PRS+: Enhanced firmware for Sony Reader, Folders, Games & more

[Pinecone]

I am very interested in this new capability for selecting the books displayed on the Home page.

I am concerned though about which collection will be selected. I have books that are in two or occasionally (rarely) 3 collections. But wold like to explictly tell WHICH collection to take the next books from. In many cases, it won't make a huge difference, due to how I have things organized, but in some cases it will.

The addon uses the first collection it finds the current book in. To let the user select the collection is a bit too hard for me to code atm. It might happen at some point, but it's unlikely to be soon

For an idiot, please:
I am not able to update to the actual version. How does this work? I have copied the PRSPlus-Folder on the root of the internal memory, what have I done wrong?

Thanks,
moe

/Edit: Rebooting was a smart idea

I have found a small problem with the history: If a delete a book which is in the history, but it is not the current book, both of them disappear.

If PRS+ isn't giving you the options you want for this yet, you might check out the Small tool to change book order posted here. It works simply by changing the date of the 3 books you want to show on the home page to 3 years ahead. It takes just a minute to do, and has worked flawlessly for me. I usually select my next 3 books I plan on reading, set them with the tool, then change them after all 3 are read whenever I next have the reader connected to the PC. It works great.

And in case my small request was missed a few pages back, would it be possible when you save screenshots, if there's any way to have them saved into a "screenshots" directory rather than lumped into the root directory mixed with other files? Just makes it all cleaner/neater when moving them off the reader to your PC.

Hi moe,

please check Post #2650
The Folder to be put into IM is "PRSPInstaller"
(DoubleCheck that the Archive keeps its Sub-Folder structure during extraction. In other words there should be some Subfolders under PRSPInstaller.)
Then shutdown (Settings - shutdown) and restart your Reader.
Check new version in the About-Screen
HTH

Should not be a great deal to implement this.
But you might post this also in the Official FEATURE REQUESTS thread.

Are you using beta 13 v2, or a custom build? Do you mean to say that 2 books are deleted instead of 1, or did I misunderstand?

Custom build, but no changes in BookHistory. And yes, it deleted 2 books instead of 1.

I forgot about that section, thanks for the reminder, I did post it there also.

Thanks for updating me, maybe after Kartu is back a complete PRSP_x50_2.0.13.betav2.zip can be created so new users won't be confused.

At present I want to recommend PRS+, but a new install for the x50 series is a little hard to get across to someone who hasn't done it before. Especially when they go to download the deprecated version (as a first step) and Google pops up a warning saying they should download a newer version.

Kartu, i've seen the files .ods only made by google docs run ok on the build.xml wiht the rest of the files made by others programs appears an error.

Hi I need help with editing style.css for epub files
I place fonts to /Fonts in root PRS-300 and then make custom css with this atributes:

@ Font-face {
font-family:-ua-default;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url (res: / / / Data/Fonts/Helvetica_LT_65_Medium.ttf);
}

@ Font-face {
font-family:-ua-default;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
src: url (res: / / / Data/Fonts/Helvetica_LT_75_Bold.ttf);
}

@ Font-face {
font-family:-ua-default;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
src: url (res: / / / Data/Fonts/Helvetica_LT_66_Medium_Italic.ttf);
}

@ Font-face {
font-family:-ua-default;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
src: url (res: / / / Data/Fonts/Helvetica_LT_76_Bold_Italic.ttf);
}

@ Font-face {
font-family: "sans-serif1";
src: url (res: / / / opt/sony/ebook/FONT/tt0003m_.ttf);
}

h1 {
font-family: sans-serif1, sans-serif;
}


body {
font-family: "-ua-default", serif;
font-size: 1.2em;
margin-right: 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-top: 0;
line-height: 130%;
}

is this correct?
Placing for custom css : database/system/PRSPlus/epub/custom.css

Can someone explain me what "half-page-mask" is ?

Seems to be something very interesting for reading in landscape mode but I can't figure out what it does exactly.

Thanks

@raiderkilo,

You appear to have some spaces and uppercase characters where I wouldn't expect to see them (although some may not be a problem). Also as you are using Helvetica (a sans-serif font) to replace the default serif font you may like to use your custom Helvetica for both serif and sans-serif.

In this case, I'd try this as your file, database/system/PRSPlus/epub/custom.css

@font-face {
font-family:sans-serif, serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/Fonts/Helvetica_LT_65_Medium.ttf);
}

@font-face {
font-family:sans-serif, serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
src: url(res:///Data/Fonts/Helvetica_LT_75_Bold.ttf);
}

@font-face {
font-family:sans-serif, serif;
font-weight: normal;
font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///Data/Fonts/Helvetica_LT_66_Medium_Italic.ttf);
}

@font-face {
font-family:sans-serif, serif;
font-weight: bold;
font-style: italic;
src: url(res:///Data/Fonts/Helvetica_LT_76_Bold_Italic.ttf);
}

body {
font-family: serif;
font-size: 1.2em !important;
margin-right: 0;
margin-left: 0;
margin-top: 0;
line-height: 130%;
}
