Update V1.5pre
I created a new update for the Recent Files patch, since (end of) April is rappidly coming, I post this version directly here, without first being tested by the 'guinea pigs'. To give all a chance to have a look.
This versions adds:
- new 'name-view' (next to current icon- and list-view), only showing the name of the files. (is not yet restored after power-up)
- Show 'titles' of files (as stored in metadata.db) instead of the file name. (The new name is not shown in the PathBar, that would mean changing too much code)
- A rename-feature to change the 'titles' of file. (See also previous item.)
- Ask if short-cut should be deleted when it is not pointing to a file
- Ellipses to the right again
- Updated Russian translation
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.
This version has been tested less then the previous ones!
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 v1.5pre and
Restore Recent Files Patch v1.5pre.
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. (The FBReader version from post #58 above, will be restarted.)
- Note that 'active documents' means that the document should still be opened and visbile when you shutdown the DR using the menu.
- Nameview not restored after power-up
- Name in the pathbar is still the filename
- The rename dialog is not translated.
Please let me know what you think of it (bugs, improvements, other questions, ...)
