Open the kobopatch.bat file with a text editor and add the pause as the last line in the file. You can also delete the log.txt file in the out directory and run kobopatch.bat which will give you a log of that session only. That can be posted here either in the message but please, wrap in in spoiler tags (the eye with the X icon) or as a file attachment

@echo off
cd /D "%~dp0"
erase "out/KoboRoot.tgz" >nul 2>&1
"./bin/koboptch-windows.exe"
pause

Also note that selecting all the options can cause errors since some of the options are mutually exclusive.

I want to use "text-rendering optimizeLegibility" and "Make KePub font sizes match ePub font sizes" from KePub stylesheet additions patch.

Either one works by itself, but selecting both, just crashes command window.

I am going to add a message box on Windows for the next kobopatch version since doing this every time is getting kind of ridiculous.

You can't enable both those options simultaneously in the KePub stylesheet additions patch. Enable the "text-rendering optimizeLegibility" option only.

To have font-sizes match for both epub and kepub also enable patch ePub uniform font scale which is also found in the libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml file.

I have found my mistake:

I have lost the config on my Kobo.conf:

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

Thanks!

Hi, I've had a look through all the patches but couldn't find what I was after -
is there a way to alter the font size of the footnotes (where you click on a little number and it brings up a popup)?

Thanks!

Yep, take the patch here.

Ah thanks! Just to confirm is it the first chunk of code - do I just need to copy this into one of the .yaml files (and follow usual instructions) to get it installed?

[Semwize]

test Pop-up footnote main text font-size:
  - Enabled: yes
  - Description: |
        Change pop-up footnote main text font-size
        fw 4.20.14601 CSS moved to libnickel.so.1.0.0 from nickel???
        Daylight: %1 = 42 ???
  - FindReplaceString:
      Find:    "p { font-size: %1px; line-height: 1.4em; }"
      Replace: "p { font-size: 34px; line-height: 1.4em; }"
      MustMatchLength: yes

You need to change the number marked in red to achieve the size you want.

What patch should I enable to remove the "Discover" button at Home's lower section? I have no need to see anything about Kobo Store or Kobo wishlist or Kobo points or Kobo rewards or Kobo Recommendations.

I already enabled

Never show Kobo Plus, wishlist, and points SmartLinks:
- Enabled: yes

But I still see Discover.

Short answer: There isn't one in the published kobopatch pack.

Longer answer: There are no immediate plans to add one as we wish to avoid annoying Kobo. Quote from @geek1011's GitHub site:

We generally avoid touching stuff to do with the store itself, or to do with OverDrive/Dropbox/etc. Sorry about that.

Regarding libnickel, would "Change Browse Kobo home screen link target (to either Activity or Articles) change the label from "Discover" to either of those?

Can remove and change it (is a simple patch), but since Kobo receives the main income from the sale of books, that is, from its store, such patches will not be added, in order to avoid...

It is written in plain text above.

If anyone can PM me the way to remove discover from the home page, I would appreciate it. My property - my wishes
