Thomass: are you sure about it? Did you try to wait some seconds before sliding on the top bar? I've set some sleep time to be sure that the bar was visible when the shorcuts were set back

there is two different modes of KOReder one which runs on the framework and the other starts after killing the framework. when I use the second one and turn back to framework shortcut doesn't work at all.

You can try this with the third or fourth options of KOReader on the KUAL.

Ahhh yes sure! I was thinking you did use the Kindle Menu embed shortcut only to launch it. Right, I knew that problem, but to fix it outside kindle menu you must edit the file koreader.sh in koreader folder, adding these lines at the end of it:

Code:

/mnt/us/extensions/kindlemenu/bin/shortcut.sh
/mnt/us/extensions/kindlemenu/bin/batterylevel.sh

thanks will try now.

Probably in the future I will edit the "Enable status bar shortcut" and "Disable" one, to make them doing this operation automatically

I edited the koredear_launcher.sh to make it stop the framework , then no need to edit other files.

just modified the related line into:

Code:

/mnt/us/koreader/koreader.sh --framework_stop /mnt/us/documents

With editing the launcher like above I think it is ok (for me) now.

Thanks for your fast response.

I seem to have turned my paperwhite 1 into a calculator with this......
Short of a reboot, how do I exit the very nice calculator and get back to reading, please?
Ok, I have the method. Only problem is that File Exit is squinched right up to the bezel and very hard to touch.
Nice, though!

If you have a bit of patience, I'm making a better-looking calculator app for Kindle Menu

Meanwhile, you may want to check the new Kindle Menu v. 0.6, that features a brand-new image gallery app!

scurrilous insinuations that galculator isn't beautiful and practical!!!

Okay, point taken

Perhaps I will get back around to a re-release.

Aeris · 11-05-2013, 09:06 AM

ahah Twobob!

I'd like instead to ask you (if possible) a re-release of the great rgbpaint, with these improvements:
- standard canvas dimension: 940 x 700 (to fill kindle PW screen; on Touch there would be scrollbars visible unless a different canvas size is set for this device)
- fix the bug of drawing when scrollbars are visible (do you remember? scrollbars moving instead of the pointer while begin to draw)
- bigger menubar, as you did for midori

only if you have time and wish to, eh!

twobob · 11-05-2013, 09:08 AM

okay. I'll dig around at some point then and see if I didn't lose the sources for that...

The joy of dead drives

maybe I published a diff

Aeris · 11-05-2013, 09:15 AM

Okay... nothing so vital btw, if you lost sources don't struggle!

twobob · 11-05-2013, 09:43 AM

diff + original sources = recovered. I'll look around. Right in middle of trying to build gtk 2.8.0 atm. :\ glerk. Low joy factor.

I've found a binary from baf posts in the galculator thread... it should be good for you! I'll put it into the next release, 0.7
