Do I have to fix the touchscreen rotation with each update?

my settings are:
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=kobo:touchscreen_rotate=90:touchsc reen_invert_x=0:touchscreen_invert_y=0:logicaldpit arget=108

this gives my the corrent orientation for touch input, but the input is offset to the right, which means I cannot click the top left menu

Is there something i can do to tweak this offset issue?

I always had the "touch offset" with my Aura HD.
I opened an issue in July : https://github.com/Rain92/UltimateMangaReader/issues/11

I'm still willing to help, OfficerAction just drop me some instructions in the issue. I can compile and stuff.

For now yes. But do post your custom settings and I will try to include them for the next release. This goes for other models as well. I don't have an oveliew about which model needs tweaks atm.

For the Kobo Libra h2o I made the following change to ultimatemangareader.sh

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=kobo:touchscreen_rotate=90:touchscreen_invert_x=auto:touchscreen_invert_y=auto:logicaldpitarget=108

libra h2o's screen is 300 dpi tho not 108.

logicaldpitarget is used to have a uniform layout for all devices.
It has nothing to do with the actual screen dpi.
Just ignore it

Version 2.10.1 just got released.
This will fix the touchscreen issues for the Mini, Aura and other devices.
The auto rotation for the Libra and maybe others should also work now.

Let me know if the touchscreen or auto rotation for other devices is broken now.

Hi OfficerAction,

I tried out the new release (2.10.1) on my Kobo Clara HD and the touchscreen input seems to be messed up. I found tapping the top of the screen actually activates the buttons at the bottom in an inverted manner (see attached image)

Hope this helps with debugging.

I was able to fix this on my Clara HD using the line

export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=kobo:touchscreen_rotate=90:touchscreen_invert_x=0:touchscreen_invert_y=0:logicaldpitarget=108

in ultimatemangareader.sh.

So I started using UMR more and more with time. And I couldn't help but a notice a couple of recurrent bugs that keep getting on my way :
1/ Not really a bug, but there it is. Upon launching the app, the screen's luminosity and warmth is set to their lowest settings ignoring any prelaunch settings. Making it impossible to see anything in bed without any sources of light. And there is no way to tweak the screen's settings without first loading a manga wich makes it extra hard in any pitch black environment.
2/ Most of the time the luminosity and warmth sliders do not work without a sleep -> power up cycle.
3/ Half of the time when I put my tablet to sleep it does not wake up and I have to hard reset it.
4/ The "connection to wifi" upon waking up can sometimes takes way longer than usual (but that one might be because I'm living in a flat with a ton of wifi interferences)

So in the end, before using UMR I often have to line up all the odds or reset my device (libra h2o) once or twice.

I have the same issue with the frontlight, but I never made the connection that I need to put the device on sleep. I also have the Libra H2O.

yeah it's not a 100% safe strat (cf linked YT video) but it works most of the time. I didn't find any other ways to have those sliders working.

EDIT : well it seems like 2.10.1 completly broke those sliders. No ammount of sleep / wake up cycle fixes it for me.

I was looking for f.e. Attack on titans and whenever I try to read it from the first chapter, the app closes itself and returns to the kobo main menu...

But it’s not with all manga’s... Reading on my Kobo Forma
