@ilovebook: Imagine the Finder window is a Windows Explorer window, and that the Terminal window is a Powershell window.
Magic! (No, seriously, it's eerily similar). |

I tried this simple install, and it worked beautifully.
Formatting, with regard to words spacing and hyphens, seems to work better than Nickel. One annoying thing, tho, is that any change to font, margins, spacing or anything take quite a long time to apply, especially on long book. It looks like it's recalculating the whole book formatting. Is there a way to limit this ? Maybe by recalculating only chapter or something ? |

@Simboubou: Nope, that's a design decision in CRe (the ePub engine used by KOReader). The trade-off is that page rendering is then much easier on the CPU (i.e., in the perfect scenario: performance hit once ([first] book open), performance gains many (navigating the book)).
It's a trade-off I'm generally happy with (although we are interested in degenerate cases where stuff is taking an inordinately large amount of time, c.f., the KOReader forum), although it's largely historical: CRe was designed way back when, when embedded devices had ridiculously low specs (... they still do. But it used to be way worse ). Feel free to try Plato, which probably does chunked parsing/decoding. Last edited by NiLuJe; 04-02-2020 at 12:52 AM. |

I may give Plato a try. Although to be fair, this whole thing is starting to make me unable to read a book without thinking "hum, this bit of text here would have been better formated by Nickel / KoReader". |

Hello!
I have tried two different methods to prevent Nickel from scanning *nix hidden folders. I tried the steps you mentioned here https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...3&postcount=70 but it showed up a message saying I couldn't write on that file so I must duplicate it to do it... Next I tried what you said in the second post of this: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=314220 but when I open the install.command with terminal nothing happened. Here's a print screen https://www63.zippyshare.com/v/jG6XSBTN/file.html I use Mac OS and Kobo Clara HD. Can you help me please? Thank you! |

@miguelvaz: The first bit vaguely looks like macOS is mounting the partition read-only, which is... bad?
I have no idea if macOS can fsck FAT32, so, unless someone more familiar with Apple stuff has a bright idea, get your hands on a Windows/Linux system and run a filesystem check there. As for the second bit, assuming you did nothing wrong, no real clue about what got Terminal's panties in a twist, I'm not running Catalina, no issues on 10.14 on my end.

Yeah, it certainly wouldn't be unheard of, and in this specific case, my money would be on a side-effect of the dirty bit issue with Nickel...

It's been a while since I've last done this, so I don't remember if it works on vfat, but try "sudo diskutil repairVolume /dev/disk#s#".

Either you mangled the download, or you actually saved it as .ps1.txt with the .txt being "helpfully" hidden from you, because Windows is terrible.
There are ways to tell Windows not to do stupid stuff like that (hide known/common file extensions), but they depend heavily on which version of Windows you're running. IIRC, it should be somewhere around the "Folder Settings" (or whatever it's actually called) of Windows's Explorer. |

Iirc in Windows 10 you can reach it under the view tab → Options.
In Windows 7 you can press Alt in Explorer, then Tools → Folder Options. You should also be able to find it by just typing Folder Options in the start search. Last edited by Frenzie; 04-13-2020 at 03:01 PM. |

Hi all, love Koreader--love hacking ereaders!
For me with a brand new Kobo Libra H2O, I tried to install using the windows install script. It appears to add content/reset, but when it reboots, nothing changes. The reader looks as it did before, and no new books are in my library. Please help, thank you! |

@briankaemingk: Did the "Processing new content" screen pop up on eject?
