I've released version 0.4.0.
Please note that the content of the main archive is no longer embedded within a .adds/plato directory.

You'll have to create that file, as mentioned in the guide.

First of all, good job on plato. It really is a nice reading app and it is now my default choice for PDFs/DJVUs. There's a lot of potential in this program! Très bon travail!

I also have a few minor observations (I'm using the 0.4.0 release from your github): - I noticed that most of my covers don't show up on Plato; when I select a book, the screen is blank instead of showing the book cover. - All of the authors show up as Unknown Author in the book selection menu, even if I can see and select authors in the top bar, so that's a bit weird. - If I press the TOC button on the bottom right, is there a way to close that screen without selecting an entry? A last question, what is the wifi used for? It's nice to have the option but I fail to understand what Plato uses the internet for. Thanks again for that nice program!

You're welcome.
Holding the bottom left corner will toggle the frontlight (all the gestures are described in the manual). Quote:

Currently nothing. I personaly use the WiFi for debugging purpose (telnet, FTP). |

Thank you for your answers! I still have a few questions if you don't mind.
How can I gather the metadata for my ebooks so plato is aware of them? Is there a way to force custom fonts over the publisher's default? I can see my custom font with some ebooks, but not with all of them. Also, I'd like to adjust the left/right and top/bottom margins as well as the weight/boldness of the font, how could I do that? Using user.css I guess? Do you plan to implement a settings menu, or will it be managed using configuration files for the time being? I think plato has a lot of potential, and it's leagues better looking than most homebrew alternatives too. I'm almost tempted to learn some rust! |

You could use the importer to do that. But the problem is that you'll need to dynamically link against mupdf and, by default, mupdf generates a static library. Since you already have the author information within the categories array, you could write a script that modifies each entry in .metadata.json by copying the relevant parts of categories to the author key.

E.g.: Code:
body { font-family: "Foo Bar" !important; } Quote:
In the meantime, you can do it globally through user.css: Code:
@page { margin: 1em; } Quote:

Plato seems to sort my books slightly weirdly. My book is tagged in calibre as, for example, "The colour of magic" by "Terry Pratchett", but they show in plato as "The colour of magic - Terry Pratchett" by "unknown author". Also, my ebook library has changed a few times and plato doesn't seem to have updated based on that, and also now doesn't seem to be opening anything (this is on the 0.4 release).
EDIT: the fact books aren't opening seems to be based on it not rescanning my books, but I have tried deleting the metadata.json and it still hasn't rescanned. EDIT EDIT: To clarify, basically I can't find a way to rescan my books to actually find them, and scanning seems a little weird. EDIT EDIT EDIT: OK, it's working now. That's kinda weird.

Does plato have an option to change how often the screen full-refreshes to avoid ghosting problems?

I also apologise if this is getting a little spammy but is there a way to force plato to reload the list of books that are on the device?

@lukeoftheaura
Importing metadata from ePUBs can be achieved with plato-import -M <library_path>. This is out of reach for many users and, as a consequence, the addition of a menu item that would perform the same task is planned. If you connect your device to a computer (via Plato), an import will occur when you eject the relevant disk. The setting that defines the period of the full screen refreshes is refreshEvery (cf. settings.json). |
