Improved contenLister (with installer)
Hello Developers,
I've assembled an installer for the improved contentLister (with more items on a page).
Happy new year! Hansel. EDIT 6-jan-2009: version 1.0.3. Install scripts no longer get in 'Recent Documents'. In the previous version this caused some Iliads to reboot endlessly. Sources have not changed. EDIT 8-jan-2009: version 1.0.4. Install scripts now accept all firmware versions with 2.12 in it (book edition has 2.12.1) EDIT 21-feb-2009: If you have a modified start-up script, you may have to set-up things manually. See Haven's post further in this thread (post 53) EDIT 23-mar-2009: newLister 1.0.5: Minor update to ease the 'Iliad OS'. No need to upgrade.

Works like a charm. Thanks again Hansel.
Petite question: Is there a way to change the font size? |

Thanks for testing!
Reponse: Oui, on peut! (Yes, we can!) The font magic all happens in newLister.rc (or contentLister.rc for the original contenLister). It has entries like: Code:
style "listItemTitle" { font_name = "Bitstream Vera Sans bold 10" } PS: this is my 100th post; which automatically made me a zealot ... I must say that I preferred my previous title (connoisseur) Last edited by hansel; 01-03-2009 at 03:10 AM. |

Installed to mmc card, did not choose number of items and tapped reboot this resulted in a continuous reboot.
Took out both mmc and cf cards and rebooted no problem. Replaced both cards rebooted no problem chose 12 and rebooted again works superbly a great addition for me. Thanks |

No idea why it kept rebooting the first time?!?! Also, it should have made no difference when you removed the cards: the program is installed to internal memory, and the stuff on the card is only needed to install or change settings. Did you have any modifications in your start script or was it the original one? Could you have a look at the _install.log file (on the mmc, in the installation directory) to see if anything special happened? Thanks for reporting! PS: installing without specifying a number of items should display 12 items on a page (the default) |

PS What's a zealot anyway? wiki's disambiguation page is really ambiguous about it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zealot_(disambiguation) |

Just thought you should know that I'm using hansel's improved contentlister with 12 items per page, and changing the "book" title font to Bitstream Vera Sans 9 (instead of contentlister's default Bitstream Vera Sans bold 10) works great. Title is still visible (and can be larger in word length) and Description benefits from more vertical space inside the cell. I would recommend you this setting in case you're interested.

Thanks a lot!!!!
I have chosen the option of displaying 20 items, and reduce the font size to 7 (non bold) It works great but... the information about each file has disappeared (file weight in KB). Thank you for this wonderful improvement to the iliad. |

Hello Hansel
Start script was default and had never been altered. I described exactly what happened I have had no problems since and I am super satisfied. Have changed listing numbers to try all but have settled on 12. It would appear to be a weird happening but I thought it best to share just in case it occurs to someone else Thanks again log below Quote:

@Thomas, @Napoleon: I disliked the term zealot because I associated it with a extremistic kind of fanaticism... In Wikipedia I found the following. I like it and will proudly wear the title Zealot until it updates itself.

@Dunno: The amount of displayed information (and the layout) depends on the nr of items. This is by design:

If you use the last command 'Reboot' of this tool from ContentLister, then catch you and your Iliad will be rebooting endlessly.
Why? The answer is: You last document/command opened is zz_reboot/run.sh, when the Iliad restarted and the newLister will try to open/run the last command zz_reboot/run.sh. This script will reboot iliad again, so reboot endlessly. The only way to resolve this endless rebooting is to unplug your SD card. If you installed the new ContentLister in Iliad internal memory and you do not install unbrickable tool, unfortunately used the reboot function in the newLister, then your iliad is dead. Suggestion: Please delete the REBOOT function from this tool. Last edited by henryhu; 01-06-2009 at 07:13 AM. |

I still do not understand: why would contenlister execute the last command? Mine doesn't?!?! Any what is happening? I've put a warning in the first mail in this thread, and I'll update the menu soon. henryhu: thanks! Hans. Last edited by hansel; 01-06-2009 at 09:54 AM. |
