The 505 in libprs500 - Page 9

Custom · 01-13-2008, 07:02 PM

I've found one in the root. I've cancelled it, as at the first attemp that failed, but this time everything seems to work. I don't know why, but I am happy of it.

Thanks for your job!

Hello ... This has been fixed with the latest version of libprs500 (4.33). It mouse no longer jumps around on my laptop. Thank!!

What other bugs are in this new version?

I have 3 questions:
(1) I have some .rtf files - is there some reason or limitation with .rtfs that would make it better to change these to .lrf or is .rtf fine?
(2) if I have an ebook in the libprs500 database as both a .rtf and a .lrf which one gets transferred to the reader or do both get transferred?
(3) Once I have converted a .lit to a .lrf should I disconnect the .lit from the database?

I think you can see what I am getting at with these questions.

(1) not really, though I like the fact that I can adjust base font size in LRF files
(2) LRF
(3) No

Thanks a bunch!

My library1.db is around 150MBs even though I deleted two .rtfs that were around 40MB from within the GUI.

In the library1.db are there only .lrfs and the rest are links to the hardrive (for locations of .rtf and .lit files - I am almost positive this is not the case)?

or....

is it likely I need to run a repair and compact utility? - is there a link for one?

library1.db keeps RTFs and LITs in the database as well. When you delete things from a database, free space is not necessarily recovered. The next version of libprs500 will have a compact database button in the config dialog.

FYI, the link to the new version is down.

Sweet. Now to update from SVN as I continue to tinker.

Maybe because of the ( ) Try removing them from the title and then saving

Hi Kovid,

I had a little issue with the image libprs takes from a pdf. It's mirrored upside down. I don't know if that was already mentioned. This almost always happens.
I updated from 0.4.31 to 0.4.35 but the mirroring is still there. Now since 0.4.35 the weird german chars for direct speed (looks like >> <<) are converted into two strangelooking characters like a f and a t. Back to 0.4.31 it's ok again.

Thanks for your program
Andi

kovidgoyal · 02-05-2008, 12:06 PM

Yeah the rotated images are a bug in pdftohtml, I've informed the authors about it, hopefully, it will get fixed. There is a regression in 0.4.35 on character encodings in PDF, already fixed in svn.

andinho · 02-05-2008, 12:21 PM

Thanks Kovid. I also found a few examples with missing german umlauts, do you need one?
