Hey, peeps, I made a 2012 Calendar for the PRS T1. It's just a PDF file, but it has links/bookmarks for all the months/days, so you can write in notes, etc. Please feel free to use/distribute as you will.

Thanks -- that was super easy. Things have come a long way since I installed PRS+ on my 300!

Kartu, could you update the wiki official request to avoid request features just made?

thanks

I just upgraded to the latest release and for whatever reason, now my standby image (which is set to show "Current Book Cover") cuts off halfway down the page. Can anyone please advise as to how I can fix this? I would like the book cover to show over the entire screen, rather than just 1/2 or 2/3 of it.

In case it matters, I have a 950.

The current version of PRS+ chose to keep the aspect ratio of the book as the default. This behavior is different than calibre, whose default (by popular demand, over years of feedback) is to have the cover inside the ebook stretch to fit the full size of the screen. Calibre differs from PRS+ in that calibre has the option to switch to maintain the aspect ratio and thus gives you both options.

In the current version PRS+ does not have an option to allow the standby cover to stretch and fit the screen. I believe it is available if you build from source and will be an option in the public release sometime in the future.

In the interim I choose to use the 2.0.14beta build because this version is the last to stretch the cover to fit the screen as most folks expect. The developers chose to "fix their error" in later versions (maintain aspect ratio) without releasing the option to leave it the way it was (stretch to fit the screen).

But as I said in some future release the option will be there to stretch the cover to fit the screen.

Japes, dwanthny and others:
I will see if I can add the option to the current version before the final release...

Quisvir, You do a great job and if you can fit it in that would be great, but if you can't I'm perfectly content to wait.

I hope you had Merry Christmas and have a safe and Happy New Year.

dwanthny:
Thanks, actually I already pushed the new option to the v2-0 repository. So it will be in the final release

I won't add any other new options to v2.0 though, otherwise kartu will definitely (and rightfully) slap me for it

I understand the dilemma. Personally I always thought that since stretch to fit the screen was the unintentional default in betas 13 and 14 the "new" feature should have been adding the option to maintain the aspect ratio.

Good Reading.

Japes · 12-30-2011, 09:42 AM

Wow. Thank you so much. I thought i was doing something wrong. Thanks again.

seajewel · 12-30-2011, 04:33 PM

Thank you--I too would prefer that the image fit my PRS-950 as it used to.

minty95 · 12-31-2011, 06:50 AM

will this firmware work on a PRS500 ?, as I no longer use it as don't have the firmware 2 upgrade and so is sadly no longer usable as it can't read epub books (just bought a PRS T1)
