Koreader running on Kobos (all of them, hopefully!)

It seems that latest release (20140629) has finally a working (out of the box) suspend mode on Aura HD.
Localized text for suspend mode is not present (still english) when if I remember correctly was present on previous one (but with a not working stand-by mode)

I guess you could put "sospeso" in the uimanager.lua script, in place of "suspended".

I personally don't want any message covering the suspended screen. I will be disabling the message, for mine.

Or you could help the localization of Koreader by translating those new strings on Transifex

Every time a text string is put into brackets with a leading underscore, e.g.

suspend_msg = InfoMessage:new{ text = _("Suspended") }

, the string is exported to transifex and available for translation.

You'll have to wait a while for new strings to appear on Transifex, though. Apparently, the string given as an example is not yet available for translation. T

I am a bit proud of it, so I mention it here, my first own code submission is part of the latest nightly build of Koreader! It enhances the mini progress bar a bit and adds a feature that let's you see in an epub how many pages are left until the next chapter starts (in case the epub has a TOC that is).

To configure this check in defaults.lua the entries
DMINIBAR_ALL_AT_ONCE = true/false
DMINIBAR_TIME = true/false
DMINIBAR_PAGES = true/false
DMINIBAR_NEXT_CHAPTER = true/false

ALL_AT_ONCE shows all of the three below which are set to true, in case of ALL_AT_ONCE=false it toggles between the below ones that are set to true.

Since the defualt.lua entries will get overwritten with each new nightly I recommend to add any changes to the default values to defaults.persistent.lua (create one if you don't have one in the Koreader main folder). This file will not get overwritten with a new version and can include any settings from default.lua.

With latest version I have these problems (some of them present also on previous versions):

1) With some PDFs koreader exits (crash ??) when I set a bookmark (aka click on upper right of screen).
Only some pdf, with mostly it works

2) Some comment icons not appear (pdf) but others are correctly shown

3) Sometime (rarely with more recent versions, more frequently with older ones) it seems to hang, but not after an idle period but after a click to execute an operation (i.e. on a click to open PDF, on a click of some other type).
It is not freezed only very long time to process an input event (as i have already told here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...&postcount=294).
If you have patience it is possible to close cleanly koreader using touch events (it reacts at about one click event processed every 1.5-2 mins, so you need 6 to 8 mins to close, 4 clicks, koreader and relaunch it from start menu).

This under Kobo FW 3.3.0 (Aura HD)

Hi

I am using Aura HD 3.3.0 with koreader-kobo-arm-linux-gnueabihf-v2014.04-212-g3f1827f.

It looks like sleeping and light button does not work for me. Is this expected? This stuff works for my Glo.

thanks

You might want to try a newer build, there has been considerable progress lately, regarding that issue, and others.

Hi

Thanks for your help. You were right. The newer build works. I can confirm that.

I noticed the latest nightly (koreader-nightly-20140704) has some problems (at least for me). It doesn't remember your last reading position. And when you leave a book it returns to Nickel instead of the previous directory. 20170703 didn't have these problems. And the koreader.sh is drastically changed which seems odd.

Same problems on my Aura HD. The problem lies in new docsettings.lua, I think.

With PDF no problem, it remembers last reading position and it exits to file manager

Right, I just went through them and there is a real problem in that regard with the "koreader-kobo-arm-linux-gnueabihf-v2014.04-309" build the one before that is working though. "koreader-kobo-arm-linux-gnueabihf-v2014.04-273"

There are a whole slew of changes being introduced, some quite interesting ones, so the next few builds should be "interesting". Looking at the Github posts, there may be a few good candidates for what may have caused the issue.

I don't have any problems on my Mini with the latest build (I read only epubs), and I don't see any open issues about these things on GitHub.
As long as noone at GitHub knows about these issues I don't think anyone is working on them!

First, thanks a lot for the better visibility of the mini progress bar at the bottom in portrait mode.

I'm giving you a link of a screenshot of an epub where some Persian words have a bar on top of "ā": koreader always makes a line break, embedded style on or off makes no difference

https://anonfiles.com/file/c6c16d45c...ff8044685e3676


and I mostly read pdf's in landscape mode, so I repeat my request for a more comfortable manual page crop mode, I'd like it to be much smoother and more flexible, allowing me to expand the vertical borders into the grey space outside the frame.


and with some epubs where there are large tables or maps, the page jumps several hundred pages forward, no idea why and when that happens

I'm running the 7/3 build of Koreader. I noticed it has more hyphenation algorithms. They are much better than before. Normally turning off hyphenation is one of the first things I do when I open a book. The new hyphenation is much better. I haven't noticed a mistake yet. Very nice!
