Gowerpoint have released a new version of
µbook, the excellent multi-format ebook reader (and my personal favourite!).
Fixes and additions in this update include (and there's a few
):
- Added Cursor Moves through arrow keys (in menu, text, links and skin)
- Added Lock Screen mode
- Added Previous Page / Next Page split screen mode
- Added Cursor Mode key loop keys (forward / backward) as Button Mappable on Handlheld units. Tab and Shift Tab on PC version. Loop: Normal Mode -> Skin Mode -> Text Mode -> Links Mode or Image Mode -> Divided Screen Mode -> Lock Screen Mode -> Normal Mode
- Added 'Back' as Button Mappable on Handlheld units
- Added Export to/Import from/Sync with between Annotations and an external file. (*.ubd)
- Added replay of external Annotation file (*.ubd -> i-Book)
- Added Menu on slide-show page, for cell options
- Added Automatic creation of cell, columns and/or strips
- Added Option to enlarge images up to x% (slide show and *.ubd)
- New Windows.usk skin
- Major speed-up of text selection when image(s) on page.
- Major rewrite of stream handling, reducing quantity of code (but not size of executable?!) before code rot starts... stream rewriting is required for exporting/importing of Annotations (especially to images) for allowing access to images inside and outside compressed folders from the same input text. (i.e. IMG="im1.jpg" IMG="a.zip/im2.jpg" IMG="../a.zip/b.zip/im2.jpg" etc...)
- Change boot-up procedure to be faster by removing invisible splash screen -- which in turn brought up a visible splash screen?! and disabling extra load of uBook.ini when getting skin flags
- Replaced Low Quality icons by a higher quality with same memory use (i.e. a quanticized 8 bit palette)
- Do not hide cursor when any dialog is up
- Fixed problem with extracting text for Text Quality Analyzer
- Fixed font height issue(s)
- Fixed bolding problem with Sharp fonts
- Fixed endless paginating of some non-zipped files
- Fixed multiple-redraw of cover while paginating
- Fixed First Image Highlight that didn't draw the drag rectangle
- Fixed table of illustration image labels
- Fixed zoom arrows for handheld versions
- Fixed filtering of tabs by RTF parser
- Fixed bug with last image line truncation
- Fixed uninstall to remove uBook_images.ini
- Updated Francais.ulg
- Updated Help Manual
