Can you send me one of the problematic PDF privately?

You could do that by:

• Uploading the document using a file sharing service.
• Sending me the resulting link through a private message.

That's unfortunate!

I personally told Nickel not to import hidden files and directories (unconditionally) and haven't had any problems since.

I will mention this in the release notes.

This is a duplicate of #23.

For now, just banned:

[[libraries]]
thumbnail-previews = false

Don't really understand the need for a preview.

Had seen. But there is no answer as to whether it will be implemented and when.

Thanks for the document, I was able to reproduce. The problem will be fixed in the next version (it has to do with the fact that I've updated libjbig2dec, but not libmupdf).

I've released 0.9.11.

So how do I update?

I love the font rendering Plato does, but it's crashed on me one or two times when using the dictionary, and other quirks on my Clara HD. I look forward to using it in the future.

I'm also confused what "turn on wifi" does as it doesn't seem to do much with Plato ATM.

There could be insightful error messages in the log files: could you send me a private message with the contents of info.log (and archive.log if it exists) pasted in code blocks?

Enable WiFi should do the same thing as the WiFi toggle in Nickel. After a few seconds, you should see a notification mentioning your IP and ESSID name. The IP will also appear in the System Info page, at the top of the third section.

Hi baskerville,

I was just wondering what dithering is/why one would want it applied to a document.

Dithering is a technique that can increase the number of perceived colors on displays with limited colors.

It should be used when a document contains images with smooth color transitions.

Cool, thanks!
