You can probably use NM to toggle it, or NDB to make it depend on the active view.

That may be true for the small percentage of users with your tech skills. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.

Having to actively toggle on/off via NickelMenu wouldn't be particularly useful, at least for me. Having MiniClock automatically being context-aware might be useful, but if it requires NickelDBus then it's way outside my comfort zone.

Would it be possible to have a patch that prevents series names from being converted to uppercase and left as is?

If it is the driver, I will put in a request elsewhere.
It is absolutely not in the driver. I have no idea why you would think it was.

I didn't know if it was or not. Thanks for info. Hopefully a patch can be created to keep the series as entered in Calibre without the uppercasing.

Bump!

Is it possible for the patch I requested so the series names is not being uppercased and is left as it is in Calibre?

I'll look at it next time I work on the patches. Feel free to open an issue on GitHub so I don't forget.

I'm new to kobo, been away for a few years. I wanted to add the "Freedom to advanced fonts control' in the Patch libnickel.so.1.0.0 (working from very old notes, sorry) but I can't actually find that setting in libinickel. Has it been changed? Thanks

Here are my kobopatch.yaml overrides for firmware 4.26.16704. You can use it to select which patches you want. You'll be able to easily see which patches you have selected to install. Plus you can put in notes as you want. You'll see I have notes showing me which patches I do edit.

Code:
## Works with kobopatch v0.15.0 and later.
## You can update kobopatch by downloading the latest release from https://github.com/pgaskin/kobopatch/releases.

## You can put lines in the following section to override the enabled state of patches.

Is there any way to write a patch that, when you highlight a word or phrase, breaks the "search" option in the resulting menu into the two choices that you get if you tap "search"? I.e., have the "search in book" and "search on web" options appear as part of the initial menu?

I'm always searching in the book (lousy memory for characters) and it would be nice (although hardly essential) to get rid of the extra tap.
