Hi,

I broke my KoReader. I was trying to follow some advice to edit the code to enable an "export highlights" function. But I ended up breaking the tab icons in the Koreader settings/ options - which now are all greyed out.

I'm guessing that it's an issue with the following warning:
"NOTE: Another thing that bears repeating is that on FW >= 4.17, you'll probably also want to prevent Nickel from scanning *nix hidden folders. And you'll want to tweak your config before unplugging your device (i.e., before installing this; or, if you've just upgraded your FW, during the first USB connection after the update)."

Is there a fix for this?
Do I need to start again?
If so, how do I do that safely without resetting the whole device and starting the whole process from scratch?

Thanks in advance.
