I reapplied my patches and everything is working as it did before for me. Have you double-checked? You might have forgotten to activate the Spacer patch.

Thanks, but which one is the "spacer patch"?

'Reduce top/bottom page spacer'

Check if you enabled this patch.

Somewhere along the way the cygwin part of kobopatch.sh seems to moved into the Linux case statement, so when you run kobopatch.sh on cygwin nothing happens. Most annoying .

The following patch moves it back to where it should be.

Bonjour,
j'ai installé le nouveau firmware sur ma kobo aura H2o. Visiblement l'affichage des séries ne fonctionne pas totalement.
J'aurai deux questions:
1 - quel utilitaire choisir pour explorer la base de données de la Kobo
2 - j'essaye de télécharger "seriesmeta" sur mon PC, mais Windows la rejette car elle contiendrait un virus.
Merci de vos réponses

Why not just use the .bat file under Windows proper?

English please.

Ok, sorry
Hello
I installed the new firmware on my kobo Aura H2O. Obviously the series display doesn't work totally.
I'll have two questions:
1 - which utility to choose to explore the Kobo database
2 - I try to download "seriesmeta" on my PC, but Windows rejects it because it would contain a virus.
Thank you for your answers

Yes, the series display does work totally. You do not need to explore the Kobo database. seriesmeta is no a virus. WHat AV are you using?

What to do is use Calibre with the current version of the Kobo Utilities plugin. Select all the eBooks on your H2O from the library. Then update the series metadata and that will get the series tab working with the book on your H2O.

Fairly new to Kobo, got a Clara HD at Xmas. Have updated and patched and all works well. A quick question, is there anywhere in the patches to increase the size of the progress bar at the bottom, or maybe to add a percentage read figure at the end of it?

Not a biggy or desperately needed, just curious.

Cheers

I think I remember saying something previously about planning to include that. I'll fix that now.

That vaguely rings a bell?

You've got it all wrong. You do not need to fire up a command prompt. You just double click the .bat file and it runs the command prompt and the command prompt closes when done. I know for sure that the .bat works under Windows proper. I don't have to play around with the .bat to get it working. Yes you may prefer Cygwin, but native Windows just works better in this case.

Kobo Touch A.
I steadily apply the Kobo Patches, which really is a great thing, many thanks for it!
One of my favourite patches is the "Make full justification the default" in "KEPUB stylesheet additions" of libnickel.so.1.0.0.yaml. My setting is this:

    # Example 1: Make full justification the default:
  - ReplaceString: {Offset: 467, Find: "/******************************************/", Replace: "body{text-align:justify                    }", MustMatchLength: yes}
    #

and I receive this message:

 kobopatch.ReplaceString index=9 line=993
          |         ReplaceString(467, "/******************************************/", "body{text-align:justify                    }")
          |         could not apply patch "KePub stylesheet additions": line 993: inst 9: ReplaceString: could not find specified bytes
        --> could not apply patch "KePub stylesheet additions": line 993: inst 9: ReplaceString: could not find specified bytes

I checked what I could but could not find the error. Can someone, please, help?
All other patches work fine!

Edit: In earlier patches the offset was 0x023B. Does this matter?
Edit': Thje same error happens when I try to activate #Example 2
