I'd like to edit my sticky to show which of the Jinke's Progams read which format, but I'm confused on some of them
i.e., obviously the "Image Parser" does the pictures, the "Wol" version does the Wol files, which we don't really use here. The PDF does the pdf and epubs.
So could you help:
Linux kernel: ??
PDF parser: pdf, epub
Doc parser: doc's (why is this separate from the TXT/RTF?)
HTML parser: CoolReader for html's ??????
Wol parser: wol's
Image parser: jpeg, etc.
TXT parser: CoolReader for Txt and rtf????
FB2 parser: CoolReader for Fb2 ?????
Viewer version: ???????
Bookself version: ???????
Which is the MP3 reader???
Thanks
AJ

No problem with adding it. Jinke has changed parsers for the various formats in the past but the internal version seems to hold onto the format rather than the tool used to parse the format.
DOC is very different than RTF and TXT. It is a binary format used for word files. The Cool Reader 2.0 version could actually parse doc files but the Cool Reader 3.0 version cannot. I am not sure what DOC parser they use but it conforms to their internal Hanlin format specifications.
The bookshelf software is the stuff you see when not reading a book. It is the software that controls recent files, provides the menus, the UI, and it is the one that picks the software to use to read the files.
The viewer is the Hanlin eBook Reader I believe but I am not totally sure. You kind of have to track the versions and see which dates change to reflect the feature that changed to see where that feature is.
In the March release the following parsers were changed: PDF parser to fix the toc handling for ePUB although they actually broke it to be repaired in the next version., The HTML, TXT, FB2 parsers were changed as we know to all use Cool Reader 3.0. The bookshelf was changed as it almost always is because it had to change which tool is launched.
TTS, MP3, XPDF, Mobi parsers are not shown but should be. I am not sure where the zip/rar parsing is done but it is likely in the bookshelf. This list of parsers hasn't changed since 2008 or perhaps before but the software used to do the parsing has changed.
