Now also stores Recent Folders
I extended the Recent Files patch, posted earlier, with the possibility to also store the folder in which the opened document is. Viacheslav provided the idea, and according the people that have used it until now, it is a usefull addition.
Viacheslav supplied a russian translation and rfog the Spanish for the new settings-dialog.
The attached zip file should be unzipped on your SD-card. It will add 2 short-cuts in Home->Documents->Programs->Install:
Apply Recent Files Patch v1.3 and
Restore Recent Files Patch v1.3.
One to install and one to un-install the patch. The install and uninstall will do a reset of the DR1000, so do not worry when this happens.
Before you try:
THIS ONLY WORKS FOR THE DR1000! (do not try to use this for the DR800!!!)
THIS PATCH MODIFIES THE FIRMWARE (replaces 'ctb', 'popupmenu' and 'settings') SO APPLY AT YOUR OWN RISK. ONLY USE FOR VERSION 1.7/1.7.1 OF THE FIRMWARE.
The posted version is used by 6 people, they have not found disturbing problems, but still you should be aware that you are modifying your firmware. Also note that the patches are applied the original versions of the R1.7/R1.7.1 firmware so DO NOT USE when you have another firmware installed!!! (Nor for the DR800.) If something went really wrong, I have no reason to believe that you would not be able to fix it with a firmware re-install.
New Setting item:
The settings for the Recent Files has a new item: "Remember their parents folder" enabling this will also store a short-cut to the folders in the Recent Files folder.
Known Problems/Limitations:
- The Recent-Files folder only grows, old files will not be removed automatically.
- Only files that are opened from the 'folder view' are added. So if you open a new document in FBReader or xournal, these are NOT added in the Recent-Files folder.
- As said before, only files that show up in the popupmenu can be restarted after a power-up!. So all the native formats (pdf, txt, etc) and xournal documents can be restarted. But FBReader, midori, evince documents will NOT be restarted.
- Note that 'active documents' means that the document should still be opened and visbile when you shutdown the DR using the menu.
Please let me know what you think of it (bugs, improvements, other questions, ...)
