Firmware updates, dictionaries, fonts and third-party software for M92 - Page 54

If you select Layout in the menu (of the old pdf reader) you can select scroll pages. I guess this might just do what you need. Cropping the margins above and below also reduces the effect that you see too much of just blank space. However, cropping then has to be done externally.

Cool, thanks. Will try this.

And this one I also had on my mind as a feature for the M92 wish list. After all it can already hide empty margins. A mode to hide (or reduce) empty top and bottom page margins and using this in conjunction with the scroll-pages layout you mention above would be very very cool indeed.

Still waiting for multitasking. Fast switching between several files and the skribblingapp would be great.

Look how the Pocketbookguys did it

And another vote for:

In fact, allowing the user to configure the bottom tool bar with menu icons would be great; eg so that I could further replace the "volume" icon with the "hide margin" icon, etc.

Can I add please, annotation capability for .doc, txt and rtf. That's pretty essential and would vastly increase the m92's uses for office and university purposes...

I just bought a m92 and updated to this firmware because I had a problem with the PDF metadata but it did not solve the problem. I can't find the toggle switch to disable metadata and enable file name.

My m92 is not recognized by my mac so I copied the PDFs using an SD card. I set the metadata myself with a tool called PDFInfo.
On the m92 it appears as "ÿpG" and "ÿPh" (it's not really a p but I don't know how to type this character)

What's the solution to either display metadata correctly or use the filename ?
Thanks for you help.

Hi,
In the menu "setup" there is an option to choose between filenames and metatda.

Oops. Mine is. What's your Mac OS version and Mac model?

I have a MacBook Pro (17 inch, last model *before* Unibody) with Snow Leopard on it (I think, anyway the last OS version one could buy on DVD media).

Cheers,
Joerg

Randy11, I have a "settings" menu in which I have "Language, Date, Default Font, Preferred Application, ..." but I can't find any toggle.

HerrB I have a macbook air last 2012 / Mountain Lion. When I connect the m92 it put itself in USB mode but nothing appears in the Finder. No internal storage neither the flash disk.

PS: I have a white m92 firmware 1.7 20120626 is this can be of any help

If you want to update the device, format the SD card, copy the update onto it again and try updating along the instructions in the first post of this thread.

ronin101 · 09-21-2012, 04:49 AM

Hello Por,

I've already updated the device it's just that the zip is still on the card.
My problem is this stupid display of metatag of the two PDF I put there. I made sure that the metadata are correct and visible on windows or osx. How can I display a correct title ? This shouldn't be so hard for a reader to display the book's title

ronin101 · 09-21-2012, 07:14 AM

OK I solved my problem myself. I used a tools called PDFInfo to set the metadata and this tool added the "ÿp" characters (at the beginning of the title) which did not appear in OSX or Windows.
This does not explain why the end of the title is not displayed.
I then used another tool called pdf-meta and the reader now display the metadata correctly

I'd consider this not really a problem of the M92. It's Apple. It seems they have removed drivers fom Mac OS X. I have also heard of SD card readers stopping working after people upgraded their machines to newer Mac OS versions.

ronin101 · 09-21-2012, 09:47 AM

But shouldn't the m92 appears as standard mass storage like when using a USB stick ?
