Komic, a Kindle comic reader

[MaxStirner]

Probably stupid question but I can not figure out the solution - I have a scanned jpg. Zooming works well and focuses on top left corner. I'm also able to slide down - but how on earth am I soppose to go to the right side of the zoomed page? Horizontal swipe right or left produses a pop up "you're on the last page.." every time. Btw do I have to "de-zoom" to move from page to page? Page counting does not work well strangely showing for example 0/1 or even 13/1 while in reality there are only two testing files (two pages). It looks as if zooming levels are counted as pages (?)
Paperwhite 5.3.6

Version 2.2 - extracted from installer.
menu.json:

{
"items": [
{
"name": "Komic v2.2",
"priority": 2,
"items": [
{"name": "Run Komic", "priority": 0, "action": "bin/resource/Scripts/start.sh"}
]
}
]
}

Looks okay to me.

and the line endings?

silver18 had some problems with that in his development setup in the past.

[twobob]

If you use either the zoom buttons or the "change image size" option, you can double tap on the screen to show 4 arrows.
Use those arrows to move inside the image.
As regards the page counting, could you please pack those image and send me the pack to check myself the problem?
Thanks!!

I still have this problem, I always forget to check if the line endings are fine.
BTW, that menu *should* be OK!

Ok, "power swiping" and calibration now works in every direction (well, not along the third dimension).
It's pretty easy now to navigate inside a page.
I could remove the arrows...

I tried the jQuery Ui draggable plugin...i still find my solution better (faster).

BTW, here's a call to arms: I can't get the damn pinch-to-zoom back!
I'm stuck with the stock amazon pinch-to-zoom feature and I can't write a custom function to mock it.
It seems I need to use a content window and enable the pinch-to-zoom on it but I really can't get it to work!

Another thing is the unload event.
Amazon API is a wrapper around

kindle.appmgr.onunload

but this doesn't fire at all when using the home button on the Kindle touch.

I don't care about the PW as it doesn't have any physical button so users will use the EXIT button. But on the Touch, I can't provide an autosave feature without the onunload event!
I just need to write inside the localStorage before leaving...

On a side note, I rewrote the exit function to actually close komic (instead of start the com.lab126.home) and clean (aka kill) any komic-related process.

[silver18]

Ok, so...
It seems the onpause event gets triggered and my callback function called BUT....
In this function I need to update a localStorage entry but this isn't executed.
I think the localStorage access takes too much time so it is executed but never completed...
I can save everything only using an alert to block javascript...
Any clue?

I just wonder whether you guys could remove the black status bar at the top of the screen while reading? -I mean It would be fantastic if the program has a real full-screen reading feature

[silver18]

It's already done and will be present in Komic 2.3 (stable version).
Just wait enough time...

First of all, thanks for this wonderful Comic Reader silver18.
I’ve a problem since I’ve updated KUAL to version 2.2. I’m using Komic 2.3 beta and the OS version is 5.3.4. After I did the KUAL update, the Komic entry in the menu is missing.
Everything else like JBPatch, Koreader or kterm works exactly as before. Even a reinstallation didn’t help. Does someone experienced the same issue and found a solution?

[NiLuJe]

@Cyberratchet: Does the KUAL menu complains about a parsing error somewhere?

[Cyberratchet]

Unfortunately not. Is there a log file for KUAL?

[NiLuJe]

@Cyberratchet: Yes, and a way to access it should pop up in the KUAL menu in case something warrants it (hence my previous question).

You mentioned kterm, so you could use that to read it:

cat /var/tmp/KUAL.log

There’s only an issue with the backdoorlock/menu.json file.

The following snippets are from the Komic folder in the extensions-folder. I’ll look into the access rights for all extensions, maybe there’s an error?
