Thanks, I'll try it! I thought this margins are only for the text area and not the headline...

For firmware 3.17.0 in a file .kobo/vlasovsoft/launcher.sh edit this section:

# kill nickel
killall nickel
killall hindenburg
killall fmon

... as follows:

# kill nickel with components
killall sickel
killall nickel
killall hindenburg
killall fmon

Hi

Is there a way to (simply) transfer new books to my Kobo Aura, via usb, without switching back to Kobo Os ?
(would not be a big deal, but if i transfer a lot of books, kobo os, wants to list them all, display their cover etc, which takes an awful lot of time, maybe theres a way to disable this ?)

Thanks

If you use nickel to read there's no alternative.
If you us KSM connect to PC from it: usb>usb enable id like nickel.
In any case if you want to avoid nickel "see" your books, copy they to a directory beginning with a dot, ex: ".Books" to hide it.

Seeing as Cool Reader is open sourced and licensed under the GPL, could you please release the source code for at least that component?

I would like to add the ability to sync between devices to the CoolReader platform, and would prefer to not work from the ground up.

It looks like Sergey never reading this thread anymore.
You should actually go to his own forum (link) and ask there.

@HeWhoWas Device sync is already implemented in koreader---which also runs the coolreader engine. So you could reuse that code or the program.

Hi, HeWhoWas

The sources are published here:

I'd like to set vlasovsoft launcher and coolreader to always default to frontlight level 1 on startup. I want this so that when I turn it on at night it doesn't blind me on startup after having the frontlight on a high level previously during the day.

Is this possible to do? I just recently started using the pbchess package.

Thank you!

Help!
I cannot upgrade past 2015.2 as CR would not work. Other apps installed with it DO WORK (chess...) but not CR. This is with 2015.4, 5, 7.
I tried in various ways, renaming the old vlasovsoft folder, etc...no dice. Cannot launch CR from the menu...or automatically as set in Settings.
Any clue why?

BTW: I have an Aura running 3.15.0. Koreader updated fine to the 2015.11 stable.

/EDIT: looks like I am using KSM v6 and there are changes in the folder structure afterwards...both in KSM and pbchess...but what would one do if he does NOT want to upgrade KSM? Maybe a post for tshering's thread...

[Alan_S]

Yes, there were some changes how CR is started and KSM adopted new way. KSM 8 also is recommended because it solves problem with database corruption for those that use calibre.

Hi there,
I've been trying to increase the space between paragraphs in epubs modifying the cr3.ini (tried increasing every 'margin-bottom' value I've found), but so far no success. I have disabled the inner styles too. I'm using last CoolReader release, 2015_12 in my Kobo Mini. How would be the best way to do it?
Thanks
