Yes, that what puzzled me - I'm used to that kind od error, it's the first time I can recall a patch not triggering a fail but at the same not actually doing anything.

EDIT:

I just ran the same set of patches on my wife's Libra H2O (with the appropriate firmware of course). Same result. No failure or error, no change in display of the 3rd row

This is really odd. Here is the relevant line from my nickel.yaml
Code:
remove footer (row3) and increase cover size on new home screen:
  - Enabled: yes
and here is the relevant line from the log generated by kobopatch.bat

Code:
"Remove footer (row3) and increase cover size on new home screen": false,

Other patches I've enabled in the various yaml files all show "true", but this one, it seems ONLY one, does not.

I just ran kobopatch.bat again and this time copied the text about directl, not from the log file.

This is what says on the relevant line:

Code:
DISABLE `Remove footer (row3) and increase cover size on new home screen`
Other patches that I have enabled have "APPLY" before them, as

Code:
  APPLY `Unify font sizes`

Yes, I know that now, and I did save it.

I don't have this in my log files either for Sage or Libra 2. Both show "true".

Maybe a conflicting patch was enabled?

That is what I assumed. But searching the log turned zero hits for "confl" as a string and in the past when I have enabled two conflicting patches, that tgz was not generated at all.

VEDI ET VICI (no veni involved)

I took another look at the output from kobopatch (not the log), and saw this:

Code:
Loading configuration from kobopatch.yaml
When I checked THATyaml , sure enough the non-applied patches were disabled. So I edited IT, and voilà - a reminder of the dizzy heights I can occasionally scale when both neurons fire at once.

It was a useful reminder of the value of kobopatch.yaml - not having to manually edit different yaml files each time. Although I do most of my reading on my Sage in KOReader, the growing chorus of praise for the Libra 2 Colour is tempting me to upgrade my second reader soon, and that one I'll probably use the stock Kobo reader for. If I do get a colour Libra I will definitely want my covers to be as big as possible with no extraneous Kobo marketing guff. So being reminded of of how to use kobopatch.yaml was timely.

Might I ask how you applied patches on the 4.38.23038 (or even the 4.38.23171)?
I only found the 4.38.21908 patch release

In koboatch.yaml, edit the relevant lines so they match the patch release

Code:
## Works with kobopatch v0.15.0 and later.
## You can update kobopatch by downloading the latest release from https://github.com/pgaskin/kobopatch/releases. 
version: 4.38.23171
in: src/kobo-update-4.38.23171.zip
out: out/KoboRoot.tgz
log: out/log.txt
That's the function of kobopatch.yaml to serve as template of patches to be applied, so you only have to edit the patch version number each time. It may not always work with all patches, but if you use relatively few (as I do) the odds are good it will save a lot of time. If, UNLIKE me, you remember that you're using it

Don't do that as the patches are available in the links posted above. Some of the patches have been fixed for the correct locations in the new firmware. Also, DSNB has edited kobopatch.yaml such that it now groups patches that are either or. It's now just a matter of editing the kobopatch.yaml once and you are done. So really, grab the patch ZIP file for 4.38.23171 instead of going with an older version that won't work as well.

Heh. I'm not tempted at all by the Libra Colour (or any other current color eink device, for that matter). I'd be very tempted by a new, faster, upgraded black and white Libra, though. Or by a new black and white Sage.

Kaleido tech, which worsens the b/w experience (no matter how slightly) is not at all attractive to me. YMMV, of course.

I do hope you won't have to make such a sacrifice for a new Sage to be released...

It would be sad if Kobo never released a new b/w ereader with 7-8" screen, but only Kaleido ones.
