Does anyone know if the patch for 3.15 work on 3.16?

PeterT · 06-11-2015, 04:02 PM

Patches are always release specific.

Actually, my intention was to improve a little on this patch. But it seems I cannot spend much time right now. So here is what I have now.

@tshering
Tried to patch AuraHD after update to 3.15.0 and unfortunately can't get neither dictionary pop-up nor book shelf and top menu to show up in bigger font (despite the fact that I have increased all the fonts for Dragon by another 50%).

Before update I had successfully installed patch for version 3.5.0 which did its job very well. I thought that maybe there are lines missing in patch txt file...

When we did experiments with you last time on the bigger fonts you had extracted quite a big file

Code:

conf_libnickel.so.1.0.0_plus50.txt

(1 054 482 B) which worked perfect for AuraHD.

Is it possible to extract the same for 3.15.0 or perhaps explain how to get it done?

Many thank in advance.

I included all css blocks containing font-size that I was able to find. So I cannot help you with this.

Changing the font size of the dictionary (name=Dictionary) however should definitely work. Did you change the values? Different from most other css blocks, in this case there is only one value for all models (because in the original code, there are no preset values, but the values are dynamically set at runtime). I preset the values as I found them fit for the Touch (or maybe the Glo, I cannot remember). These values will be to small for Aura HD of course. Take care that you change the values in that patch that is enabled (since there are two patches with name=Dictionary).
For the next version I will take a different approach to handle such cases.

You are right it did work just fine. The reason I had the problem was that I 1st applied "bad eyes" patch and then copied two patched files to the source folder of GeoffR's patch which ignores 'nickel' file.

But thanks anyway - your reply did help me in finding the root of the problem.

By the way I noticed that in 'libnickel.so.1.0.0.txt' there are duplicated reference to the same address:
Line 153: position=BCD194
Line 578: position=BCD194

One is disabled anyway - so it doesn't cause any issues.
Thanks for the patch again looking forward for the "new approach".

wikiped, I am glad it worked for you. For an example of how to combine GeoffR's and the bad eyes patch cf. posts #144ff.
