One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato - Page 33

drdixon3 · 01-15-2021, 04:09 PM

Hi everyone, just tried installing KOreader + Plato for my new Forma on my Mac using the automated method in post 2, but when I open install.command, the message "No supported packages found in the current directory!" comes up in Terminal because I am a total noob and clicked the wrong button when I tried installing the first time—I think I denied permission for the app to function. Is there any way I can override this? Thanks for your help!

@drdixon3: Unlikely to be related, that's an error from the script itself, which implies it ran. You just borked the unpacking.

Thanks very much for the install script! I'm looking forward to getting to grips with KOReader, to see if it enhances my experience at all. Priority one is figuring out how to lock the screen rotation since it defaults to assuming the buttons are being held on the right, not the left, and keeps flipping with the slightest movement of my hand.

@Uncle Robin: Top menu > Gear tab > Screen > Rotation

Thank you! Hopefully the combination of "ignore accelerometer rotation events" and "keep current rotation across views" will allow me to concentrate on exploring KOReader's functionality without needing to stand on my head.

(Note that that last one [the sticky rota option] had some teething quirks that were fixed after 2020.12

).

The combo seems to be working well - prior to setting them, even when the screen was properly oriented while reading, hitting sleep would see the " Sleeping" info box show up upside down. Now,it's not

Many, many thanks for this video—now both KOreader and Plato are up and running!

I open System32 once (don't ask) and now everything is messed up. The install script is only looking in System32 even though the script is located in Downloads. So I had to unzip manually. Help? TIA.

Thank you, NiLuJe.
Just manually installed it on my H2O v1 with FW v4.25.15875.
Everything works great.

P.S.
wish the Step #4 in the first post was described a little bit better, since i had no idea what to do with the shell script you linked on github and had to read through the whole thread to figure it out ^.^'
(I also had adblock/umatrix on, so the browser didnt jump to relevant the part of the shell-script on github when i clicked the link, since the "#L114-L130" part only works with javascript on).

Hi is it possible to hide other folders from the menu when adding the exclude to the config file? I want to hide my manga folder from being scanned as its got hundreds of files without metadata and make the main book listings super messy. I tried the following but it didn't work

ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe|Manga).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)

I tried this on a factory reset device and it still scanned my Manga folder which was in the usb storage root

Preferably I'd like it to be in /Documents/Manga so is it possible to exclude that path?

It's a regular expression syntax. Your sequence is correct not to work the way you expect. Try the following:

ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|Manga.+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)

This should ignore /Manga .

Awesome thankyou

Will this work for Documents/Manga?

ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+| Documents/Manga.+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+)

NiLuJe · 01-23-2021, 07:50 PM

Or, just rename it to .Manga, and have it magically work without further faffing about?

While we're on the subject of KOReader and manga, I've always wanted to ask.

With Nickel, using Calibre, you can write metadata for files that normally don't support it. (e.g. CBZ)

Is there any way to do something similar for KOReader?
