Work In Progress: File Browser UI Plugin (based on Cover Browser) - Page 2

We have released a version of the plugin that works with KOReader 2025.04 which means that it should work on the newly-jailbroken Kindles.

Is it compatible with the nightly version of koreader?

It is not. When KOReader puts out another official release, that's when we would look at a next possible update.

Great addon. Two questions.

1. In the example screenshots, are the book titles on covers just part of the covers themselves and not ProjectTitle? Just want to make sure...if it's part of PT, how do you turn them on?

2. Is there a way to make the font in cover gridview showing a series/folder name smaller? Feel like it could be significantly smaller than it is in my setup, but not seeing where an option might be.

1. Those are the covers themselves: https://standardebooks.org/ If I had any idea how many people would ask this, I would have used different books. I even added a disclaimer to the github directly under the main image. ��

2. In the last few days I added some code to adjust that size smaller if the text is too long, but it only goes so far. Once the font gets real small, it looks bad, and I prioritize things looking nice over maximum utility. Someone could write a user patch to make the font as small as they wanted, though. I have a template and KOReader has documentation for user patches, but it would require a level of knowledge of Lua and the KOReader code base.

Without a way to keep the OP in this thread updated, I have requested in the user feedback forum that it be locked or deleted. If you'd like to check out this plugin, that would be wonderful and you can do so at the github link below. A lot has changed since this thread was originally posted.
