This is the output i get after i run the bat file (im on windows 7)

Post print-screen of the "3.19.5613.bat" cmd.exe output.

EDIT: It's look like it don't create "KoboRoot.tgz" file, so you probably have an ERROR.
Disable all the patches, except for one patch, and check if you get an ERROR.
In output cmd.exe it should say "Creating archive KoboRoot.tgz...Everything is OK".

The patches `Disable reading footer` and `Custom reading footer style` don't work together so maybe that causing the problem.

thank you for looking in to it.

I do get the message saying everything is ok:

Double click on "3.19.5613.bat", it run cmd.exe automaticly.

Some time ago a user reported the same problem. I proposed a possible solution then, but the user did not respond in any way. So I do not know whether it worked. And I cannot remember the FW version. So one would have to search for it.

Edit: If you like extract the file 3.19.5613_TEST.bat from the archive and try it.

Thanks a lot! It works perfect with this batch file.

I am glad it worked. Could you please type "help" in the cmd window and look whether the list that will be shown on the screen contains "FIND" and "FINDSTR"?

[tshering]

@GeoffR
I modified the batch file slightly to prevent the above mentioned problem.

[jlinear]

I successfully applied the patch to my H2O. Thanks, GeoffR.

I tried to do that but for some reason it does not recognize help as a command in cmd

[Nick_1964]

Think that there are problems in the path settings, if there is no path known to the find or findstr commands, it can't execute them..

I think Nick_1964 is right. Could you please check whether the script posted in post #53 works, BEFORE you correct your path (cf. for instance this discussion)?

GeoffR can you add my patch 'Dictionary frame size', to post #2.

Thanks, I've added those to post #2.

Thanks, I've updated the zip attached to post #1 to include the new 3.19.5613.bat.

I've also updated the .sh script to choose the files to patch based on which *.patch files exist in the 3.19.5613_source subdirectory, as the .bat script already does.

I've tried the batch file in post 53 and it works!
