A few questions about KOReader's file manager

erudite · 03-21-2023, 02:14 PM

Hello all,
I've used KOReader on my PB628 for two months now, and I'm very satisfied with it - it's a really fine program.

The only problems I have now, are with its file manager, and I have some questions about that:

Is it possible, after calling up the file manager, to just return to the current e-book?
Is it possible to highlight the current e-book in the file list?
Is it possible to highlight the last used directory, when you go up one level?

It would be nice if someone could answer these questions for me. Or at least nudge me in the right direction.

1. Upper rightmost menu (hamburger) - Last.
You can assign a gesture to open the last read book.
2,3 Are not implemented yet, but the ideas are interesting.

I've assigned the bottom left and right tap corners to it, because switching the backlight on and off unintentionally was a real nuisance.

Let's hope. Should I try to submit these ideas in https://github.com/koreader/koreader...tegories/ideas or https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues?

GH Discussions are not comfortable to read/write, so Issues are preferable.
The main question would be the design: how to mark a file/folder, in Classic/Mosaic/List display modes.
