Trick : enable landscape or portrait
Hi guys,

I just want to give you a little trick : with FW 4.19.x and above, if you don't have a Kobo Forma or Kobo Libra H2O eReader (because this function already exists on thoose 2 devices), you can activate an icon to choose landscape or portrait (except on mini).

To activate this icon, you just have to activate the developer mode : edit Kobo eReader.conf (you will find it in .kobo/Kobo folder (notepad ++ recommend if you use windows) and add this line to [DeveloperSettings] (if you can't find [DeveloperSettings], add this line too).

You will have something like this :

[DeveloperSettings]
ForceAllowLandscape=true

Save the file, eject your device and restart the Kobo. The auto-rotate icon will appear at the top of the desktop !
