Thank you mtravellerh !!
Can you add a "wanted new features" thread also?

Anders Eriksson · 04-20-2010, 04:37 PM

The links bugs discussion started in the "wanted new features" thread, but it is better that we continue here.

Was the description detailed enough, could you reproduce this bug?

On the first page is a cover with info about what calibre version was used.

On the second page is the "main section" with links, that works ok to follow with fbreader, but then you come to a "sub section" and the links on these pages are impossible to use, nothing happens, it seems just like a refresh/blink of the same page, please try this.

The above is working fine with the AdobeViewer (ADE) but then you have the problem with the "go back" that doesn't work.
It is this kind of things that I really dislike, that one has to learn that some things needs one viewer because of bugs. I would appreciate if all current features was really working (and really stable also) and documented well, before any new features are added .

Yes. The problem is with the news aggregator and not the reader so we have to change that.

What is the "the news aggregator"?
Do you mean that some settings in Calibre has to be changed?
Why does it work in ADE then?

Although I'm one of the PocketBook Team members, I'd like to report a little bug here as well:
- PocketNews software does not work with MacOS, only with Windows

...

HarryT · 04-25-2010, 02:54 PM

Two bugs that you're already aware of, but it's as well to make a note of them here:

1. The "double boot" which occurs with certain SD cards.

2. "Go back" not working with hyperlinks in the ADE ePub reader.

Thanks Harry, noted.

I suggest that we use continuous numbering of the confirmed bugs, so it is easier to track and discuss later.

3. - PocketNews software does not work with MacOS, only with Windows ...

4. Bug in Fbreader opening epub (news created by calibre) with hyperlinks, see the post #3 in this thread.

I have not got a confirmation on the last one, mtravellerh must have misunderstood, he speaks about an error in the news aggregator.

Harry can you check the BBC epub file and see what so strange with the second link, if it is not following correct epub then it should be reported to the calibre developers.
I have tested on the Sony prs-505, and there it works ok, as it does with ADE also on PB360.

I checked the news and it contained an absolute link instead of a relative one. I should have been more clear about this, sorry.

Bugs are noted, thanks a lot.

I have had an opportunity to play a little bit with PB 302.

I was unable to set parameters of WiFi connection.

Have a look at two following photos.

The first photo displays keyboard as it is supposed to look
the second photo is what I get when I try to set password.
There are more places where the "wrong" type of keyboard is displayed.
How the @#$%^! I am supposed to operate that when the device does not have up, down, left, right key?

HarryT · 05-02-2010, 07:51 AM

Doesn't the 5-way nav control act as up/down/left/right? That's how it works on the 360.

It doesn't have 5 way control key.
It has page forward and page back button on either side and the nice round button at the top, that works like Escape key.
I do not understand why they left out 5-way nav control.

HarryT · 05-02-2010, 08:18 AM

My apologies. I've not seen a 302, and the circular button below the screen in your photographs looks just like a nav control!

The 602 will have nav control, the 302 doesn't. You may simply use your pen and type in what you want to enter, can't you?
