Marvin 3.1.1
Thank you, Kris!!
Info from iTunes: NOTE: I just noticed that the inserted picture (an iTunes screen-capture) does not appear when I read this post on my iPad. It shows up fine when I use my Windows PC. Don't know why ... sorry! Last edited by MartyTX; 08-17-2017 at 07:15 PM. Reason: Picture not showing on iPad |

I believe this is the cause because Marvin also often flips pages for me – when it shouldn't – when I make highlights, or when I simply tap a word towards one of the edges of the screen (right, left, top, or bottom) to look up its definition, etc. Other than this concern, I'm posting my reaction to the last few pages of this thread as a separate post, titled The Status of Marvin: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=289926 You know, Marvin's development has – once again – slowed down to such a crawl I now only find it necessary to visit MobileRead (or this subsection of it) twice a year or so. And so, see you all later in 2018, I guess. Happy Christmas! |

By the way, one of the finest additions in Marvin 3 is actually that you can now tell Marvin to display your reading progress in percentages with 0, 1 or 2 decimals. In Marvin 2, only zero decimals were used – so for Marvin 2, your explanation would make sense (rounding down, etc.). But since Marvin 3 does support 2 percentage decimals for tracking reading progress, it would be surprising if it did not make use of those 2 decimals to keep the reader at the present location (if percentages are, indeed, used for that purpose). It almost appears as if in those troublesome situations where we're noticing the bugs, Marvin 3 is still using the "legacy" method of keeping the reading location that was used in Marvin 2, while for syncing locations between devices, Marvin 3 has now switched to a more precise location syncing via iCloud. But those are merely guesses on my part and I may be imagining things. (Still, one type of "keeping your location" works offline, while the other by definition cannot, so perhaps Marvin does employ two different methods in the two situations.) |

Has anyone updated to the newest version of Dropbox without upgrading to iOS 11? Any problems using it with Marvin 3.1?
NOTE: Just editing to say that, even without updating anything, I now get an error message (400) asking if I'm connected to the Internet (I am) when I try to access Dropbox via Marvin. Anyone else experiencing this? Last edited by dandelioncottage; 09-28-2017 at 02:59 PM. |

I HAVE updated both iOS and dropbox and get an error message as well.... so, it appears that either iOS or dropbox changed something. I'm sure Kris will get on that as soon as someone reports it properly (bug report sticky here)
Good news!...dropbox with Marvin and iOS 11 still works properly - just click on 'OK' to clear the message. |

Does this mean you have to update to iOS 11 for Dropbox integration to work within Marvin? My Marvin and Dropbox apps are up to date, and I'm still on iOS 10, and I'm getting the error 400.

I don't think so. I just click on the 'OK' at the bottom of the message and it works fine. Try it and let us know how it works without upgrading iOS - or upgrade iOS and it'll work.

That didn't work for me... I then updated iOS and it still didn't work. Does it have something to do with the Dropbox update do you know?

No, I don'tr know. I update all apps as they come out, though. So you may want to try that.

Kris tweeted this today:
Hello everyone. I’m aware of the Marvin/Dropbox problem. I should have it fixed + other updates by next week. Sorry about the inconvenience. |
