Komic, a Kindle comic reader

[twobob]

.em is relative sizing for text.

I'm no genius when it comes to coding but if I can help I happily will.

A worked before and after example for WAF 5.1.2 > 5.3.2 would go a long way to getting some old dying apps fixed up.

Thanks mate.
IIRC I did try a simple sqlite appreg.db UPDATE to something WHERE etc...
and got no joy perhaps I should try again then.

mesquites? or mequite, mequite right. cheers.

I made a screenshot of the relevant part of the appreg.db entry for Komic.
And, just to be exhaustive, here's an upstart script from Amazon: CLICK ME!

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to silver18 again

But thanks

Just another small feature.
Komic now supports ComicInfo.xml files.
You can read something here.

Just place the comicInfo.xml file inside the comic folder and choose "Comic info" in Komic menu.
You can then choose any comic and see its info (if present).

Here's an example

@Silver18 is Komic ready now for the latest Paperwhite firmware?

I'll try to add the "self adjusting" ability to next release but don't rely on it!

Moreover, I don't know if everything will work on Paperwhite (apart from the GUI itself): Amazon always changes things from a firmware to another!

[twobob]

Lol... You don't actually mention the "Current" version number on that post Silver

AFIAK the NEXT (2.2) release will support 5.3.2. as opposed to the current release.

Hope that is nice and clear.

2.1

KOMIC DOESN'T WORK OOTB IN 5.3.2 FIRMWARE AND ON THE PAPERWHITE. PLEASE WAIT FOR A NEW RELEASE!.

2.2

The future... Should support the later devices.

[silver18]

LOL, sorry!!!
This is true:
V2.1 supports Kindle Touch 5.1.2
V2.2 will supports Kindle Touch 5.3.2 and maybe Kindle Paperwhite but with some (many) glitches (I'll have to find a nice and patient tester!)

[silver18]

Komic V2.2 is out. Check the first post and, please, read again the whole thing as I changed lots of things!
As always, I hope everything works!

Goes to test...

The "update_komic_v2.2_install.bin" file disappears from my Kindle PW 5.3.3 as soon as i unplug it from my laptop.

errr.... what? do you mean PaperWhite 5.3.3

(do you mean the UPDATE MY KINDLE is greyed out)
most likely it is NOT packed to support PW

if that ISNT the case (which it probably is)

how do you know?
via SSH? if you mean "I CANT UPDATE MY KINDLE BECAUSE IT IS GREYED OUT" then better to actually say that than making assumptions about why.

thanks

One more thing... I dont see PW support listed - I see Kindle Touch 5.3.2 but hey I could be wrong.

running any "update blocker" modifications by any chance?

also... how do you know?

via SSH?

I have Kindle Launcher installed with a number of extensions. I'm not sure if any of them is blocking update? I know that PW is not listed to be supported but I thought i would give it a try.

[twobob]

fair enough.

If I had a paperwhite I would have a go at porting this... or checking if it could be repacked.

but I don't.

Sorry

EDIT: I updated my previous post to be more SPECIFIC
