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

[quisvir]

You can't 'call' an option using onSettingsChanged. onSettingsChanged itself is called by Core.settings after changing the option - and the setting is saved by Core.settings as well. To properly 'call' an option, you have jump to a temporary setting node, like is done in the ChangeEpubCSS action. Alternatively, you can have your action change the option value directly, and then call Core.settings.saveOptions(addon).

To summarise, a number of issues have been fixed (#277, #301, #304, #305), Book Search (all books in a folder) has been added, Frotz has been renamed IntFic (and on 600/x50 can now handle all .z5, .z8 and .zblorb files), and Browse Folders has had a couple of fixes for its archive handling.

Sincerely,
Ben.

Thanks.

What are .z5, .z8, & .zblorb files?

These are Interactive Fiction files for the Z-machine. They allow authors to distribute their games widely, since Z-machine interpreters (like Frotz and Nitfol) have been written for many different platforms. .z8 allow for a bigger game than .z5 and .zblorb ones can also include graphics and sound (however on the PRS+ Interactive Fiction App they just run without graphics and sound).

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-machi...interpreter%29 for more details.

Sincerely,
Ben.

Thank you quisvir - I try to mangage it.

quisvir:

Question:
Is there a command/function which saves not already saved data in system-cache?

Reason:
I work on my auto-restart-code. For the 350 your code (formatting non existend cards) works better. Sometimes my dirty-reader-crashing code prevents to save reading-progress. After a restart the 'old' progress is used. Very unconvenient.

Idea:
When first saving properly the system-cache and then let restart reader it could solve the problem.

Another question:

Is it possible to use a CONFIRM DIALOGUE inbetween a SWITCH-block?

I have a ACTION, which functions well:

{
	name: "RestoreLastPRS",
	title: LA("ACTION_PRS_RESTORE_LAST"),
	group: "SAVE_RESTORE",
	icon: "BACK",
	action: function () 
	{
		var dialog = kbook.model.getConfirmationDialog();
		dialog.onOk = function () 
			{	
			Core.shell.exec('cp -R -f /Data/database/system/PRSPlus/PRSave3/prsp /opt0');
			}
		dialog.onNo = function () 
			{
			break;
			}
		dialog.openDialog(LA("MSG_QUESTION_RESTORE_PRS"), 0);
	}
},

I try to convert it in an option. Following works well as an 'Action'-Option:

restoreData = function (type) 
	{
		switch (type) 
		{
...
			
		case 'UNDOPRS':
			Core.shell.exec('cp -R -f /Data/database/system/PRSPlus/PRSave3/prsp /opt0');
			break;
		}

But when adding the confirm dialogue, nothing will happen:

restoreData = function (type) 
	{
		switch (type) 
		{
...
	case 'UNDOPRS':	
{
var dialog = kbook.model.getConfirmationDialog();
		dialog.onOk = function () 
			{	
			Core.shell.exec('cp -R -f /Data/database/system/PRSPlus/PRSave3/prsp /opt0');
			}
		dialog.onNo = function () 
			{
			break;
			}
		dialog.openDialog(LA("MSG_QUESTION_RESTORE_PRS"), 0);
		}
}

Where is my mistake? Tried lot of tweaking: using or not using {}, [], ';', 'break', 'return', ...
I tried it with much simpler code, no chance.

Thank you

Yes, there is:

kbook.model.commitCache();

To make the switch work, remove the {} from the case statement. So you get something like this:

Spoiler:

switch (type) {
	case 'BLABLA':
		// code
		break;
	case 'UNDOPRS':
		var dialog = kbook.model.getConfirmationDialog();
		dialog.onOk = function () {
			Core.shell.exec('cp -R -f /Data/database/system/PRSPlus/PRSave3/prsp /opt0');
		}
		dialog.openDialog(LA("MSG_QUESTION_RESTORE_PRS"), 0);
}

The break statement at the end of a case is optional. Without it, the next case(s) will be executed as well. Additionally: getConfirmationDialog resets the dialog, so you don't have to define a 'do nothing' onNo function.

Thank you!
Restart working. Sadly the switch doesn't work... But at least I know that it should.

Is there any way to get your code?
Is there any clon copy?

Thanks

There is no repository.
Following the part of the code which makes troubles (I'm actually splitting my code):
Analogus_Options.zip

There are 2 problems:

1) Function 'SystemfontData': there I want to add a YES/NO-question. It doesn't work as suggested above.

2) Function 'batteryData': I want to store the option-values to be restored on a restart of the reader. I didn't get it working so far.


A.

Edit: saving OPTION working now...

Question to developers:

I have made a FUNCTION in say A.JS. How do I call the function in B.JS when needed?

PRS+ is GPL licensed, so if you are distributing alternative builds, you must provide sources of them as well.

Depends how those js files are initialized. In general, each function (and js is normally initialized as a separate function) has it's own namespace. If files are combined prior to be initialized, then it's the same namespace and everything should be visible.

As one learning JS from the beginning and playing with the code this would have had made no sense in the past. But knowledge is growing, with knowledge the code and I will of course put it in a repository (when I'm able to manage this challenge ;-).
Sorry, I'm new to programming and the world of open source...

Thanks for helping with calling functions as well.

Just installed 2.1 Alpha on my 950.

Outstanding! The ability to assign Press-and-Hold Button functions to things such as Change CSS and Rotation saves about a zillion tap-and-waits.

Thanks guys!

I've prs-505 and prs+ 2.1.0 alpha.
ebook, in epub, is simple html file with links inside it, like 2 above.

As far as I understand, when you click on 1st link you should jump to 2nd one, it's working like that in calibre or in sigil, but on prs you'll jump to the end of book.

Is it prs+ error, or sony firmware?
