PRSCustomizer: Customize and personalize your PRS505 Reader - Page 22

Right justification is the exact opposite of left justification. What the 505 does by default is full justification. So if we had right justification, we'd have a ragged left side of the page.

JSWolf is correct. It should read "turn on left justification only", or something of the sort.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one guys, so let's move on.

Completely your call. It really is an extremely minor issue. I doubt anyone really cares about the wording (except maybe JSWolf).

Hi, I would like to ask for two additional features:

-Turn the reader into "lock" state when you slide the power switch, instead of "sleep" state. It would be basically the same, only the screen would not go blank. Maybe the word "Locked" could appear where the page number is usually placed. Some people mentioned this possibility in this thread.

-Turn the reader into "sleep" if you keep the power switch slided for a couple seconds, in case you don't want other people to see what you're reading (that's the only case I can imagine where sleep is more useful than locked).

Do you think those two could be possible?

I'll have to take a few photos to show the differences of left, right, and full justification so there can be no doubt that the wording is incorrect.

Maybe you should let it go. It's a trivial issue. Jeff said he doesn't agree and that we should move on, and I support his decision.

I don't know. There's a native lock-mode in advanced settings, but I don't know how accessible it is to xml/javascript.

I'll play close attention to this thread. Please, when you can take a look at it tell us whether it's possible or not. It's the only thing I miss from the 505.

Offhand I don't see any hooks in the xml offering access to the lock function. That does not mean it's not possible, perhaps someone else knows a way.

Jeff, remember that clock bug you fixed a while ago, where one could "lose" an hour? I don't know what it is, but I have the latest version of PRSC installed (I think... it could be 0.07), and I've just lost an hour. It's 23.46 here, and the Reader says 22.46. It was working properly yesterday. I don't know what caused it, but maybe you should take another look at the code.

No problems here. Is this reproducible?

Like I said, I have no idea what happened. Yesterday it was working fine, today I start it up an I've lost an hour. It looked exactly like the old bug, which I experienced before.

I'll keep an eye out if it happens again.

The old bug didn't involve loss of time...it had to do with the proper am/pm string being concatenated to the end of the string containing the time when displaying a 12hr clock between the hours of 12midnight and 1am. If you're losing time that's a new bug.

Did you happen to see any strange light flying around your car yesterday?
