It was just that I switched to "connect to folder" in Calibre and ended up with two sets of metadata (though moved books to a different folder in the mean time), and assumed my search issue was related.

I carried out a search for a book, which Koreader found, but I got a file does not exist error when I tried to open it (though I could open it fine in file explorer). I think it might be a comma in the filename causing an issue?

Version 597 has Wikipedia working with a question "Do you want to turn WiFi on?" Which will turn it on after two tries. What has me worried is that it appears to stay on. Is there a way, inside Koreader, to turn WiFi off? (I can turn it off in the Start Menu, for now.)

Great work bye the way, you even have the GH current release caught up to the OTA server. OTA appears to work on my Kobo AuraHD now too, with the same two tries to turn on WiFi, and staying on (I think).

Luck;
Ken

Ken, right now the faster way of turning off wifi on kobos is to suspend your device. As you can look in the suspend.sh script this disables the wifi.

OK, looks like it should work, I don't see it being turned back on after suspend.

Thanks.

File Manager

.. and another question for the Koreader's developers.

Is there a way (some setting in some file that I could tweak) to make the File Manager see other file types than eBooks.
It would be handy if I could rename, copy, move some files that I want backed up.

I can do that now with 'Kobo Start Menu' but I have to create or edit scripts for every file.
Its easier for me to reboot to Android for all that.

With Koreader's File Manager it would be even easier.

Why is it two tries, by the way?

Sergey's launcher includes a "Notepad" App. Koreader can read anything the Coolreader3 Engine can (you may need to add your file format to the cr3 configuration files, it has been posted about here on MR) but it doesn't give you the editing capabilities a Notepad app would.

Havn't tested it, but at frontend/document/credocument.lua is a function register (at the very end of the document) that lists the allowed filetypes. Not sure if this really is the right place to enhance the list, but maybe worth a try...

Excellent!
Thank you WS64, very helpful as always ...

While that certainly works well as a hack, the place where it really happens is here: https://github.com/koreader/koreader...anager.lua#L61 - the file_filter function. You can add additional tests or "return true" unconditionally.

Of course programing is a better way to implement these and other very useful real File Manager functions like renaming files or choose folders etc., since I can't program yet, that hack should suffice for now ;o)
Thanks for the direction though.

If you are expanding the files that Koreader's File Manager can display, some thought might be given to adding a remount of the external SD as Read/Write, so the existing long press features can function. Maybe have the long press of a listed item offer an "Edit mode" option that would make the external SD RW and offer the existing actions plus an "Exit Edit mode" to put it back to RO.

The existing actions available on a long press are: Copy, Paste, Cut, and Delete. I have Copied files from the /mnt/sd and Pasted to /mnt/onboard and Deleted files on the external SD card, using the functions.

I have remounted the external uSD as RW in the Koreader launching script and had the existing functions working. I had it for awhile to test it out and then remarked it out, as I don't really need the functions, right now. Since I don't know the reasoning for having the external uSD RO in the first place, I am reluctant about leaving it RW all the time.

Luck;
Ken

Actually I think we should open the filemanager at least for images (and of course, display them when clicked).
This way we for sure have an exit for people who accidently did not wait for Nickel to process koreader.png

Right, the long press "Delete" action should work fine on the internal uSD, and that is all you need to do to get out of the loop.
