Actually, you don't need to delete them. They will be automagically removed when the exclusion is changed since they will no longer be seen as books. The problem is that your Kobo excludes .kobo/screensaver by default but it does not exclude .kobo/screensaver_old. I took a look at my exclusion setting and found that I had modified it a while back to keep screensaver.old from being synced. It's not pretty and could be better coded.

Code:
ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)|(screensaver\.old)
should prevent this from happening.

Still doing the same thing. I feel like I gotta be missing something. I really appreciate your help on this.

You have checked that that if you have screensavers enabled, the directory in the .kobo directory is called screensaver? That when you disable screensavers, the directory name changes to screensaver.old? You may have a different rename in the NickelMenu config file, if so place that directory name in where I have screensaver.old (the backslash just escapes the . so it is not seen as a wildcard).

You are using a Linux EOL aware editor? I use Notepad++ since my main OS is Windows, Linux and MacOS users don't need to worry about that nit.

Oh that might be the issue. The folder is renaming to “screensaver_old” If that’s the case, would it need to be:

Code:
ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)|(screensaver_old)
Regex might as well be Martian, so forgive my ignorance on that.

Yep. That took care of it. Thanks again!

Is there any script/config for NickelMenu that shows the values of the sliders when customizing the font size/weight, line height, etc?

Is there any way with Nickel Menu to change the book progress in Home and My Books - Cover view so it displays the book title instead?

Is there a way to use NickelMenu to change the system language, for example, a menu item that changes the Kobo interface to Japanese, and another to change it to English?

What I'm really after is the ability to easily access the Japanese keyboard/input method to type Japanese text (e.g., in a search field). As far as I know, you can only use that when the Kobo system language is Japanese, and I usually have my Kobo set to English. So, if there's some way to do that, with or without NickelMenu, please let me know.

There's not a lot of room for a book title there. Try typing on your screenshot to see.

Even if the title is only partially shown (Ex: "The Beauty of..."), I'd take that.
Just want to know if it's possible to modify it or not.

Hmm... Interesting idea... It seems like it should be possible to force-open the keyboard, but in another language, or register a hook for the keyboard which can change it, but I haven't looked at this before.

I'll take a look when I get a chance.

That would be for a patch. And there isn't much room there unless we shrink stuff. It should be technically possible, but it would be one of the more complex patches.

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I haven't had an e-reader until now, I'm thinking about buying a new Libre color. Is there a possibility of putting some other program for taking notes, I am most interested in inserting or Copy/paste pictures in notes? Tnx
