my setup screen shows OpenInkpot 20090827 (V3ext).

Are you absolutely 100% sure that you actually had the correct V3UPDATE.BIN file on your SD card.:smack: Dave: Next time (with 20090830) I'll try your (preferable) reset button method. (Yes, I checked and did have the right .bin, as you will have noted by my eventual success.) Thanks. Dave_S 08-30-2009, 02:30 PM (Yes, I checked and did have the right .bin, as you will have noted by my eventual success.) Thanks. Sorry for my dumb suggestion!!!!!:smack: It worked for me the first time, so I guess that you experienced some sort of fluke. Lbooker 08-30-2009, 08:01 PM Welcome back LoCoPDF! I hope the dictionary lookup with the virtual keyboard comes back soon too. Biggest drawback to LoCoPDF so far (as tested with eht 20090827 snapshot): - when I change some settings (panning and zooming percentages) there are not remembered once I exit the book - no landscape mode - no reflow But reflow is being worked on in the GPL software camp: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20652 http://groups.google.com/group/fbreader/browse_thread/thread/0ec9a54aff0d86eb?hl=en# An mp3 and an ogg file were not seen by this snapshot when exploring the SD-card through the Audio menu. Language selection works fine. I tested French. |
