Possible solution for full screen images

This could be done by a separate option on the Launcher ( similar to your file-renamer plan) but it needs more effort for sure.

It would be smart to mark a folder while reading inside the WAF than remove it using a launcher entry.
But, how to save something from a WAF that can be read by a shell script?

I ended up working also with this "delete folder" feature...mostly because I want to play with sqlite (and learn how to use it).
I have now a full working script to delete a folder based on a entry in localstorage database added while in Image Gallery.

I plan to add a new html, based on the bookmark page, to manage this.
It will have:
- list of scheduled deletions
- dropdown menu of available folders ==> tap on one to add to deletion list
- dropdown menu of scheduled deletions ==> tap on one to remove from deletion list
once happy with that, you'll have to close Image Gallery and run one script from a submenu in the launcher.

This sounds cool.

I learned that the windows image viewer lets me rotate images... That'll get things to work how I want them to.

And thanks for giving me the way to get Mangle to do what I want--have it create the files and then run the script. I promise, I'm a brunette.

"Delete folders" is ready.
I'm testing it right now: it still needs lots of GUI improvements but everything is there.

Still, I can't get its utility: I delete folders when I add new ones!
Moreover, I don't feel comfortable deleting files with a shell script (even if ultra-tested!)
So, use it at your own risk!!

While testing this final release, a quick and nice question:
which comics do you read?
I'm looking for good advices!

Well, I read manga, and lately I've enjoyed Omoni Naitemastu, Otome Youkai Zakuro, and Kuregehime. They're all unlicensed, so I'll leave it to your google fu.

Currently, I'm reading Oesterheld & Breccia's "Mort Cinder" and Abulí & Toth's "Torpedo 1936"!!

I'm also working on dropdown menus... As someone asked to cut the parent folder name, I came to two solutions:
- cutting every parent folder's name to 4 or 5 characters and adding "..."




- cutting only parent folders whose name is > 45 characters (i.e the maximum number of characters in every line of dropdown menu)



I think the second solution is smarter: first solution is a mess if you use parent folder = comic's name and subfolders = volume 01, volume 02...

As you can see, if a parent folder doesn't have any subfolder, it is displayed as it is...

Let me know what do you think!

VI like the second version better too, but I'd have more chars at the beginning. "The s..." is just too little to go on.

[silver18]

Ok, I made it "adaptive": it removes only the needed number of characters to display the full subfolder's name!
I'm working on a popup to show full path if long tap on a dropdown menu's item!

[silver18]

Besides "delete folders", next release will also have a "rename files" script...
It renames all files that aren't already in 0...1...2 form.

Mr Silver, Is there a way to get the "Scroll Down" more fast in the Portrait Mode?... I know there is an "Adjust Scroll > Increase" option but it doesn't seems to get Faster...

BTW, The app is gettin better and better everyday

"Adjust scroll" changes ONLY the amount of scrolling when tapping on scroll bar.
The default is about 600px (i.e the whole page): it scrolls down to the end of the page.
Increse & Decrease are used to change this value:
- decrease will decrease the page scrolling of 330px making it be 270px (ideally the best solution for 3 "lines" comics)
- increase will increase the page scrolling of 330px

The page refreshing speed is something I faced some time ago: I managed to increase it by preloading images.
I will try to trim down something in the code, but I don't promise anything!

Look into some free software called Mangle. It was developed here. It'll rotate the landscape images. Withe the new rename script in the next version, you can't go wrong. I use the kindle 3 profile without a problem.
