Problem solved by unzipping into the root.

Midori runs well, but it won't access google drive so that option is out for .ppt files.

Try accessing a local .ppt file with it.

That is, a url of the form:
file:///mnt/us/<whatever name is shown in USB storage>

If that works, then the s3cmd utility should handle the "google drive" <-> "local storage" part of your problem.

There is a build of an old version posted here (and tested by brianmaine).
I have been working on building an updated version, but that is a low priority project for myself (until now anyway).

Opening a local ppt document in Midori gives this message:

Open or
download file
from

File Name: sample.ppt
File Type: 'application/
vnd.ms-powerpoint'

Then I'm stuck on this page with no navigation.

edit: there was more text being blocked by the virtual keyboard. I made a bookmark to this file and got further.

There's an open button. Pressing this I get this:

Choose an application or command to open "/tmp/midori-root/sample-1.ppt

and then a cancel button and a half visible open button and text box to enter the application it is looking for.

Pressing open here I get this:

Could not run external program.
Failed to execute child process "/tmp/midori-root/
sample-1.ppt" (permission denied)

I will look at the permissions on this sample file.

That doesn't sound very helpful.

Perhaps someone else will have a suggestion.

And how about this one:

The answer to that one sounds an awful lot like: Read the directions.

[font332]

Where are they?
And does it mean that there is explained how to do that or there is explained why it is not and won't be possible?

See:
https://github.com/koreader/koreader...ilemanager.lua
@line: 40

Translation: It is currently hardcoded.

Change code in that function to read defaults.lua and over-ride the hardcoded size if user has entered something different in their local configuration defaults.

There is a function for getting a named value out of the defaults.lua file and plenty of examples of its use through-out the code.

Thank You knc1

I think I'm not smart enough because I'm not even sure if I understood what You have just write
Although I think I might mean that I need to change the value in the filemananger.lue -> face = Font:getFace("tfont", 24) to smaller value and compile the whole program.
It's way too far away from my computer using skills

But as You wrote

It is currently hardcoded.

so there is a hope

Thank You.

No - not quite.

Lua is a scripting language.
This application does use a lot of code that is compiled in the classical sense of "building a program", but KOReader itself is just a (very advanced) script.
(the scripting does get compiled, but that is all automatic each time you start KOReader).

Just change the 24 in that line in that file in a working copy of KOReader.
It is just a plain text file with Unix line endings.

I am not sure if that is the size of all text in the file manager or only labels.
So give it a try, it will either work or error-out (Lua is very forgiving).

Oh it's nice.
I tried but it didn't changed anything.

Interesting.
It should have changed something at least.

I looked more and You are right, something changed. What got changed is the top centered text that informs me that I'm in file manager(I have it in my native language, but I think in english it would be"File manager"

Only changed the application's Title.
Hmm...

That means the text size is from one of those other files that one "requires" near the top of the file.
Which will take a little bit of digging.

Meanwhile, enjoy your re-sized File Manager title.
