You can always revert to version 2.0.14, but newer features will be lost.

I just did a major revision of the What's new in 2.1.x Wiki, adding about 100 new options & actions. So anyone wondering about all that's new, take a look! And let me know if I missed anything.

Mark: I overwrote the line you just added, sorry.. you can put it back if you want

Thanks QUISVIR! The enhancements are impressive. Guess its time to install PRS+ on my 650.

Thanks for the link! I tried searching for subcollections and didn't find any posts. Should've searched for sub-collections, instead.

I just tried it on my reader and it works beautifully. I just upgraded all my PRS-350's to PRS+ 2.0.18 a couple of days ago. Looks like I'll be installing nightlies on all of them now.

chaley created a Calibre template function for me to create a custom column for Sony collections. Here's the modified version of the template that supports sub-collections:

tags » Genre|tags[0], Genre|tags[1],...
series » Series|series

'''
Function: myFunc
Arg count: 1

Documentation:
myFunc(categories) -- Format tags and series so they show up as sub-collections on the PRS+ custom firmware for Sony Readers.

example:
{:'myFunc('fiction, non-fiction, fanfiction, magazine, news')'} - Creates a top-level collection for any tag named fiction, non-fiction, fanfiction, magazine or news. All other tags will be created as sub-collections under Genre.
'''

def evaluate(self, formatter, kwargs, mi, locals, cats):
    categories = set([v.strip() for v in cats.split(',') if v.strip()])
    tags = [v.strip() for v in kwargs.get('tags') if v.strip()]
    res = []
    for v in tags:
        if v.lower() in categories:
            res.append(v)
        else:
            res.append('Genre|' + v)
    series = kwargs.get('series')
    if series:
        res.append('Series|' + series)
    return ', '.join(res)

frquixote:
Thanks! Do note that the wiki applies to v2.1, for which there is no (official) release yet. So to get it, you'll have to make a custom build, or download one from the site kindly supplied by Analogus.

ilovejedd:
Thanks very much for contributing that! I'm sure many people will appreciate the info, so I'll add a link to your post in the Wiki

But be warned: this is no official release and not tested by me (bcause I only can test 350-custom-builds).

Just installed it now and it works perfectly. My god, the options are myriad!!

Thanks a lot once again; very much appreciated indeed!

[Analogus]

One question:

There should to be found an error-log where information is stored when something in loading PRS+ went wrong.

Where can I find it?

Thank you

A.

[Mark Nord]

In standard/installed builds logging is switched off.

To enable logging you have to create a folder /Beta/ in the root of IM
putting in psrp.js and user.config (template is user.config.350)

with just this two lines in user.config

// what to log and what not, possible values are: all, trace, info, warn, error
config.defaultLogLevel = "trace";
// where to log
config.logFile = "/Data/prsp_script.log";

Hope I got this correct, out of memory

Just user.config is enough

[Analogus]

Thanks both.

I'm a complete Linux-noop... Is there any SPECIAL command to copy/make this dir ('Beta') in root?
Copying files and folders in/to /opt0 or /tmp is no problem at all.

A.

[quisvir]

The Beta folder goes in internal memory (as opposed to memory cards), i.e. the drive called READER when you connect to usb. No need for special commands

[Analogus]

Ah...
I regarded IM as InternalMemory = the hidden '/'
Working now.

Another question (I know, I'm jabbering):

I try to produce a message when activation a function with ActionLauncher. This is no problem when using

Core.ui.showMsg(Core.lang.L("MSG_RESTART"));

in standard_actions.

When I try to produce my own message with

Core.ui.showMsg(Core.lang.L("MSG_ERROR_LOG_ON"));

this does not work. Of course there is a new line under StandardActions in lang.ods which goes like that:

MSG_ERROR_LOG_ON | english text | german text | ... |

In the second case there only occur the message 'MSG_RESTART'. No logging of missing translation.

A.

[quisvir]

L is defined as a local variable at the top of the addon code. So if you're adding the line somewhere in StandardActions_x50, it would be:

Core.ui.showMsg(L("MSG_ERROR_LOG_ON"));

[Analogus]

Thank you!
