I've got UMR working now on my Clara HD. Thanks to help from @NiLuJe and @geek1011 on helping me understand RegEx expressions.
It turns out that adding the following line under [FeatureSettings] was what I needed:
Code:
ExcludeSyncFolders=\\.(?!kobo|adobe).*?
Without that line, NickelMenu functioned just fine, but Ultimate Manga Reader hit the pavement at 90mph. As you read above, the install was a disaster.
Then editing the following line as follows in ultimatemangareader.sh was able to have an effect, returning touchscreen control to normal on my Clara HD:
Code:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=kobo:touchscreen_rotate=90:touchscreen_invert_x=0:touchscreen_invert_y=0:logicaldpitarget=108
My recommendation to @OfficerAction is to add these tips to the first post so that people don't have to read all the posts to catch up. Without the hidden file filter, users are likely to blame UMR for the bad install. Also, mentioning which line in ultimatemangareader.sh to modify would make that part go a lot smoother for people unfamiliar with that file’s settings structure.
All in all, though, the app works great. I'm looking forward to running it through its paces. I have two questions that perhaps somebody could answer:
1) I wonder if the app truly needs to reboot the Kobo upon closing. Is there a setting I can tweak to prevent this?
2) I have noticed that the backlight is off when the app runs. Others have noticed this as well. Is there a setting to keep the backlight on?
Lastly, I noticed this post from four months ago, a long ago age during kinder and more peaceful times:

How nice that person could ask their newbie questions in a forum where experienced users warmly offered help. I am totally sure that they will continue to carry on that tradition—inspired by the kindness others showed them—when they are in a position to offer assistance. 🙄
