[626] Is there a way to refresh the library view?

Skeeve · 08-04-2015, 06:03 PM

Hi!

I have a script which is a wrapper around the PBTL2's sudoku. I managed to find out how a book's information is stored in the PBTL2's database. My script now updates the information about the current sudoku's status.

Unfortunately this information is not shown in the library view when I start from the main screen. When I start from the library view, the information is automatically updated.

So my question is: How can I refresh the library view so that it shows the data from the DB and not the data it has cached somehow?

Screen shoot?

I didn't find anything related to this in the SDK.
Maybe calling the library binary with a certain param would trigger the update?

It might be worth looking through the system scripts. Locating the USB connect/disconnect script could be the solution since the library is updated when disconnecting.

Edit:
I don't know if this still exists but I found in an older FW5.2 apps list I had in my computer that there's a scanner.app in /ebrmain/bin. Maybe this is what you're searching for.

Try calling the following command and see what happens. It logs the output too just in case it throws some error or help page.

Thought so too, but there aren't many scripts.

Yes, that's there. I'll check it.

The sad thing with those apps is: There is no manual available. The explorer-3.app for example has these options:

Code:

-l | -ls | -d | -a | -i | -s | -m

But I have no clue what they all might mean.

It means you should try them all and see what happens

You don't really have a choice.
