where fbreader is placed?

artur · 07-22-2008, 04:43 PM

After installation it should be under Programs, but nothing but Uninstall is there.

Can I simply invoke fbreader?

The only change I can see is that I can read .rtf files.

If you installed version 0.8.14, the only way to run FBReader is by selecting an ebook with one of the supported extensions. See Update Settings for FBReader 0.8.14 for how to customize it.

I have located it in /usr/bin/. There is FBReader and fbreader.sh. I was able to execute FBReader, but it disappeared after exiting the shell.

There is also /mnt/settings/.FBReader directory. The file system.xml says it is 0.8.14 version. So it is I hope, I have installed two times, but none is under Programs.

The 0.8.14 version is used like a standard iRex app, so it is designed to be invoked from the contentlister by selecting a filetype it is bound too in the registry.

The older 0.8.04 version can be added to the registry, but can also be invoked stand-alone from the Programs directory. This is the version that works like FBReader on other computers, with an internal library and book selection via a file navigation window. If you want to switch to version 0.8.04, first uninstall 0.8.14 - see FBReader uninstaller. If an uninstaller came with 0.8.14, then that should work instead of this one.

It seems I have installed 0.8.4 and then 0.8.14, but none of them appeared in /mnt/free/Programs. I have copied fbreader.sh to /mnt/free/Programs and it reads the last .rtf documnet.

But the only thing I can do is to turn pages. I do not see any user interface/menu.

The user interface and menus are only available with 0.8.4. Uninstall 0.8.14 and reinstall 0.8.4. The 0.8.4 version definitely works from a CF card, and it is started by navigating to CF/Programs and selecting "FBReader standalone" (or something like that).
