Calibre epub images on a PocketBook 360

Nevermind, I ploughed on regardless!

I now have a directory c:\Program Files\Bazaar\calibre which includes the src sub-directory.

I've set the environment variable CALIBRE_DEVELOP_FROM and tested it as per manual.

I've opened the file ...\src\calibre\__init__.py and tried the "Hello World" mini-test successfully. I've then removed it again.

So I'm cooking on gas - what next?

I'd like the house special, cup of coffee and deep dish apple pie (cooked on gas).

Now you wait for Kovid to tell you the source code file you need to change.

[kovidgoyal]

look for the file

src\calibre\customize\profiles.py

Scroll down to around line 276 where you will see

class SonyReader300Output(SonyReaderOutput):

    author      = 'John Schember'
    name        = 'Sony Reader 300'
    short_name  = 'sony300'
    description = _('This profile is intended for the SONY PRS-300.')

    dpi                       = 200

Change that to

class SonyReader300Output(SonyReaderOutput):

    author      = 'John Schember'
    name        = 'Sony Reader 300'
    short_name  = 'sony300'
    description = _('This profile is intended for the SONY PRS-300.')

    dpi                       = 200
    screen_size = comic_screen_size = (350, 350)

where you adjust (350, 350) to the result of your experiments.

Result!!! Thank you. That will do for now.

Finally, can you tell me what steps I will need to take when I want to install the next Calibre upgrade?

You have two options. The simplest to explain is: Do the same thing again. You'd get the source the same way, then edit it, making sure to put it in the same place your environment variable points.

The other is to do a commit of your edit changes, then a merge of the new code from Kovid's trunk:

bzr commit -m "Changes made to fix FBReader on the PB360"
bzr merge

It's possible there would be a conflict between his code changes and yours, but unlikely. If there was, you'd have to resolve it.

Thank you Starson. A couple of (dumb) questions for you:-

1. Why is there no reference to Calibre in this code? How does Bazaar know?

bzr commit -m "Changes made to fix ADE on the PB360"
bzr merge

When I ran the commands

cd \program files\bazaar
bzr branch lp:calibre

The Calibre code ended up in c:\program files\bazaar\calibre
Is there a way to specify a different destination directory?

You have to run them in the source folder. There is a .bzr hidden/system folder in there that refers to where the code came from originally.

When I ran the commands

cd \program files\bazaar
bzr branch lp:calibre

Yes.

bzr branch lp:calibre C:\some-path\calibre2\src

Bazaar should be on your path. If not, you can precede "bzr" with wherever you installed it.

Thank you for your help.
