Plato: A document reader for PDF, ePUB, DjVu, etc.

Could I add my own hyphenation dictionary (es-jcn363.standard.bincode) or must I replace es.standard.bincode?
Good luck.

Hi,

Has anyone ever installed Plato on a Kobo H2O first edition ?
I have successfully installed Koreader before but Plato just don't launch. Is there any possible conflict beetween the two ?

Thanks

Not at all.
What kind of install do you made?

Good luck.

I've Installed KFmon,
- put the file in the plato.0.5.4 archive in a plato directory inside the .add directory,
- copy the plato.ini found on Kfom github page in .add/kfmon/config,
- the plato.svg in a icons directory on root
- copy the content of plato-launcher-fmon-0.4.1 (plato.sh, nikel.sh) in .add/plato/

Have I made something wrong ?

Thanks

Assuming you meant ".adds" I too had similar problem.. I couldn't see the plato -icon on start up screen on KFmon or Fmon. When I finally tried a clean install and used "plato-launcher-fmon-0.4.1.zip" same thing happened, although this time I found the plato icon and launcher in "My Books", in the head menu.. It might have been there all the time though. Take a look.

I did find the icone, but it only opens as a picture, Plato doesn't launch...

Check the paths in the kfmon plato.ini file. In particular, check that the location of the logo png and plato.sh match where they are located on your kobo.

@Arn: The default config expects you to follow instructions *to the letter*: namely, unpacking the archive *as is* and *in its entirety* to the *root* folder.

This would mean plato.png ends up in an icons subfolder .

Instead, you manually put the plato.png file directly at the root, which is not where the config expects it: kaboom .

As @sherman just said, the easiest solution is simply to adapt the plato config to remove that icons/ folder from the filename key in the plato config (you'll have to restart your device after). It's unlikely to ever need an update, so you should be able to keep it like that pretty much forever .

----

The other solution is to delete the Plato icon/book *from the Kobo UI*, then unpack it in the right place again. You'll also have to reboot after.

----

Sidebar: if you had other stuff being watched by KFMon, this effectively broke that, as KFMon aborts if it cannot find any of the requested files.

I'm releasing 0.6.0 today.

It contains a major feature for non-reflowable formats: the continuous fit-to-width zoom mode. The title label in the reader's top bar is now tappable and brings up a menu with a Zoom Mode sub-menu. You can also enable this zoom mode by performing an horizontal spread gesture. Don't forget to use to margin cropper tool to tightly fit the view frame to the underlying text block.

The use case for fit-to-width is when the text block is taller than the screen. This method therefore requires cutting the text block into chunks. By doing so, the probability of cutting lines in half is high. The way the other readers deal with this problem is by introducing a vertical overlap parameter that makes the scroller rewind by a small amount to account for the cropped line. I took a different approach: since the OCR layer is almost always present, we can find the rectangle of the line that contains the cut, find the line preceding it and re-adjust the cut to fall in-between the two lines. I've also introduced screen margins, at the center of the toolbar, to re-add the margins that we loose by tightly fitting the text block.

List of other changes:

• Add a contextual menu for categories. In particular, categories can now be renamed.
• Add a menu item in the matches menu to empty the trash.
• The hyphenation bounds for a language LANG, can be overridden by creating a file named LANG.bounds in the hyphenation-patterns directory. The content of this file shall be the left bound, followed by a space, followed by the right bound.

Just installed plato on my Kobo Aura H2O Edition 2 (Version 2) and launched it via ksm.

It works but the touch input is only correct if the rotation is set to 270 (for both the menu and the reading mode).

Thanks for trying.

Within the home view (the menu mode in your own terms), could you try to tap one of the four corners of the screen for each of the three other rotation values and report, for each value, on how the touch event is translated: Which icon did you tap? Which icon responded to the tap?

Sure, let me also correct myself (I am holding my device in portrait mode while testing, so if I say something like 'lower left corner', I mean the area right over the kobo logo, to the left side of the usb port):

• 0:
  Touching the lower right corner opens the menu, which is in the upper left corner, the ui is in landscape mode.
  Accordingly, touching the lower left corner where the search icon is presses the back button in the upper right corner.
  (Seems to be vertically and horizontally mirrored)
• 90 (Standard):
  The touch input works correctly but the ui is upside down.
• 180:
  Touching the lower left corner opens the search, which is in the upper right corner, the ui is in landscape mode.
  Accordingly, touching the upper left corner opens the menu which is located in the lower right corner.
  (Seems to be vertically and horizontally mirrored)
• 270:
  Touch works without problems and the ui is presented correctly!

Hope this helps! Feel free to ask me if you need anything else.
