New Multitasking feature for Onyx Boox. Wanna try it?

Booxtor · 04-23-2013, 12:32 PM

Hi guys!

If you want to try the new Multitasking feature here is it:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ltitasking.rar

Unzip and copy "apps" and "lib" folders and the update.oar file directly from archive in the folder which appears when you connect your Boox to the computer (internal memory of your device, where you usually create folders for your library).

In your device click on update.oar

After reboot (automatically) you can use it.
Please note that this tool is still beta!

The feature works on M92, i62HD and i62HD Firefly (cross platform)

On "i" models in the Task Bar instead of an icon for Task Manager there is an empty place right to the Menu icon - click on it.

Your feedback is welcome.

Hi Booxtor,

I've tried to install it in my i62HD but I cannot see the empty place. I have clicked on update.oar and the Boox has restarted, but afterwards I cannot see the change. When I open a book I have the menu icon (it looks like a page), a refresh icon (a circular arrow) and the progress bar. Should it be there?

First Impression - I like it. It is very fast when switching between two documents.

A small bug on my m92 :-
Suppose documents A and B are open. After closing document B device returns to explorer. Now there are two ways to access document A :
1) via task manager icon in toolbar - device will hang in this case
2) clicking on its actual icon - device does not hang in this case and i can continue with my work

wunderbar!

it works! with PDF Reader, Scribble.app, explorer, FBReader, Wikipedia (but not with Coolreader, Picsel Viewer, HTML Viewer or cbr-viewer) max. 4 tasks are allowed.

it remembers the different tools choosen in each different PDF! , but not the dictionary, when i open a dictionary in one pdf it shows also in another pdf, where i did not choose it

Thank you, on i62M HD - works!
Great joy!
The problem that I found, long tap - turn causes closures of tasks (documents). So it should be?
No icon (near the "menu"), but responds well to push! :-)))

Спасибо на i62M HD работает!
Радость большая!!!
Проблема, найденная мной, долгий тап - вызывает очередь закрытий задач (документов). Так и должно быть?
Иконки нет (около меню), но на нажатие реагирует хорошо! :-)))

After update no menu icon, nothing has changed.

Have you tried to install from the root directory of internal memory?

This worked for me. I was trying to update from a subfolder. Thanks!

Defenderland · 04-23-2013, 06:39 PM

"root" is a subfolder!
And the files are extracted into "multitasking" subfolder.
This explanation is garbage.

Try it: extract it from the "multitasking" subfolder, i.e. put the "apps" and "lib" folders and "update.oar" at lowest level possible in your internal memory. Then run update.oar from your onyx.

Error message:
Nothing to do with file "update.oar".

No wonder why Linux doesn't get a feet on the ground. 30 years behind.

RobinDesBois · 04-23-2013, 06:58 PM

You should NOT extract the content of the files "apps" and "lib", however. Please note that.

Defenderland · 04-23-2013, 07:01 PM

What does that mean I "should not extract the content of the files "apps" and "lib""?
"apps" and "lib" are not files, they are folders.
