One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato

[NiLuJe]

@baskerville:

Given that the default exclude list has a bunch of .kobo in there, I'm going to assume yes ^^.

(Much more importantly than Dropbox, books bought from Kobo are in there, you definitely wouldn't want to exclude those ;p).

\.add
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/articles
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/images
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/kepub
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/screensaver
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/slideshow
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/dict
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/certificates
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/webcache
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/webstorage
(\.kobo|koboExtStorage)/sunpinyin
\.fseventsd
\.Spotlight-V100
\.Trash
\.Trashes
\.Trash-\d+
\$RECYCLE.BIN

Inserted into

^/mnt/(sd|onboard)/%1$

Which means we can't use ^ or $ in the setting's pattern.

----

IIRC, the issue is that the setting *overrides* the default list, which explains the strictness.

If you have a pattern on hand that does both, I don't have any qualms about replacing it, but, this one works for 99% of use-cases and hasn't eaten anyone's data so far .

Are you sure that the exclusion pattern is involved in this case?

I'm asking because I tried Pocket, and it seems to work fine when .kobo isn't whitelisted.

Here's a combination of the current pattern, that matches paths that start with a hidden directories (except .kobo* and .adobe*), and a pattern that matches paths that start with at least one visible directory followed by an hidden directory:

(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)

Given what I quoted above, it's conceivable that some of it (notably, the .kobo stuff) is actually a whitelist applied *after* the exclude list. or not, and KePubs are scanned completely differently. Not up to checking the assembly myself .

(Also, I don't know where the "this is for Pocket" idea came from: I don't use Pocket myself, and that doesn't ring a bell at all :?).

That seems to do the trick, thanks

Thanks, you might also want to update the links to install.sh in the first post…

You do mention Pocket in this post.

[baskerville]

One last question regarding the pattern: why are you using a lazy quantifier?

Nice catch, thanks .

Huh. Well, I've never used Pocket, so, who knows what I was thinking at the time .

No-one's actually complained of Pocket breaking since, though, so, eh.

I don't actually remember who came up with the final iteration, but, as far as I'm concerned, probably because I tend to prefer those (and it ends up anchored by a $, which suits us just fine).

Hi NiLuJe, I was just wondering if there is any benefit to having both KFMon and NM installed together. It seems to me that they both acheive the same thing.

[NiLuJe]

@kerminaawad: Backward compatibility, and/or being able to still launch stuff when you break your NM config and/or your KFMon setup .

(Also, KFMon's optional boot progress bar).

Okay cool, sounds good. One more question, can NM return to Nickel after exiting an external program (Plato for example)? Or is that a KFMon thing? Or both?

[NiLuJe]

@kerminaawad: That's a "whatever you ran" thing, not the launcher .

----

Besides, as NM lives *inside* Nickel, if there's no Nickel, there's no NM .

[kerminaawad]

Oh, okay. That's not what I understood from issue #2 on KFMon's GitHub page. I thought it was something to do with the launcher.

Anyways, I wanted to say thank you to you and to everyone who puts in time and effort to create these mods/programs. It brings me back to a time when I was younger, when Android was fun to play around with. And thanks for the prompt responses.

On another note, is there anyway I can contribute? I only know Java and Python at this time... I guess there's no harm in asking.

[NiLuJe]

KFMon's #2 is not for the faint of heart, and touches on a lot of different things. But it basically meant that whatever you did, you couldn't restart Nickel sanely *from whatever you ran*, as long as said stuff was originally launched through KFMon. But that's long past, and has been fixed for years now.

[kerminaawad]

Ah okay, I understand now. Thanks again.
