Welcome, Buggins!

The legend Lives.... Did not know he was here at MR. His updates for my V5 have been brilliant.!!!

The legend has been on Mobileread for more than two years without posting once. Talk about restraint capabilities

And he breaks that restraint because of my fanfiction!

That's because you are (were?) a damsel in distress.

Hello, Buggins, thank you for taking the time to post here. I really appreciate CoolReader and use it all the time with my other files, which is why the way it handles .txt is such a problem.

The thing is, all my .txt files are treated the same way. They're mostly fanfiction posted on LJ and DW, and saved as a text file. Some are 100 word drabbles, others are 15,000 words serials. Some of them mark chapters as *Chapter*, _Chapter_, - Chapter - or have scene breaks marked with *** or --- or +++ on a new line, and others are just plain text, no special formatting or line breaks. They often contain short lines of dialog, which might be what CoolReader recognizes as a chapter title. That is a problem, since it means that I often encounter pages with two-three lines, the first of which is bolded.

I cannot post the files here, as I'd be archiving them on a public website which is not done without asking first, but I can upload them to box.net and send the link in a PM, if that's alright.

A damsel in distress! That phrase reminds me of a certain fictional Old West gambler/con woman extricating herself from an unpleasant situation.

Joking aside, the headings still distress me, but I hope that will become a thing of the past. I like my fanfic, some of it is quite good, some is just plain fun, and some is not all that great, but I have fond memories associated with it. I want to read it when I take a break from marking exams.

Please try latest version from Market. There were a lot of fixes in TXT format autodetection.
If some files still formatted incorrectly, please upload them and send me a link.
I'll try to improve format detection heuristics.

You sent me the latest version in a PM when we discussed various txt settings, and it's working perfectly. I am very happy with it and very grateful you took the time to fix these issues.

I can't access the Market from the IQ unless I root the device and I don't feel comfortable doing so, so I will occasionally check Sourceforge for latest versions. I'm keeping the cr3.0.39-23 version, just in case.
