I am sorry to hear that KSM is not behaving properly!

Things are a little complicated, since some points work differently on different models. I therefore try to summarize the expected behaviour of the files exit_nickel.png and switchtokoreader.png when opened from nickel.


If nickel was called by "start nickel"
  • on Touch, Glo, Mini, Aura: both exit nickel and return to KSM
  • on Aura HD, Aura H2O: both exit nickel and reboot the device

If nickel was called by "koreader_additions > start nickel koreader switch" or "koreader_additions > start koreader nickel switch"
  • on Touch, Glo, Mini, Aura:
    • switchtokoreader.png exits (temporarily) nickel and starts koreader
    • exit_nickel.png exits nickel and returns to KSM
  • on Aura HD, Aura H2O:
    • switchtokoreader.png exits (temporarily) nickel and starts koreader. This seems however not to work correctly on H2O (and maybe also not onAura HD), and should therefore not be used.
    • exit_nickel.png exits nickel and reboots the device
In your case exit_nickel.png and switchtokoreader.png seem to do nothing at all of that kind. Did you by chance install first KSM and only later inserted the folder kbmenupngs? If that is the case, it might help if you power off the device and on again, to solve the problem. For the moment I cannot think of another cause of the problem and therefore of no other solution.
