This is not a meaningful line, it is only an example. "some shell command" has to be replaced by a real command, cf. the quote above. Last edited by tshering; 03-13-2013 at 12:13 PM. |

I'm by no means a programmer or something like that. So, I need further instructions.
1. Do I have to substitute 'tweaks.tweaksSettings()' by 'tweaks=tweaksSettings()'? 2. Which one could be the "real command" that I have to put at the place of "some shell command \"? You are right: when I re-opened the .ini-file, my impression was as if the plugin had substituted my entries by some other ones. Meanwhile, I have been playing a little, and I saved the file in "Kobotweaks"; now my insertions stay there (more or less), but the result was the same as after the first installation of the plugin. I save the file in notepad++, but directly in the .kobo file of the reader. Is this a wrong procedure? Sorry for my ignorance! thanks for your help anyway! |

I think you need
word_to_see_in_menu=tweaks.shelves() and so on so maybe you want shelves=tweaks.shelves() web=tweaks.openBrowser() sudoku=tweaks.sudoku() etc As for tweaks.executeSystemCmd(\"some shell command \") it all depends on what you want to accomplish! |

Aha, Peter, that's illuminating and conclusive. I'll give a try later and hope it'll work.
Thanks a lot so far! Jürgen |

Kobo touch tweaks 2.4.0 Fw
This was what I changed, but the result was a middle catastrophe. The "Tools" button appeared, but of all the options I choose, there only worked "Shelves" and "ReadingLife", i. e. they didn't work, they only appeared on the screen. It wasn't even possible to power down the engine, nor to open the "Tools" to achieve the "Reboot" button. So I in stalled the plugin completely new, so that the settings that I had manipulated disappeared from the .ini file.
I think I better stop scamping this way and content me with the Kobo settings. Nevertheless, thanks to you! |

Soerry I have never used the plugin so I have to defer to others as to how it works, and on which F/W levels.

No problem! That has surely been an erroneous procedure of mine.
How I came across the tweaks plugin (that seems to really be great, if it works), was a very different problem, that I until now not found in any forum. When I start the KT, there appear at the booting, for a short time, some pre-installed books (such as Umberto Eco, but also Kobo Read on an so). Even having archieved for example the Umberto Eco (that is possible under Fw. 2.4.0), it still appears. After some seconds the screen clears up, and there appear my "own" books that I'm reading. My reasoning was that the booting could become faster, if the system won't access these "Kobo files" first. I had hoped that with the plugin this could be managed. Deleting the files has not been possible, neither under Calibre ("virtual file"). Someone knows the problem? |

Then, this vanishes, and my sideloaded books (on SD-card) appear as usual. As far as I can see, bookmarks are working properly on them when open. But this is not the progress that I tried to achieve; I have been searching for a way of "eliminating" the pace when the device first accesses the Kobo files. this but seems to be impossible. |

For sideloaded books, whether they are manually added or via ADE or calibre, it is a little better to use the device to delete them. That makes sure everything is cleaned up properly. Deleting from calibre is also safe and simpler if you want to remove a lot of books. Quote:

As to DNSB: The "flash" also remains for some 20 seconds, even with an empty internal bibliotheque. But I suspect that the deleted books will reappear on the next sync. Besides, I'm still full of sorrow that the tweaks plugin doesn't work on my KT with the home screen manipulations. |

I also found that the uSD card has quite a effect on the time it took to display the books stored there. There was a discussion together with some test results for various brands -- generally, SanDisk cards came up with the best results on small reads/writes. The results were very surprising with the speeds on 4K blocks varying wildly. On my laptop using it's internal SD card reader, a SanDisk 4GB Class 4 card managed 1.6MB/S using the Crystal DiskMark small block write while a Patriot 16GB Class 10 card managed a pathetic 0.20MB/S (or 200KB/S) result. The read performance doesn't vary as widely but is still very noticeable and seems to have little relation to the large block speed. Sample from the discussion from a while back: For your edification, here are some CrystalDiskMark results from 2 sucky cards and the good Sandisk. __Test_______________Sandisk 8G Class 2___Patriot 8G Class 10____Kingston Class4 4Gig Sequential Read :__________10.871 MB/s________20.036 MB/s___________18.700 MB/s Sequential Write :__________6.659 MB/s________13.660 MB/s____________4.277 MB/s Random Read 4KB (QD=32) :__3.077 MB/s_________3.444 MB/s____________2.088 MB/s Random Write 4KB (QD=32) :__1.791 MB/s________0.038 MB/s_____________0.016 MB/s Regards, David Last edited by DNSB; 03-15-2013 at 03:26 PM.

As to the SD card types: I think anybody could tell his own experiences. In my case, the SanDisc (I believe, it was a 4 MB type) was the first one that I bought and lead immediately to the crash of the KT. I tried, afterwards, another SD card of a certain brand that I don't remember, same effect. At last, I bought a no name offer in the supermarket, and this works pretty fine. I have but no means to show the processing details of it. |

I did consider putting all of my books on the internal memory - after all, I'm a long way from using it all - but then one day I did a factory reset, and realized that there's so much less work to do when my collection is on the SD, as factory reset clears the internal memory but not the external. |
