Aura H2O Open book in Koreader from Nickel?

tayseidel · 12-28-2015, 02:41 PM

AS the title indicates, I would like to know whether I can open a book with koreader from Nickel? I like managing my collections from Calibre and Nickel provides a nice GUI for looking at collections and reading a books metadata, but for reading, I like koreader.

The startkoreader PNG in Nickel does not start koreader, it just goes to KSM 8 instead.

You should find an option in the KSM "Configure" menu [koreader]>insertKoreaderNickelSwitch=false. You can set it to true.

Maybe that should be: insertNickelKoreaderSwitch=true.

To find/see the options for the various sections you have to poke the "add item".

Luck;
Ken

startkoreader.png takes you to Koreader only if nickel was started by selecting "start nickel koreader switch" or by "start koreader nickel switch."
But this does not make koreader open a book that you select in nickel. One could implement this, but it would not be very convenient, since it is time consuming to open in nickel the selected book before switching to koreader. I guess this is not what you intended anyway
