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

[Mike_73]

Kartu, I didn't get to download the latest beta last weekend. I just downloaded it and found that I have to have a dictionary in .dic format to make this function work. Is there a free dic that I can download to give it a test drive?

This should work (I guess it's the webster's dictionary from Clemenseken's thread):

This thread has a number of dictionaries, if you'd need more than one:

And last, you can create your own dictionary files, it's format is:
<word><space><space><translation><endofline>

PS
1.1.1beta will be released within an hour.

here's an English-German dictionary.

Could you remove the -n parameter from the grep command in the Addon? This removes the line number from the output.
It also seems like the text in the search field gets replaced by the result of the search.

Edit: For some reason the attachments didn't show up.

1.1.1beta is out. In short, known bugs were fixed, BookHistory jumps directly to the book, all details will be posted on changelog page.

Are you sure that this number is not used for next/previous navigation?

The changelog of 1.1.1 beta has a typo: it should be Simplified Chinese instead of Traditional Chinese.

I guess I didn't read the code far enough, the lineNo is used indeed.
The way it should work is that the resulting string gets cut into lineNo, term and definition and that the inputLine is set to term and the textfield below to the definition, but instead the textfield has the whole result string and the inputLine everything except the lineNo.
My guess is that this happens because the variable termIdx is never set, but my JavascriptFu is too weak to debug this

How dictionary could be started in PRS+? Is it possible to introduce dictionary by some button when reading book or is it still necessary to remove/insert SD?

[Duglum]

You can assign the action "Dictionary" to a key in PRS+-Settings -> Key Bindings. For example, if you assign the action to "Hold Vol+" in Global settings, the dictionary opens whereever you are when you hold the Vol+ key on the bottom.

Yep, fixed.

What Duglum said, plus via menu. No need to insert/remove anything. Actually also no need to have SD/MS card.

I'll try to fix it. So the first search result always contains line number, right?

Exactly. The grep command used outputs the string in the following way:

linenumber:term[space][space]definition[line break]

The command is then piped through "head -n 1" which outputs only the first row in case of multiple results.
As far as I understand the code the first thing that is done is search the position in the string-array at which the colon is. Then it saves everything before that position into the variable lineNo.
After that the variable term is set to the slice of the string from colon + 1 to termIdx, which should indicate the position of the two spaces in the string.
termIdx was never set, however.

[Duglum]

I got it. Replace line 191-201 in dictionary.js with

// get position of colon
var colonIdx = res.indexOf(':');

// get line number
lineNo = Number(res.slice(0, colonIdx));

// remove line from string
res = res.slice(colonIdx + 1, res.length - 1);

// split remaining string at double space
var split = res.split("  ");

// put string into textfields
this.inputLine.setValue(split[0]);		// term
this.printLines(txtFormat(split[1]));	// definition

Learning my way into Javascript line for line...

Native Chinese support is great, other updates are nice too. Many thanks, Kartu.

By the way, I tried turning epub userstyle off, is there any way to turn it on again(without reflashing whole reader)?
I also cant seem to get working corrected version of Czech.js, I tried to change file in beta tester pack, but it doesnt have any effect, and when I reflashed again with prs+ czech language stayed there. Do I have to reflash it first with original 1.1 US firmware and then prs+? EDIT: I figured it out, I was putting betatester pack on internal memory instead of card .

Thanks

[VICTORSJG]

Kartu, you say in the new realeased 1.1.1 "Don't forget to remove old beta pack, before installing this. (they are not compatible)", so what should i do to install this release?

thanks

Just put CSS files into /database/system/PRSPlus/epub folder.

The same as with 1.1.0beta.

Duglum
Thanks, I'll add the fix to repository.
