Plato: A document reader for PDF, ePUB, DjVu, etc. - Page 6

AlterusPrime: I've made a new build that should hopefully fix the problem. Could you repeat the same procedure?

AlterusPrime · 01-28-2018, 02:28 PM

Nice, works like a charm now!

I've released 0.3.4.

This version mainly fixes the bug that prevented the main menu from appearing on the Glo, Aura and Aura 2nd Edition.

Thanks for share.
Could you post the steps that how install it ?
It will be friendly for rookie, like me ^^.

Excuse me, Does Plate support txt file, or multibyte charactor, like chinese, japanese etc? I could not find this information from guide and github.

Plato can become a very good program: it should be faster than koreader.

It is a little bit difficult that it is at first rotated 90 degree and you have to read this forum to find out how to change it.

Why does it have 9 threads running, though my e reader has only one processor and I am reading only one e-book?

ps -T|grep plato

baskerville,

I am asking here, even though the question is only slightly related to this thread. In KSM 09, I am using your fmon instead of the version by Sergey, in order to monitor exit_nickel.png and so on. However, when one connects (from within nickel) the device as mass storage, all instances of fmon exit. Is this the expected behaviour of your version?

I'm aware of the problem and I'm trying to fix it.

Have you followed the instructions given in the guide?

Really nice job, thank you very much!

There's a feature I miss (or just didn't find!) and that is available in koreader, it's the ability, when reading a PDF to set a width (like we can do with the little bottom left button in plato) and have the height adapt to that width, even if that makes a page end at the center of the screen (and a new one to start there, after a little grey line). Dunno if I'm clear, I hope you'll understand what I mean. Is it possible right now? If it isn't I guess it should be easy to implement, isn't it?

Impressive work anyway, congrats!

mupdf's japanese font (Source Han Sans) adds 24 MiB to libmupdf.so, so it hasn't been included. Droid Sans Fallback is used instead: I'm not sure if it provides enough characters.

There's 1 main thread, 4 threads for event processing, 2 threads to forward events to the main receiving channel, and 2 threads for the clock and battery timers.

This is in doc/TODO.md: Fit to width. Repage.

What I mean by repage is a slight variation of fit to width that piles blocks (lines, images) until it reaches a given ratio.
