(però il sistema di scorrimento delle immagini da volume a volume dovrebbe rimanere lo stesso)

Posso provare a fare qualcosa, ma sarà complesso. Magari trovo un workaround, vediamo un po'....

I have followed all the steps in order to enjoy my comic collection on the Kindle Touch but it seems is not working.

I have already jailbroken my device, as well as instaled Jailkindlet, JPatch, the Launcher as well as the 2.0 version of Komik.

The application seems to work as it opens normally (attachment 1), but then after loading the comic's folder it doesn't load any image (attachment 2). Instead of that it appears a question mark sign in the middle of the screen (sorry for the bad quality of my picture) and appears a small number in the left corner of kindle.

Could someone please tell my which can be the problem or the error I has been comitting? I don't know if it's related to Java or to some aspect of the launcher. Thanks a lot guys for all your hard work and attention . I cannot wait to enjoy reading my graphic nouveles in my recently tunned Kindle

Thank you very much Franky90 and Silver 18. The rename feature solves the error.

Just two more questions please :P.
1)Is there any way to keep the landscape mode with touchable zoom for all the images of the comic? It is a bit tiring to be selecting it everytime you change a page.

2) Could you better explain me how to activate the cover view mode in the home page of Komik? I'm a little dumb going trough all the app options :/

Thanks again guys, you rock

Could you please explain the request a little bit more? Thanks!

In the meanwhile, I managed to detect the "comic volumes"...
If you have a folder tree like this:

Komic can understand that Volume01--->Volume04 are subfolders.

This can then be used to alter the dropdown menu adding the name of the comic:



You can see the result above...I could even remove the "Torpedo/" string before Volume0*.
The problem is:
- I can disable those new entries (they should not be clickable)
- I can't alter the font weight OR font size OR font style OR background color OR text color
- I can't add a background image

I really can't do anything I thought about so I added those ASCII chars...
BUT remember that any newly added char removes space for the comic name...

I'm open to advice!!

This is without the parent folder...
I like it, but it would have been better if I could have done what I was thinking...
Bold and italic for the parent folder and a background image with a nice arrow for subfolders!

[Franky90]

ma tipo non si potrebbe fare che clicchi su ''torpedo'' e vai ad un'altra schermata con i volumi? proprio come se fosse una cartella di un computer (forse l'hai gia detto ma con google traduttore ha tradotto male non so XD)

[Franky90]

spe forse non ho capito ma se clicchi su torpedo escono le cartelle? oppure è cosi appena entri nel menu?

[silver18]

E' così appena entri nel menu.
Purtroppo non posso controllare granchè quel maledetto menu.
La soluzione migliore sarebbe monstrare in quel menu soltanto i volumi singoli e i nomi dei fumetti che hanno delle sottocartelle, così da cliccare su uno di questi e, nel caso ci siano delle sottocartelle, aprire un altro menu per sceglierne una.

Ma non posso aprire un menu cliccando su un altro menu.
Posso creare una pagina apposta in cui vengono caricate le sottocartelle, ma non so quando venga bene come soluzione.

[Franky90]

a ok decidi tu cosa fare comunque volevo farti una domanda posso andare su internet con il kindle jailbrekkato e ''komic-zato''? e se ci vado rischio qualcosa?

you can use a submenu for each collection (ie. parent folder)

Do you know how to do it or are you suggesting?
I ask this because of the screenshots...if you know how to do it please tell me!

Anyway I managed to make something similar: the dropdown menu shows only single-shot comics and parent folders (with a + in front of the name).
When you choose a parent folder, the menu will un-hide the corresponding subfolders (and the parent folder will get a - in front of the name).
Then, when you choose an already open parent folder, it will be closed (subfolders hidden and + in front of the name).
This is exactly what I wanted except for one thing: when you choose the parent folder the menu is closed and you have to open it again!
I can't do anything about this!

PS the best way would be understanding how kindle's menu are created and replicate it populating it with parent folders and single-shot comics....
BUT, personally, I don't know how to do it!

Everything works now, the only drawback is the need of double tapping on the dropdown menu!

I tried some times ago to programmatically open a dropdown menu with JS, but no luck!
