Moon+ showing Most Recent first time a book is read

chaley · 06-07-2016, 04:28 AM

I noticed middle last week that the first time one reads a book, Moon+ opens (for me) the "Most Recent" page. From then on the book opens normally. If you change to another book "B" then one sees the behavior again. If you change back to book "A", that book "A" might open normally or it might again open the Most Recent page. I haven't been able to determine the rules. Given that there have been no changes to CC and that Moon+ has been updated several times, it seems clear that Moon+ has changed its behavior. I went through all the Moon+ options and as far as I can tell there is nothing I can do about it. I don't know if the dev intended this behavior or if it is a mistake.

Does anyone else see this behavior? If so, has anyone worked out a way to avoid it?

Fortunately dealing with the problem is easy. Hit the back button in Moon+ to go back to CC and "read" the book again. This is made easier by changing the Moon+ option "Back Key" (in Control options) to "Close Moon+ reader". Another way to do it that I sometimes use is to return to the home screen and tap on the CC widget I have placed there to open the latest book.

Moon+ PRO closes to the Most recent after leaving a book a Launch from CC.

But I have had occasional Launches, NOT open the book the firs t time around. Closing Moon+ PRO, and re launching from CC, opens as usual

I'm not seeing any problem opening a book. I had been on Moon+ Pro 3.4.4 and just updated to 3.5.2 and a book opened fine on each version.

I had this happen to me recently. I updated both Moon+ and CC but it kept happening. I noticed that I had over 800 png files in the hidden folder .MoonReader. I deleted them and forced closed Moon+ but it still wouldn't open any books. I finally did a backup of my settings in Moon+, cleared data, and restored my settings. It's been ok since.

Thanks.

Doing the clear data fixed it for me as well.

Just a word of warning for anyone who clears data and restores the Moon+ backup - you will have to turn sync back on after the restore. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't getting my current reading position and figured I just forgot to turn wifi on on my T62. Today I knew wifi was on when I read last night so I checked the sync settings and it was turned off.
