Hi everyone,

I've been messing around with the great enhancements the Kobos have to offer (or make possible) and I've noticed one problem:
When closing Koreader and returning to Nickel, Nickel freezes and I have to soft reset the H2O (user settings like sleep cover and Pocket account are reset, my „export highlights“ entry is overwritten). I have tried to narrow this down and I think there are a couple of options:
- either Koreader does not shut down completely and subsequently messes with Nickel (some memory issue perhaps?)
- the „Save document“ option in Koreader does something to the PDF file that Nickel doesn't like (but my PDFs are in a hidden folder and not in the Nickel library now because I thought that might have been the problem)
- both of the above at the same time...
Resetting the device in KSM after exiting Koreader prevents Nickel from freezing (as far as I can tell) so I guess it’s something to do with Koreader not shutting down completely.
I'm running the latest Koreader nightly (18th of March) on KSM 007 (updates 1 and 2 applied) and firmware 1.13.1.
Do you folks have any ideas on that?
