Koreader hidden files

Cosmos · 11-02-2023, 05:33 AM

Hi,

I have a couple of issues with koreader. I installed it using the automated power shell script which according to the post will automate hiding koreader folder from Nickel.

I was working on the library using Kobos desktop app. Cleaned a few books.

To my surprise, this triggered a reset of my Elipsa 2E.

After the reset, Nickel managed to scan Koreader and I have more than a 100 images on the mybooks folder.

I don't know what caused the reset but it seems to have trigged a scan and the Koreader folder was no longer hidden.

How can I fix it? Thanks.

Resetted the reader to factory. Reinstalled koreader again via power script. Hopefully that weird reset to nickel won't happen again.

I would assume bad cable/port/controller + filesystem corruption and/or nickel choking on a broken file because of the broken transfer.

Nickel does absolutely *nothing* during an USBMS session, so it can only be a "physical" issue (or your OS sending a wonky eject or root hub power reset).
