1st off, I'd like to thank you guys for the work you are putting in this! I found this stuff a few days ago when I decided to start taking a look at the Kobo source to see if what I could mess around with, and this stuff is awesome!
2nd, has anyone got the toolchain working on a Mac? (10.5.8 specifically) I don't seem to be able to get it compiling properly... I'd love to help coding if possible, but I'm fine QA'ing too
3rd: bugs. Here's what I've found on the latest (from #85):
- Installing/Updating is still somewhat... messy? tricky? hit/miss? anyway, Uncompressing to the .kobo dir doesn't seem to work for me nicely... however, moving the zip over directly did work for a while, but updating is still hit/miss. I've found that using tar to recompress as a .tgz then putting that on worked best, and seems to update all the time properly. Then it seems to pick up the updated plugin properly.
- Updating the .ini file, you have to restart the device after doing any change to the ini. so power off, power on, library, then the ini changes seem to work.
- I also had some fiddling around with trying to get the new plugin updated with the .ini updating at the same time, and I ended up having to remove the .ini, update via .tgz, then it seemed to work nicely.
- Shelves. Adding to shelves seems to show _every_ epub on the device, including the Kobo "previews", "recomended for you", "for sale", etc, _and_ all the side loaded ones. For me, there were 10+ pages of "kobo store stuff" on top of my 2/3 pages, so it's harder to find things to add to shelves.
- Shelves p2. if you go into a shelf, then go out, the "custom menu" is not there anymore, then if you go back to library, it shows up again...
Anyway, loving the changes, keep up the awesome work!
Omthalamos.
