Update V1.4
I created an extra update for the Recent Files patch for the DR1000. The following functionality was added:
- Possibility to remove items from the Recent Files folder if it exceeds a certain limit (one page, two pages). See Settings->Recent Files->Automatic Removal Options.
- Restoring files after USB connect/disconnect. See Settings->Recent Files->Card Removal Options (item was disabled and is now enabled).
- Open ALL documents. See Settings->Recent Files->Document Startup Options (item was disabled and is now enabled).
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 several people already, 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.
Installation:
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 v1.4 and
Restore Recent Files Patch v1.4.
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.
Quick Start:
Go to Settings->Recent Files to enable the functionality provided by this patch.
Known Problems/Limitations:
- Be aware when using the 'Open all Documents Active on Shutdown' it will take a lot of time to open all documents when restarting. Same for Card Removal Options.
- 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.
- 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, ...)
