Save the cover as an image file when loading a document
 

How can I specify that when a document is opened, the cover is saved as an image file with a fixed name?

I don't think you can. Is that an option in another program?

It would be helpful if you could describe how you wanted to use the image/file. You can take a screenshot that will be saved as a .png, with a name Reader_date_time.
When you take a successful screenshot, you are given where the snapshot png is stored and offered an option to set it as the screensaver. (The option won't work if the OS on your device manages the screensaver function, like Android does on my note 2.)

Hello my friend. :)

I want to make a screensaver from the cover. I have an android reader. I can then link to a picture as a screensaver.

Best would be something like /koreader/currentcover.png or something like that.

I don't know. :/

See https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/5732. It is a non-fixable thing.

You can, of course, hack the code to write the screensaver to a jpg/png file each time a new document is opened. I would suggest to develop that on the emulator, not directly on a android device.

When you manage to modify the code you'll need to import your modified files in the program each time the program is updated. You can use a modified version of https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ation-patterns

In this case I was asked to write in "/data/...", I just need to get a file like "/koreader/screenshots/currentcover.png".

OoOoOohhh the "rocks flavor" looks very good with the scripts. Now also apart from screensavers.

I'll have a look at the code, but I don't know any Lua. :/

Does KOReader create a log file with the last loaded file?

A suggestion from me would be a script that is executed with every document load.

logs are written to console on the emulator and to android log buffer on android (you can retrieve them with adb logcat)

It doesn't make sense to add hooks everywhere. The program itself is a big hook (it is interpreted). You only need to rewrite the parts of the code you need. In that case the function that's called is https://github.com/koreader/koreader....lua#L537-L585

The scripts there are just for android and made sense because there's no easy way for users to customize the program on that platform.

Ok the emulator is running. :)

But you're right, Android doesn't take a changing image file as screensaver.

I didn't know your Kindle PW2 was running under an Android OS, is that something you added yourself?

It is a poke 2. :D

Cool. What do you use it for?

The same, i write it to folder and the screensaver app of onyx nova shows it when it's in standby.

Parts of it would be theoretically quite simple, such as writing whatever you want as the screensaver to a file. But as @pazos said it's not quite clear to me if this isn't too low-level and device specific in a way that would require running the program as root.
