But it was un-checked (I made sure), when I turned on the Kobo wifi in order to use the beta-web browser to see if I could copy from mine&partner's refugee poetry project site onto KoReader's note app.

And instantly KOBO OS began updating - from 4.20's (to 4.33). I cut the house's internet connection, but I was still too late. And following that it was baby clean (with books, however) and refused to accept a koReader update, but instead started over with choice of language, while demanding Kobo desktop on the Mac be opened. Which then wanted an update - so, very narrow path I did not know where would lead: koReader install prevention or what?

Of course, that option does not turn off either syncing or firmware updated. It explicitly states that it is for the "Background sync" and the comment refers to the "daily Automatic Sync". When you turn that on, the device will do a full sync once a day during the selected time period. If you turn it off, that full sync will not happen. The device will sync at various other times based on what you are doing. Opening or closing a purchased book will sync the reading status of that book. Going to the the book list will trigger a sync for any new books as will going to the home screen. There are timers involved that prevent it happening every time, but, apart from turning of WiFi, the device will sync when it needs to. Some of the syncs will check for firmware updates, but, not all.

Now that you say it that way, it is obvious that the Kobo as device and w/o hacks would need to do just that.

I am just paranoid, I guess.

For anyone seeing an error like this:

./koreader.ps1 : File C:\path\to\koreader.ps1 cannot be loaded. The file C:\path\to\koreader.ps1 is not digitally sign
ed. You cannot run this script on the current system. For more information about running scripts and setting execution

    + CategoryInfo          : SecurityError: (:) [], PSSecurityException

It's because of the Execution Policy, which doesn't allow unsigned scripts to run by default: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/pow...powershell-7.2

Run this command to temporarily bypass the Execution Policy:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope Process

What exactly do you mean? Do you mean you don't want .directories to be scanned?

You will have to create a directory for these images that begins with a period. Then put the graphics in there and Nickel will not scan that directory if you are setup correctly.

Such as .images (notice the period).

Alternately known as a "full stop".

Which is a term I've never liked. I prefer to call it what it is. It's a period.

Not in the UK, or many other non-US regions.

Hello, i did the one click installation using the windows install script from post #2 having downloaded OCP-KOReader-v2022.08.zip

Now i don't need any of this anymore so i want to uninstall whatever the script did and bring my kobo to previous state. Can you please give me instructions on how to do this? Do i just delete whatever is in the .adds folder?

The concept that not everyone accepts his personal preferences in every single aspect of life as fundamental and immutable laws of the Cosmos is one that particular commenter hasn't managed to grasp yet. You get used to it after a while

I grew up calling them "full stops" too - though it was only when I got older that I realized the reason for the name was likely to differentiate them from the "partial stop" of other punctuation marks like commas and semi-colons.
