A great suggestion from Nate, turns out to be a great convenience to ALL ebookwise 1150 users (and the few REB1200 users here).

Enjoy and pass this info onto a friend... Native .imp downloading and now .prc download as well! WOW, wow, wow....
p.s. I also include BELOW updated versions of the AdjustSmallestFont.py for each reader (EBW1150 and REB1200). |
This is fantastic!
done by nrapallo ... looks like my evil plan to get more people involved via plugins is beginning to bear fruits
As of now, we have 3 (count them, 3) plugins written by nrapallo: AdjustHtmlSize, PrcConverter, and an unreleased AdjustImageSize which reduces the image size for saving low-memory situations on the 1150.
I've got some new infrastructure enhancements planned in impserve which I plan to implement after this weekend [till which I'm busy in real life]:
- add support for ebook detection in impserve
- serve only relevant [i.e. 1150/1200] IMPs in book list using ebook detection
- allow the plugins to access which ebook is currently detected
- refactor the plugin system so that a plugin can take over the whole request and redo the current "local" processing in terms of that
- verify working of plugins in the win32 binary distribution
One more idea which I've had for a plugin is to insert a special link on all pages and on clicking it would go to a server page allowing one to create an IMP consisting of all the pages read till then, and name the book. The use-case would be simple: say you're reading a article on the net [or a series of articles], you "save" them one-by-one and when you're finished, click on generate and presto! you have a ready-made IMP which contains everything you just read till now for offline reading [admittedly, this one would be a much more complex plugin].
