KOReader 2019.10 and Kobo Libra: Upside down and reversed!

[linguinee]

Installation was a snap with the one click script and KOReader launches...afterwards things get tricky.

KOReader's display orients itself upside down to the position of the Libra reader itself -- portrait and landscape.

One really enters the looking glass ;-) upon interacting with KOReader's menus as gestures and taps are seemingly registered and mapped to menus and controls 180 degrees from where they actually occur. For instance, an upside down menu item at the top of Libra's screen is invoked be touching the bottom of the screen.

Anyone else with a Libra and KOReader experiencing similar funhouse tendencies?

I'm guessing you're currently starting KOReader from a non-standard orientation (I take the standard "Portrait" to be Portrait, buttons on the right, FWIW).

That will indeed result in fun rotation shenanigans, for a very stupid reason .
(i.e., we do nothing instead of enforcing Portrait on startup).

The fix hasn't yet hit a nightly, but I'll get it in the day after tomorrow at worst.

In the meantime, things *should* behave as long as you're launching KOReader with Nickel in Portrait (provided Nickel doesn't decide to rotate on open ;p).

Ahh, after the initial configuration of the Libra I didn't think to revisit my settings but, yes, as you suspected, I usually read with the button panel *on the left* as I'm left handed -- and right thinking ;-).

I'll stay tuned for the regular updates. Thank you for your efforts.

Today's nightly should include the fix .
