Many thanks Ben for your help; that explains where I was going wrong.

>>I am pretty sure it would be impossible to replace the main Calendar icon

Quite understand. I think that the impossible has already been done with PRS+!

Hello all,

I have a little issue with PRS+ menu using PRS600. I have the folder browser entry displayed 2 times in Other/Other applications.

One below the bar, one over.

Removing line 200 '{ name: "BrowseFolders", parent: "more"},' in script/core/compat/600_config.js removed the one over the line.

Could someone tell me how I could remove the one below as I would prefer this configuration?

Thanks

PS: I think that is a bug nevertheless

Hi sengian,

I have had this problem on my 600 for a very long time. I think it is related to a data setting lingering from a much earlier version of PRS+. It is caused by the fact that you customised the home menu, replacing Browse Folders with something else. So when the "More" node is being set up, the "Browse Folders" entry that is above the line is added (you have manually removed this by commenting out that line in the config file); the one below the line is added by menu customiser which thinks it needs to add "Browse Folders" because it is no longer in its default position on the home page.

A possible fix occurs to me. (kartu may know more!) You could remove Browse Folders from the default layout of the nodes. Replace the entry in line 232 of 600_config.js with what you actually want there. Then uncomment out the Browse Folders entry in line 211. When you restart your reader, you should end up with Browse Folders only appearing above the line. (You may end up with a duplicate of something else below the line, but then you can just comment that out and everything will be perfect!) Hope it works!

Sincerely,
Ben.

Many thanks!!!

I will try it soon, but what you describe is exactly my situation.

EDIT: I tried this and the results where interesting to say the least.
Using the last version, not modified, replacing browse folder in the home menu get
me 2 entries under the bar. Using your suggestion with "collections", I get Browse
folder under but I will stick with this, I prefer it to my hack.

Guys, I'm confused, exactly what do you want to see in home menu / "more"?

Hi kartu,

What I want to see: One "Browse Folders" entry in the More menu.
What I saw: Two "Browse Folders" entries in the More menu.

Here's how it happened. (Although, it was a looooong time ago, many, many installs of my custom build, but it may have started before I was using a custom build. I just don't remember!) Originally, after installing PRS+ for the first time, "Browse Folders" was in the bottom left slot of the 600 Home page. Using the Menu Customiser, I replaced it with something else, (probably the Handwritings app). At that point, "Browse Folders" appeared in the More menu.

Some time after, again I don't remember when exactly but clearly after I was using a custom build, I discovered that I had two "Browse Folders" entries in the More menu. To get rid of one of them, I commented out line 212 in 600_config.js:

{ name: "BrowseFolders", parent: "more"},

I am still left with one "Browse Folders" that I assumed was being put there by Menu Customiser.

Sincerely,
Ben.

I see, will have a look into customizer code.

Hi kartu,

Is it simply that you don't need to define

{ name: "BrowseFolders", parent: "more"}

if it is also going to be assigned to defaultLayout? I noticed the PRS+ error recently added refers to BookHistory as well. Both of these are assigned to "more" and yet both also appear in the defaultLayout.

On the 650, by comparison, neither are assigned to "more", just the defaultLayout.

Sincerely,
Ben.

Could be, Ben.

Just installed the latest RC and as usual found a significantly improved version. This time it also included a few features I had no idea I wanted.

Thanks a lot once again for the excellent work you continue to do with this - it has certainly enhanced my experience of both the 505 and 950 a great deal.

[Analogus]

Thanks again for the improvements made since the latest RC!

- The new single-tab-options give more and more freedom to configure the reader to its own wishes and usage. In combination with...

- ...the new zoom-options it's now very quick and easy to zoom in let's say a PDF: I for my part tab once in the right upper corner --> reader goes into panable locked zoom mode --> one further single tab zoomes me exactly into the place I want, a double-tab leads to zoom out the page - PERFECT!!!

- The new time-options for shut-down and auto-sleep-mode is most awaited by myself.
Thank you QUISVIR. Maybe a small glitch: auto-shutdown ignores options for shutdown. It always shows the last page (including the 'sleeping'-hint in the lower right corner. For my part this is perfect.

Belfaborac & Analogus: I'm glad you're enjoying the new additions

I'll see if I can get the auto-shutdown to display the same as regular shutdown; thanks for the report.

A small question : how does sudoku work in touch models (350)? I'm able to change the level but I can't do anything else.
