One last test: when you run the attached script, do you see a series of oranges of various intensities, or does it start yellow and drifts towards orange?

I see a series of oranges of various intensities
You're right, the new release does not crash anymore
But touching is not responding well. I see homepage with my ebook list.
And touching seems very slow. I managed to open a book i've touched. But unable to turn pages.
After few seconds, the page is changing, looks like executing my finger taps later, and randomly...
Need to reboot

Debug builds are much slower than release builds.

Please try the attached release build and check that the frontlight is working as expected.

[gilali]

Yes it's faster
but touching is horizontaly inverted

It should be fixed in the attached release.

I wonder if there is a way for Plato to look inside the folders that happen to be in the default directory (typical folder has ebook and correspondent cover image file inside)

It should import everything that matches the allowed kinds (cf. settings.json).

@gilali: can you confirm that the latest (preview) release works fine (orientation, touch, natural light) on your H₂O 2?

[gilali]

Thank you for this release. It works better :
Touching Orientation OK
Natural Frontlight OK

But touching seems to be hold.
For example, when I browse ebooks list, turning pages, I jump directly to the the last page (50) only with few taps (2 or 3 tap)

I've made another test release: I've increased the hold delay (2 s instead of 0.5 s) and I'm logging every event and every raw touch event. If you encounter another unexpected hold, please post the content of info.log.

[gilali]

It's better, but same issue.

sorry the answer is not clear to me. I do have a settings.json pointing to the correct directory. What I can see are all the files immediately in it. I don't see the book that are inside their own folder, even if the folder is in the default directory. Thank you for your help I am no coder of course

[baskerville]

@gilali: Another test build.

Please try the two-finger swipe gestures (horizontal and vertical).

Can you share your settings.json?

Hi Baskerville! Just installed Plato (0.3.6 release with the binary on post #132) on my H2O 2. I must stay it looks pretty beautiful. To me it looks way cleaner and with better UI than KOReader. I think it has the potential to even be a killer app for Kobos. I'm wondering though, is it planned to implement dragging the edges to control the brightness and warmth of the frontlight, like in Nickel? Let me know if there's any shell output, debug log or anything you want me to send you. I am now testing the app with epubs (Neuromancer from the Kobo Store at the moment).

Thanks, I was starting to get worried because of the absence of response from gilali.

I tried my best to make it wise.

I will add that to the TODO list.

If there was a problem with the way I'm handling the raw touch events, I guess you would have perceived the effects, but I'd still appreciate if you could perform an horizontal and a vertical two-finger swipe gesture and provide the corresponding info.log.

Please note that, as I have mentioned in an earlier post, Plato is relying on mupdf to render ePUBs and thus inherits its bugs and limitations.
