Having the PRS505 I find the 3 zoom sizes insufficient in some cases. I'd like the 5 availabale to some of the newer readers. Now I've installed your folders view I'm quite happy with most of the rest as we are ignoring font functionality.

I've been watching this thread with interest. I also would love more than 3 font sizes.
Also, just a question... why start an enhanced version, why not help get OpenInkpot working on a PRS505? Just curious. I think the Sony Interface is fairly good I just like the idea of replacing the firmware with an open one. |

The font sizes decision is done by the viewer, js code just checks how many steps of font scaling it supports. Setting values outside its range has no effect.
just_jeepin OpenInkPot development for PRS505 is stalled (even though one or 2 devices were donated to devs) and further development requires quite in-depth linux kernel/driver knowledge, which I lack. Besides, I like the existing interface and I already found ways to accomplish all goals I had and even those that I hadn't. |

key binding
Wow. I just stumbled on this post.
Nice ideas. I'm reading that we'll be able to bind certain keys to specific actions. One thing I would love is the ability to control the mp3 player while reading. Most importantly a "next track" button would be awesome. Alternatively, any way to play tracks in random mode? :) thanks for your work! cyth |

I just wanted to thank everyone who contributed to this kit. I managed to get this up and running on my PRS-505, and using folders has made my reader a lot easier to use.
Thank you. |

Sorry for not being techincal enough...can you elaborate on exactly where the "root" of the reader is? Not sure where to copy all of the files from Kartu. |

The root is the highest level directory you can access.
It is the one in which all the subfolders are listed. For instance in PC terms it would be c:\ for the Sony it will be whatever drive it mounts as, eg: d:\ from where you will probably find several sub-folders listed such as Music, eBooks etc. Note it is the Sony itself and NOT the SD card |

What pthwaite said. By the way, you should also copy the kbookIcon.png file (located, if I remember correctly, /opt/sony/ebook/application/resources/scripts), to get new icons like "Folder" and "Game", but it's an optional step.
cythraul Doable, but probably not in the first release. |

One thing I would like is the ability to have true bold and true italics in the BBeB viewer. Is this possible?
Also could someone please post a version or PRSCustomizer with all these nice features added in? |

2) PRSCustomizer's author states that his program is GNU PLed, yet I cannot find the sources. I might end up writing small java web start "customizer" for stuff that is not doable by scripts alone, like startup screen etc. I'll need some kind of utility for the dictionary feature anyway.

Joypadpageforward is a temporary solution that allowes joypad browsing (in books). sandbox.js is not supposed to be used by non-developers. (did i forget to delete it from the release?) --------------------------------------------------------- I expect to do RC release in a couple of days. Then there will be 3-4 weeks break, then I'll come back to (at least) do the dictionary the way I like it. |
