--" seriously trying to trashtalk me ?
1/ I didn't make fun of you
2/ Turns out I pointed you to the correct resources for the ExcludeSyncFolders=\\.(?!kobo|adobe).*? and the fact that you had to tweak the ultimatemangareader.sh didn't I.
3/ I never implied that you were making fun of the dev, just stated that they were away because of their exams and therefore it could take a while for issues to be fixed
4/ Playing the victim and being passive agressive toward the only "pal" that replied to you doesn't seem very productive to me.
5/ Yes I asked for help and ? Trying to throw me under the bus here ? To shame me ? People pointed out resources to me, I've read them and figured out the solution. Kinda like I was doing with you, pointed you to ressources.
Anyways... I'll ignore that. About the rest :
"1) I wonder if the app truly needs to reboot the Kobo upon closing. Is there a setting I can tweak to prevent this?"
I haven't encountered an app that doesn't restart upon closing yet (granted I only installed 4). It seems to be standard procedure to restart the tablet upon exiting apps. If I had to take a blind shot I'd say restarting any tablets is problably the universal and easiest method to restore it to its "standard mode" without having to create specific code for each. And as it doesn't take that long for ereaders to restart nobody bothered to do more than that.
"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?"
About the brightness being off upon launch. Yes like you mentioned it's a known issue. Only way to deal with it for now is to open any manga and then set the brightness using the top bar but it seems to be buged on the latest version.
Although you can tweak the actual brightness and color values your screen will have at the startup of UMR by configuring the ultimatemangareader.sh file.
For the libra h2o you can add the following lines (it shouldn't matter where as long as it's before
${UMRPATH}/UltimateMangaReader > $LOGFILE 2>&1) :
Code:
echo 80 > /sys/class/backlight/lm3630a_led/brightness
echo 10 > /sys/class/backlight/lm3630a_led/color
replace 80 by any values in between 0 and 100 for the brigthness. And 10 by any values in between 0 and 10 for the color/warmness (duh
), use a '.' , not a ',' if you want a fraction value.
Those lines should work for any devices having similar screen and driver as the libra h2o. Check the following link to get more informations about what file to "echo into" for other devices :
https://github.com/Rain92/qt5-kobo-p...tions.cpp#L118
If your devices isn't listed.... Try to locate the adequate brightness/color/whatever files of your devices using either the following methods :
- telnet into your devices and search for the files, they should be somewhere within sys/class/backlight/*****
- use KOReader (enable "Show Hidden Files" and "Show unsupported Files" in its settings), and try to locate whatever brightness/color files within sys/class/backlight/***
I'm not taking responsabilities if your device catch on fire, you stubb your toe in the corner of a table, etc. If you don't know what you're doing you should probably don't try it.
It is not a "hole in one" fix as UMR will reset the brigthness and color to zero if you put your ereader to sleep... But it will do for now.
"My recommendation to @OfficerAction ..."
The rotation procedure is already mentioned in the first post (cf Known Issues). Althought the excludeFolder is not, probably because it's usually mentioned in most of the nm install instructions already so they assumed it wasn't necessary to repeat it there.
