How to install NickelMenu on a Kobo in 2021

[gogu1904]

Thank you. And ... I am trying to uninstall by putting an empty file named dfh_uninstall in the root folder of the kobo drive as exported to Windows via USB. But nothing happens. Even after a reboot, the dfh_uninstall file is still there. I assume the uninstall procedure removes this marker file as well.

As you noticed in your PM to me, it's kdh_uninstall for kobo-dotfile-hack-ng.

Hi, can someone pls explain to me like I'm a 14 year old how I install kobo-dotfile-hack-ng?

I do have a fair bit of experience with PC, Tablets, iPads and so on (Jailbreaking, rooting etc) and I managed to install the Koreader+Plato package, but I don't know how to install that without further instructions.

Do I have to put something in .kobo folder, like I did with the above Koreader/Plato package?

My key problem is that Kobo has added a bunch of irrelevant files to my library after I installed Koreader+Plato

Extra info:
Would adding a ".nomedia" file to certain folders help?
Anyway I'm after the most bug-free, long-term solution.

I read that I could have avoided the problem by using the 'install script' to install Koreader+Plato. I just tried REINSTALLING using it but I'm not sure yet if it's done anything. The window that opened just disappeared. If I need to uninstall first, how?)

Ultimately all I really wanted to do was be able to directly browse and download ebooks from my PC or the cloud, with as useful/information-rich an interface as possible, because my Kobo Libra H20 is full!

Also, how do I then get rid of all the non-ebook files that are now already in the library ?
(Ideally without having to delete and reload everything)

Could you explain more about how to config the doc file? I have installed Nickel but the menus (in other places like My Books...) look different from the screenshots in @geek1011 post here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...31&postcount=1.
To be more precise, items like FPT, screenshot, web browser, USB connection... are missing.
