PRS+: Enhanced firmware for Sony Reader, Folders, Games & more - Page 135

Ripplinger · 04-18-2011, 11:00 PM

I have the same problem, I can never get the userStyle.css files to work since I installed the newest version. When I first russified and then installed PRS+ the old way, I could get the default .css file to work to use my selected font, but I never had choices to change the font within the reader after that. They were never under the options for me. With the newest .exe version of PRS+, I now have various .css files to select, but none of them do anything.

One thing I noticed though when I convert my epubs is that it doesn't work if you leave out the quotes around any instances of the font name. You might try adding them, such as:

font-family: "adobegaramondpro";

But I wish I could figure out my basic problem and not have to convert each ebook to specify the font.

If you want to post a sample epub (a single page will do, no copyright) and the userStyle.css you're using I'll try to help.

Also, I think the quotes are only necessary if the font-family name contains spaces.

Paths to the custom CSS file used by boroda / amutin firmwares and PRS+ is different.
PRS+ custom CSS file is:
/database/system/PRSPlus/style.css

It's better NOT to use name style.css, put there whateverYouWantToCallIt.css and switch it on via book viewer settings.

Thank you, I'll give that a try this evening.

Big thanks to jackie_w for helping resolve my issue, all the various .css files are now loading correctly. I was using a wrong directory, and had some extra files not needed.

Edit (I missed a post):

PRS+ custom CSS file is:
/database/system/PRSPlus/style.css

That was part of my problem. That was one of many paths I had tried in the past that didn't work for me after reading through threads here, but the path that jackie_w had me use and that worked perfectly now is:
/database/system/PRSPlus/epub/style.css

/database/system/PRSPlus/epub/style.css

could get overwritten without notice, if you change CSS style options via PRS+ settings menu.

jackie_w · 04-20-2011, 08:38 AM

Yes, I think what Ripplinger should have quoted me as saying is:

Quote:

The PRSPlus default directory for the customised css files is /database/system/PRSPlus/epub

It would be a bad idea to call your carefully-prepared customised css file style.css as this name is used internally by PRSPlus.

So far only on 300.

VICTORSJG · 04-20-2011, 02:29 PM

Kartu, are you going to plan incorporate the media tag for the rest of the models in the next release?

thanks

kartu · 04-21-2011, 02:32 AM

Very unlikely.

Hi

I am new to PRS+ and I have a question about Browse Folder. How can I setup the folder hierarchy on my PRS350 via Calibre? For example, I would like to arrange the books as

Thriller Adventure:
-Author1
++Book1.epub
++Book2.epub
++Series 1
***Book1OfSeries1.epub
***Book2OfSeries1.epub
++Series 2
***Book1OfSeries2.epub
***Book2OfSeries2.epub
-Author2
...
Historical Fiction
-Author1
++Book1.epub
++Book2.epub
++Series 1
***Book1OfSeries1.epub
***Book2OfSeries1.epub
++Series 2
***Book1OfSeries2.epub
***Book2OfSeries2.epub

When I use Calibre to send books to Sony, all the books are arranged in Authors/Title

Thanks
Mimosa

Use save to disk to set up how you want your books arranged then drag 'n' drop the files to your Sony rather than use calibre to send...

I paste form the issue 111:
"found it.
Actually this affects all models.
Changes to SD/MS card scan settings are applied only after restart (or USB connect/disconnect)
"

I rebooted the system 2-3 times, every time I add 2-3 books on the SD card and every time, the system report the new books.
However this happens only if I remove the sd card from the sony and use it in a SD card reader in the pc.
If I attach the reader (with the SD card inserted in the Sony) to the pc and put books in the sd, the scan is not performed.
It is really strange, I know it is a really particular problem.
Anyway, have you any suggestion on remove a particular cache file or other to avoid this?
Thanks

There might be some yet not quite understood detail. I don't have any more ideas at the moment.

Anyway old way of completely disabling SD card scan (including cache) will return in the next release.
