NickelMenu: An integrated launcher for Kobo eReaders

[xyclonei]

Testing the waters, but is it possible to call Google Drive on unsupported devices with Nickel Menu, similar to Dropbox?

[Aleron Ives]

It is not currently supported. You could add a comment here to show your support for such a feature:

GoogleDrive-Support is possible. It is a hidden feature also available for Libra 2, same as it is the case for Dropbox.

But NickelMenu has to support it. Dropbox works great on my Libra2.

Hello,

I'm sure many people have already tried, but here is my request: Can I use the selection menu of NickelMenu to copy text selected from a book? My purpose is to paste it in a website of mine ? Thanks for your answers.

You can write a script to directly send it using a HTTP request.

Thanks. But i think i'm not able to do that ? Any hints or clues to start ?

I use this, which I'd guess is in the doc examples, but maybe not.

Let me explain myself. I want to select a piece of text in an ebook and copy it to an online notepad. And i'm trying to do it by using the "selection" capacities of NickelMenu and url parameters.

Dear Kobo owners, does anybody try to setup sync files from webdav server and NickelMenu.
Last version of KoboCloud has strange behavior on my Kobo Aura One (random wake up, reboot reader app after wake from sleep).
My plan is:
* place curl to onboard/.adds/curl/curl
* create shell script which will get all files from folder (that most hard step for me)
* add action to NickelMenu - that run script on demand.

Or maybe someone know how to prevent autostart KoboCloud and start it from NickelMenu on demand?

Use rclone or something similar instead of curl.

Why CURL is not good idea? Now I'm just removed autostart KoboCloud and run their script by NickelMenu when I need it. All works fine.
For rclone — I couldn't found how it use with dropbox or webdav.

CURL is fine, but rclone is much simpler -- configure it on you computer, then copy the config to your kobo and run it with NM (you'll need to make a script to start it in the background, then have another which checks the status -- or you can set a transfer cutoff and do it in chunks) followed by a library refresh. It can do webdav, dropbox, and other things. I haven't tried this setup myself on my Kobo (I transfer books the other way around), but it should work fine (I use a similar setup for other things on non-kobo devices).
