- add a new PDF;
- open it;
- run this script;
- go back to your PDF and enjoy the continuous page mode.
I've tested it on both my DR800SG (running RC3) and emulator - and it worked fine. That doesn't mean it'll work fine for you too. I give you no warranty, so if it implodes your reader from the inside - tough luck. It should be better, but it's a result of hasty poking here and there. And yes, it's a shell script. You can start screaming now 
Some boring details:
- If you've been looking for a way to tell the reader to flush the cache from ram to sdcard, take a look inside (two dbus broadcasts - clunky, but works).
- At the moment you can't use this script to turn the continuous mode off. If you need to, plug your reader to a PC and nuke relevant metadata.db.
- It's working on the "recently updated" metadata.db files, so if you have some old PDF file to change, just open it and flip a page, should be enough (reader will update uds_last_read_location).
- Yes, there's double refresh sometimes. That's with DR800 uds. I guess this is the reason why developers didn't unlock it by default, possibly solving that double refresh would take more time than they had at hand atm.
- Calling my C rusty would be a compliment, so I don't see a proper graphical application for this coming soon. If you can write one, by all means go ahead (but tell me, so I won't waste any time trying to do this in my mythical free time). I was thinking about something that would allow you to navigate sdcard, show all pdf files and allow you to toggle pageflow/fullscreen at whim.
Hope you like it, and it'll be useful to someone |
the link does not work for me.
