In my first post I put the link to the new RC version of 1.7 (from today)
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/23593310/update-20120215.zip I still didn't get the release notes but I've already discovered some new very interesting functions:
Don't hesitate - try it out! Last edited by Booxtor; 02-15-2012 at 11:04 AM. |

What about https? In older version I cannot connect my reader to what internet I have (home network or ad-hoc Wifi tethering from phone).

Does the highlighted text get copied too or just what the user types manually? |

Copy the file to a sd card and put it into your device switch off the reader hold the ok /joystick button pressed and switch on the device. Wait approx. 10 minutes till the device restarts after restarting black screen appears. Just switch on the device again. Annotations: The highligted text AND your comment will be copied in the annotation file. |

I notice that the web browser now has a bigger top tool bar (might even be a little too big), with a new symbol, a star. I assume this is some sort of bookmarks function (it only seems to toggle on and off without any effect I can discern). PF4Mobile, the update procedure is on page 4 of this thread, somewhere just under midway. (Maybe Booxtor could be persuaded to insert them into his first post on this thread?) Cheers!

AFAIK this was not happening at all before. The only option to mark text and to export what you marked was to scribble (use the pen to underline the text) and export that in with the PDF Now that is changed to Highlight and Export with the PDF and also export as .txt file. The highilighted text is also seen in the PDF file if you open the file on PC. All the above while the scribbling on the document is still there as shown by jbaach right? If I got all the above correct this is a big improvement! |

As soon as you finished your annotations in a book - your highlighted text, your comments and page numbers can be exported in a text file with the same name like original document plus .txt and will be stored in the directory called "reading notes" (internal memory). You can then simply copy the annotation file to pc and work with it. Last edited by Booxtor; 02-15-2012 at 11:36 AM. |

Hi,
just updated my M92 and I am very pleased:
Considering the update process: It works just as described by booxtor. If you wonder: You do not have to "empty" (i.e. format) the SD card to update. It worked just fine even though I have a lot of files in the root folder and many more in folders... Again: Thanks to Booxtor for always being in contact with Onyx and allowing such nice "previews" to happen P.s.: Yeah, exporting annotation works (to txt file); However, I will probably not going to use it anyhow, since the stylus is now just perfectly (really!) calibrated P.p.s.: Plugging the M92 itself into the usb port of my pc I can now simultaneously access both the internal and the SD card [both are displayed as drives under win7]. I am not sure, whether this was possible before, as I got my SD card only last week Last edited by MatthiasR.; 02-15-2012 at 01:10 PM. |

Nasty Bug
In my last reply I mention the hyperlinks to be marked by boxes. That's very nice, but:
Unfortunately the links do not work at all! I tried switching the zoom levels, the page layout (scroll pages is now per default enabled, personally I dont like that) and sketching and then going back to the "hand tool". Nothing works. I think have to migrate back to the original firmware, since I use pdf links very frequently |

@Booxstor Is it really necessary to copy the firmware in a SD card?
It'd be nice if you could copy it to internal memory. I guess I'll have to buy a card |

PDF Rendering
One more thing:
It seemed they changed the pdf rendering (or the corresponding driver). In some of my textboox there are boxes for definitions with a grey background, now before the update the boxes were darker but consisted of an equal amount of darker and lighter pixels which were used to create the image of the grey wanted. Now after the update the background of those boxes is uniform and much lighter, in fact they are so light that it is actually quite difficult to notice the difference. Long story short: It seems that they work on the pdf rendering (or they just updated to a new pdf reader version..) |

I can also confirm I'm glad https works, so now I can connect to my home network, but connecting to ad-hoc network (tethering from my Nokia with Joiku Spot) does not work.
Typing in forms in web browser very slow (and for website addresses it's quite slow) and I would like some loading page progress, sometimes there is no feedback. Also, the pdf I mention before that it does not work. Here is the link again http://cs.joensuu.fi/paikka/andrei/istoria.pdf , Booxtor, could you check it ? |

In the same vein, would be nice that, when clicking on the URI-keyboard, the current URI was shown, incl. a failed attempt as it is somewhat irritating to have to type the whole lot in again if one makes the slightest typing mistake. Minor details, though... Ha, about the only thing I haven't done with my m92 yet is to actually read a book... it's just so darn convenient to have access to all the news on it! All the best... CJ |
