KPVBooklet not working under PW3 5.7.3.1

[Eisfreak7]

Hi
My Kindle PW3 just updated to 5.7.3.1, and KPVBooklet stopped working. It worked in the firmware version before that (5.7.2 I think), even though according to the readme, 5.6.5 is the last "officially" supported version.
After the update, I reinstalled KPVBooklet (together with python, screensavers, usbnet if it matters). I restarted mutliple times and tried to re-install kpvbooklet.
Epubs don't show up and pdfs are opened with kindles default viewer.

Can anyone confirm that it is a problem with KPVBooklet, or did I do something wrong?

Does that mean KUAL and MrPI are also installed, and still working, after the update?

Does "I reinstalled KPVBooklet" also mean you ran the KPVBooklet uninstaller before each re-install?

It could make a difference, because of the way mime types are stored in a SQLite database and the way the install/uninstall queries are written.

Yes, KUAL and all its extensions are still installed and working, just the .bin files needed re-installing. With MrPI I assume you mean the "helper"? If so, thats installed.

I didn't run the uninstaller, I'll try that.

Edit: The uninstaller fixed it, thanks!

Great!
Sometimes I guess correctly.

I don't use KPVbooklet myself, but I was recently reading its code and wondered about the way the install/uninstall was written.

I guess you just answered my questions about that -
I.E: They could be improved.

Yes I should have thought of trying that myself, I guess I just assumed the installer would simply overwrite everything.

It may be more intuitive if it would "just work" without the uninstaller, but the github gives the impression that noone's really actively maintaining it so I doubt that'll happen. I'm just happy that it works at all, the seemless integration is much better than always using the koreader file manager (opening KUAL, then the filemanger takes some precious seconds ).

Very similar to the think'o that the author made -
Assuming that anything which already exists should not be changed.

That is: None of the document type associations pre-exist.
Which of course, breaks when Amazon adds one that KPVbooklet wants to use.

I.E: Any existing association should be checked for being one of the installer's additions (that could be replaced) or one of Amazon's, which should be recorded (so changes can be undone) before being replaced.

= = = =

Translation: The current situation could be improved.

Just uninstalled and installed again, and it works
