Bummer. Thanks @all for restoring it.

It is still missing some download links. It will be better when the ORIGINAL content gets restored. It would be nice if the original HISTORY were also restored.

Is there a patch for having a sort of progress bar like that of k3 on kt.or a patch to have epub support(don't know if the java part controls file support),or doc support,etc

Guess what: if there were such patches, they would most probably be described in the first post.

Actually, no links are really missing, except for the one to the latest hyphenation patch (and the cached page is about 1 week old, i.e. the version numbers are incorrect).

I'm still hoping that DaleDe can restore the page from a backup - I put a lot of work into that page, and roughly the same amount of work would be required to "Wikitize" it again.

I forgot to thank you for all your great work!!!
Keep on working as you create really superb SWs!!!

It would make life for the mods a lot simpler if you would not panic and run about when you think a mistake has been made by a mod, but just report the mistake and wait for action to be taken. (And by wait I mean at least 24 hours.)

If it's a mistake, it will be corrected. It if is not a mistake, there's not a lot you can do about it, as anything you did would just get deleted again.

IF I had only had to undo the deletion it would have taken just a moment. As it was, I had to research the best way to fix things after a new page has been created in place of the old one, and multiple edits made to it, and then do the fix. And, of course, compose this message.

However, I beleive that the page is now restored to what it was before the spam attack happened (which, incidentally, took out several other pages that were restored before you noticed that they'd gone).

I think I've even managed to restore the full page history.

Sorry about that. Next time we can wait longer.

That's not a bug. I explicitly wrote that you need to update (re-download) the localization file.

Had the same behavior with just the english language files. Had it before actually, so I already have a work arround for it.

JBPatch UI>Sync>connect the KT to your PC, delete all .txt files that appeared in the opt/jbpatch folder EXCEPT the main config one (the one that enables disables entire modules)>disconnect the KT, go back into JBPatch UI>Cleanup>then Restart Framework.

All settings of individual modules get lost that way, but restoring them within the JBPatch UI is practically no work.

Yes, that works too (as I also described somewhere), but IMO it's more complicated than simply overwriting the localizations. BTW, if you don't delete the settings files (the .txt files without a locale suffix), then you won't lose settings

notimp · 08-10-2012, 05:48 AM

Yes, but if you dont delete the settings files, changes in settings aren't "sticking". At least they werent two versions ago. I guess because JBPatch UI changes are still been set within the system partitions, but the files on the user partition /opt/jbpatch are "overruling" - and dont get changed, unless you write the settings out again...

Suddenly just copying over the new translation files seems like the better solution.

Just curious: adding hyphenation support for AZW3 books would be hard? No way to inject your classes?

A trivial way to do it would be to add the &shy; entity between syllables before rendering since actually the AZW3 reader handles this entity correctly. Why Lab126 hasn't added a full hyphenation support to AZW3 is a mystery to me... :-\

Even inserting between syllables just before converting an ePub to AZW3 would actually result in book with hyphenation enabled (but this would not have actually nothing to do with JBPatch).

It's not only hard, it's totally impossible with JBPatch.

See this post (and the 3 following posts) for the reasons...

Yes... and that's probably the only way left. But I won't be looking into the format anytime soon, so I'd appreciate it if someone else could work on a solution...

NiLuJe · 08-10-2012, 08:41 AM

@pirl8/ixtab: It's probably easier/neater to implement as a Calibre patch plugged into the conversion/preprocess stage than as a plugin.

Bonus hint: look at src/calibre/ebooks/hyphenate.py and enjoy not having to implement an hyphenation algo in Python

.

I *might* take a look at it at some point, but it might be beyond my meager Python skills, so, if someone wants to jump in, be my guest

.

Speaking of Calibre and hyphenation: Anyone managed to get the JS hyphenation working in the *viewer*, or is that just me?
