[Kindle] Unified Application Launcher. KUAL

[twobob]

SORT BY "123" by priority, group priority first then action priority within group

[twobob]

SORT BY "ABC": lexicographic by group and by action name, same name groups coalesce

[twobob]

Now SORT BY "abc" lexicographic by group, names within each group do not move

[twobob]

So to recap IN THE 0.4 VERSION:

we now have for sorting options:

sorting by group name; applies to -f=twolevel only. Summary of sort options
. abc lexicographic by group, names within each group do not move
. ABC lexicographic by group and by action name, same name groups coalesce
. 123 by priority, group priority first then action priority within group
(and lexicographic by group name within each priority tier)

We now have a QUIT button

And a REPLACE STORE BUTTON

Good progress.


FURTHER TESTING TO BE DONE
Will repeat that on a lower device... In the morning.. very happy though
Will do some tweaking in the KUAL.cfg also and possibly break the formatting a bit on purpose...
@stepk: Thoughts on the testing appreciated - anything I missed?

FINAL POINTS ON THE (FORTHCOMING) "SYSTEM" extension...

The upcoming /mnt/us/extensions/system is looking more like a reality now...

did some LONG testing and fiddling with KNC1 and it looks like we shall have BASH, LUA, PYTHON, etc etc.. and a whole RAFT of languages and modules available - by default - for all devices very soon now. we tested LUA via binfmt_misc and it worked beautifully. So that MIGHT make it in... probably not quite in time for this release though.

HAPPY!!!!!!

thanks everyone for your time.

Check everything about your re-charging situation (cable, connectors, port and/or wall charger) and then re-charge for at least 20 hours.

The "at least 20 hours" is because that is the default charge curve.

Tried. Fully charged. Still disappears. Also my recent list isn't being updated.

Great! Your screenies show that this version passed all tests on KT (or was it PW?).

Here is KUAL (WITH A BROKEN CONFIG FILE) so it FAILS-OVER to defaults...

Like you said, users upgrading will not get this error message.

OK. This is the same as #483.

OK. Of course the end result depends on the actual "priority" field value in each menu.json file. Picture 6 shows that you moved the Komic reader (or was it HUL? I can't remember) near the end of the list, and proves the point. Priority order was a user request. Priority is a numeric value, including negative numbers, default 0.

OK. Notice the "HELPER Landscape" has moved inside the Helper group in picture 6 vs. Picture 3 of #480/#483.

This is the default, like #480.

Great testing and screenies, very helpful. Nothing to add. Thanks!

I can't wait! Thanks knc1 and twobob, you're breaking ground!
Note for KUAL devs: the parser script is strictly for /bin/ash, and so is each "action" field command LINE (if the action calls a bash script as an executable make sure to add the appropriate shebang).

Okay... Question:

Is this the only kindlet you have?

There is nothing in the code that is even related to time..
(why would there be?)

And since you say it disappears after 5 minutes EVERY TIME I have to wonder if this is to do with something completely different.

I'l write you a "EXPORT MY BATTERY LIFE TO A REPORT" button today.
Perhaps that will show something.

Okay?

Hello
Is is possible on the future to implement something like lynx browser for Kindle.

It is a very fast text based web browser, which could be very usefull for fast searches...

Please supply feedback to this proposition.

I seem to recall that we built that for the Kindle already - -
Try a very good search of this forum.

hmmm... I think I have one of those already.. will dig it up.

EDIT: Ah yeah.. found it... will try mangling it into KTERM for now..
err... oh no I wont... you have a kindle keyboard...

Hmm... thinking... in the interim I will attach the files.

Niluje did a BETTER ONE somewhere's if I find it I will swap this out for that.
we could REALLY DO WITH KTERM on the 3... (hint hint baf )


EDIT: yeah... Niluje REALLY did make a "better" one... it's out there somewhere.
or you can use this. Mine doesn't care where it lives, his is a USBNET extension.
