Hi folks! A quick question to our developers :-): Typing in some notes you always get from the reader the suggestion for a word completion. You kow: type 'say' and it gives you e.g. 'saying' and you can spare some typing.
Is it possible to add a setting that deactivates this standard behaviour? Because I typ fast and the guess of the reader is mostly wrong. So I find it quite disturbing having always words continuosly flashing up. A second reason: I think you could spare some battery if it doesn't always search and print new results for everythink you type.
Just a thought. Perhaps someone can tell me something about it.
Have a nice day!!

Sorry my bad, meant Fsk.img from folder \PRSPInstaller\Sony Reader\software\firmware\

Filesize looks good, sorry so no idea whats wrong.

Are you you flashing from SD-Card or from IM?

If from IM, try using a (fresh formated) SD-Card, or backup your books and format IM. It might got corrupted.

Just flashed a current build flawlessly

Feature added to TouchSettings in the latest revision. Let me know if it works correctly; I didn't get a chance to test it thoroughly.

Hi

I used PRS+ on my PRS 650 for a long time and the games Mahjong & Free cells worked perfectly. Due to some problem I had to have my reader replaced with another PRS 650 and now I need to install PRS+ again.

I happened to see the notice on project site that games in the new version of PRS+ are very unstable. Are they more unstable than the previous versions? Should I still play them? (I'm addicted to those games on my previous 650)

Thanks
Anne

Hi mimosavj,

I have a 650 and I regularly use MahJong, Free Cell and Chess and have no problems. However, if I take a look at some of the other games as well, that's when problems start occurring!

Sincerely,
Ben.

Hi quisvir, I made a small test and it worked great on my 650! Why do they call it a 'reader'? It is clearly a 'reader-writer' :-).
Thanks and all the best...

? Editing text memos on SD card

Dear Developers, I have one question saving my Text Memos to SD card.
E.g. I write a new memo and save it. I use the option to save it to SD card.
If I now take the SD card to a pc I can see my note.txt file. Great!
Then still on my pc I change that note.txt and save it. Then I put back that
card to the reader and under Applications I want to read the changed file.
BUT Text Memos still shows me the file with the old text. Even if I delete the
new txt file from the SD card, it still shows me that (old) file.

Does it mean we have still on the internal memory a cache for every SD file?
How can I change txt files on a pc and then continue to edit them on the reader?

Perhaps you can give me some hints.
Thanks!

It was from freshly formatted IM. As I said if it reconnect and flash with the d/led version it is fine, I am running it now, but it doesn't like my modified version with a new png in it

I will wait for the next release and try again, not a big issue I just like to have my details on the ereader incase it goes "missing"

Hi,
sorry for that, but if you are build from default-repository clone, maybe the new show-custom text option on standby-screen can somewhat compensate.

Edit database/ system/ PRSPlus/ customtext.cfg to your like and activate mentioned option.

I was wondering if there are any information or guides for writing software for the PRSPlus.

Hi steman,

The SaveNotepadData addon simply hooks into the save process and "steals" the data and saves it off somewhere else. It does not stop the reader's usual save process. So there will be two copies of the information on your reader: one is a TXT file, the other is a Sony Reader .NOTE file.

But you got me thinking, so I have added an option to SaveNotepadData that allows you to override a Text Memo with the contents of a TXT file (of the same name) if the TXT file has been changed. Basically, in the situation you describe, when you click on the Text Memo, you will see the contents of the TXT file with the changes. (But, unless you edit and then save the note, the .NOTE file on the reader won't be changed.)

You can actually turn the "Override Text Memo with TXT File" option off, and then when you click on the Text Memo you will see the original content of the .NOTE file. Turn the option on, click on the Text Memo again, and you will see the contents of the TXT file (if it is different to the note).

But then if you save the Text Memo, the TXT file will also be overwritten, bringing the two into sync again.

Does this make sense? Is this what you were hoping for?

Sincerely,
Ben.
