Profiles

mzel · 07-26-2020, 11:29 AM

I see the Profiles feature added in the 2020.07 build, but I do not see how can I use that. I created a profile called "day" with two options checked, but I see no visible change in behavior

You can currently activate them by long pressing on them. It will be expanded on in the future.

Can I ask for an enhancement? Can you add setting the warmth and the brightness to a fixed value as a part of the profile as opposed to increase/decrease?
Should I put this as an issue in github?

Frenzie · 07-27-2020, 12:59 PM

Sure, that makes it easier to keep track.

mzel · 07-28-2020, 10:20 AM

Done. Thanks in advance. I probably could do it myself, but I have never done anything in Docker/LUA, and I do not even have linux installed on my personal machine.

You don't need to compile anything just to play around with Lua. Editing the files on your device will do the trick.

Please add new Guesture under "Tap and Guestures" and new Command under "Profiles":
"Toggle Profiles"

With eg. "%profile-name profile is activated" popup message.

Please see https://github.com/koreader/koreader/pull/6441

Coming soon to a nightly near you (or stable if you wait a couple of weeks)

Thank you!

mzel · 08-02-2020, 08:33 PM

Thanks, this works!

Is there a way to assign a profile to a gesture?

sarigabor · 10-19-2020, 11:06 AM

Hello, Any news for this thread?

Yup. You can add n actions to a single gesture, and use that gesture instead of the profile.

AFAIK gestures can't invoke profile changes. These are two different plugins. Both are using the actions dispatcher, so they can do exactly the same, but you need to configure them separately. (The rationale is: a plugin can be disabled without affecting the behaviour of the rest).

TL;DR: Use a gesture and asign the same actions you're performing on a given profile.

Thanks, your suggestion works!

How would I transfer saved Profiles and Gestures files from one device to another? Where are they located?
