Firmware 4.1.7729 - Page 2

Stevex · 10-12-2016, 08:13 AM

This firmware is working great on an Aura Go HD. I like the new ... instead of the hamburger menu.

I have been meaning to mention.

Sorting collections. Look at content table, records with ContentType 6. The DateLastRead column functions to sort by Recent.

PS I wasn't going to post this because it's a bit gross!! but actually this works fine for me, just for example

Update content set DateLastRead = date(julianday('Now')-SeriesNumber) WHERE seriesNumber not null And ContentType=6

I'm not so sure. It might just be that both styles are still there, so the inconsistency is bugging me.

It's not that simple. If the book hasn't been opened, it uses the __SyncTime. And it is used for both collections and the full list. If you are thinking about series sorting, I've never thought it was that useful because the device can change it, and it does have well defined meaning that I don't want to mess with.

Hi David, that was a fast reply

Well all I would say is, it achieves 99% of my desired effect. I suppose it all depends on the use case. I have collections with 100 items in. Obviously, as I use the reader it goes "out of sync" again. I have been thinking even to add a trigger to execute the update.

I did something similar in my AutoShelf mod with a different field (date added) but that sort option never worked and/or disappeared.

Doing it with Recent is a bit ... everytime you open a book it changes so it's out of whack again. And you actually lose a feature, in the global view, sorting by recent is just nonsense once you start messing with that (and no way to get the original values back).

I guess it wouldn't hurt to add it as an option... but the other workarounds (number in title etc.) seem to be more common here.

How Kobo manages to sort one time field but not the other ... oh well.

There are two bits of code I really want to see. That's one of them. The Date Added sorting actually worked, until it reread the dates from the database. I could never work what was happening as the order changed if you removed a book.

The other is building the collections list. I cannot work out why it takes so much time.

I could not wait and have installed this new firmware on my H2O today.

I can not say much about it yet, but I like to be able to access the details of the eBook directly from the open book.

JSWolf · 10-12-2016, 09:47 AM

I'm waiting for the patches before I decide to install on my H2O or not.

How can you install this firmware? I don't have any kobo software on my PC (nor do I want to) and on my One there's no option at all to even check for new firmware...

Terisa de morgan · 10-12-2016, 01:26 PM

If you follow the previous link, you can download a zip file in your PC. You unzip it and copy the three files in the .kobo folder in the Kobo Aura One. No need of Kobo SW. And for checking a new firmware, you only need to Sync.

Terisa de morgan · 10-12-2016, 01:27 PM

I've noted a detail. I always read with justified text. In previous files, when you had an mdash or ndash in the line, the left margin was ragged, now it's justified too.

I've never seen that as a problem. Are you reading ePub or kepub?

kepub, sorry for not having remarked it.

davidfor, I have a question. Does Kobo update the file size at any moment after adding the book to the database? And does the firmware use it aside of an unuseful sort?

Pages with a mixture of pictures and text are loading much more quickly for me with this firmware. Also, highlighting is much easier and faster.
