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

Yes, it's possible to change the default sorting order. It might be a useful option to add, alhough the use of Calibre (with the tweak 'Specify how SONY collections are sorted') kind of makes it redundant. In any case, you can add this line to change the default sorting:

kbook.root.children.deviceRoot.children.collections.prototype.by = '<sorting>';

Possible values for <sorting> are title, author, date, order, fileName.

Do you mean you would like an action to go to a specific page, which you could bind to a key? I'm not sure it would be so much faster (and therefore worth the effort) than tapping the page number on the status bar...

Sorry, my expertise is rather limited in that area. I'll let kartu or another developer answer your question.

Where do I have to put that line? And you're right that the use of Calibre makes it redundant... a good point if I would use calibre to manage my books and collections

I like to manage my books in the same way I manage my reader

No I would just like an option in books (the category) allowing me to go to a page and not have to use the scrollbar which is not working so well in my case.
In fact it would be just like when you read an ebook and you are able to tap the page number on the status bar as you said, but for the book list.

Terisa de morgan:
You can put it in the main part of any addon. I would recommend making a new .js in the addons folder with an 'empty' addon framework (just copy the code from an existing addon and remove all of its code, options etc), and adding custom settings such as this one there. That enables you to add some custom options in every build, while not interfering with any updates from the main repo.

Also, I didn't know there were still people who use PRS+ but not Calibre

sengian:
I see what you mean. It might not be so easy to implement though (imho anyway), so if you wouldn't mind, please add it to the feature req thread (here)

You always learn new things And thank you very much, I'm trying it.

[Terisa de morgan]

Thank you very much, it's already working.

[quisvir]

You're quite welcome

And might I say, looking at your ticker, you're an amazingly fast reader!

[Terisa de morgan]

Yes, I am, I'm afraid, but no so much as other girls I know

Hi!

I updated PRS+ from 1.0.2 to 2.0.14 today, and I would like to get my custom KBookAssets and KBookIcon back.
I tried to flash with igorsk flasher, but the prs says there's not enough memory to make a new image of the settings.

How do I get back my logo and my icoset?
Thanks!

Hi,

I tried upgrading from 2.0.11beta to 2.0.14beta but I get a checksum error. Any idea how to get around this?

*edit*

I think I know what went wrong... KDE's Dolphin was letting me unmount before the files were done copying. After bricking it, a hard reset later, I ensured everything was copied over (using Krusader) and now I am happily running 2.0.14beta.

Try here (change the make_opt.sh in Universal-Flasher)
or
here (about building your own PRS+ custom installer)

Hi kartu,

i've ported "bubbleActions" from x50 to 300/505 StandardActions.js

Thus enabling doMenu, doRoot, doMark, doMarkMenu, doSize to be bound to keys.
Added doRotate as "normal" standardAction.

Port needs two new string-resources ACTION_doMark and ACTION_doMarkMenu to be translated.

Question: Is it ok to push this into the main-rep, or should I wait till 2.0.15 is released?

Hi Mark,

thanks. Push it to main, I don't think this would cause major issues.

PS
Please add "sleep" to that too, if you find it.

[Mark Nord]

Ok,
will push.

Sleep for 300/505 is handled directly in ebook.so somewhere triggering the boolean-key event kSuspend and kResume. AFSICS there is nothing I can do.

Sleep for x50 should be easier, there is ebook.doPowerSwitch to be utilized.
