I cannot reconstruct your observed bug. What did you do exactly to get it? A. Last edited by Analogus; 07-14-2012 at 02:49 AM. |

Until recently I presumed the bug was because I turn the touch screen on and off a lot (I do not use sleep mode). I have to reboot to get the functionality back. However, the other day I rebooted and went in to annotate and it didn't work. After a reboot! It is possible I did something first to cause it. I get the bug so much that I assumed that other people have encountered it and have mentioned it. If you use the annotation feature regularly, I imagine you will encounter it. If you can suggest a method to diagnose / reproduce it, I can try. It's not the end of the world because I can still use the draw tool. I just figured it was a known bug and I've been meaning to mention here for a while. I suppose the best thing to do is to format and reinstall prs+. |

On reflection, I wonder if the bug is caused by my bindings. I have set hold zoom / font button to toggle between activate note bar and continue reading. I'll try using annotations without the binding.
Edit: No, I don't think it's that. I rebooted, opened a file, accessed the annotating bar manually, went to highlight text and it didn't work. And yet, I rebooted again and it did work. Weird. I am editing epubs converted from bare-bones htm files with just html and body tags. There might be some other stuff in there. I need to play around with it. I am surprised no one else has encountered this 'bug' so I think I will post a question on the general Sony forum to see if anyone else has had this. Of course, it's possible it's not even prs+ causing it. Last edited by Rizla; 07-16-2012 at 06:49 AM. |

The 26th of February version is still the latest one on the download page though, so a new install would presumably be identical.

Check http://code.google.com/p/prs-plus/source/list
there is slow but steady development, so a new installer build from the default repository would surely make a difference - and that is what Ben says. OTOH kartu is still working on the custom dictionary, so the next "official/featured" installer will be delayed for some more time. |

I'm certainly not complaining about the speed of development, I'm simply saying that 26/02 is the latest build available on the download page, so that's what's available to casual users. Personally I wouldn't have the first clue how to build an installer or what's involved in doing that.

The fact my bug is unknown really surprises me. I get it more than not get it. I did a reboot again the other day and it did it immediately without any intermediate actions. Presumably it is due to settings then, or a fault on my device. |

Though for the 505 there is the need of updating a system-file (FskCache.xsb). -> not working with beta-packs, reflash necessary. See rev b69b4c442005 Volunteers for PRS-300 needed! Will have to check out if FskCache.xsb must be replaced. Last edited by Mark Nord; 07-23-2012 at 02:48 PM. Reason: typo |

there is a line in 300'eds code suggesting that there is a folder/directory skipped from scanning. Code:
this.kbook.model.scan = function () { <global>.FskCache.diskSupport.ignoreDir('Digital Editions/Thumbnails'); If the new book dosn't show up in the book-node, then no more action is necessary. If it shows up, which is what I assume, then please put the (extracted) content of the attached archive into IM of your reader. Content are FskCache.xsb from 505th firmware version 1.4 and a prsp-startup-script (prsp.sh) which should be placed into /database/system/PRSPlus Power down your reader using settings-menu - not just put it into standby - and then restart it. During startup the 505-fskcache.xsb file will be temporary replace the one of the original fw. If all goes well, your file added to "Digital Editions/Thumbnails" should be gone from book-node (but be still accessible thru BrowseFolders). If anything goes wrong, dont panic, there is PRS+ SafeMode:
