[Plugin] Favourites Menu for Settings

kiran · Yesterday, 02:06 AM

Hi guys, just thought I'd pop in here and post the new plugin I've released. It's a favourites bar at the top that lets you pin settings/plugins/menus in one easy-to-access place.

The plugin can be found here

Installation instructions can be found in the readme, but the easiest way is to just git clone the repository into the ../.adds/koreader/plugins directory.

Plugins can be added by selecting 'Add a favourite' in the new menu icon, and selecting the checkbox next to a setting. Submeus can be added to favourites the same way, except you enter the menu and select the checkbox at the top.

I just installed your plugin. It's similar to Applauncher but gets you further down into the menu structure which I like. Some quick observations: I was adding a few Quick actions and noticed I had to restart KOReader before they would show up. Perhaps I am missing something, but after adding Quick actions while in reader mode (Gesture overview, History, etc.) they did nothing. Is there something else I need to do to activate them? They work fine in my own QuickMenus. I find this a very useful plugin which I will likely keep installed.

Nice plugin, which hopefully will reduce the click through marathon for more often used settings.

I found the selected items of the QuickMenu in the list of the favourite items. The options under QuickMenu position did nothing for me. I wonder what it should look like. Maybe kiran could add some screenshots here or on his github site.
I also would prefer if you could add a normal release on github. That makes it easier to follow up on updates. Plus I first downloaded the zip of all the files and put that in the KOReader plugin folder. Of course I forgot to rename the folder (and delete the "-main" part) and wondered why the plugin didn't appeared in the list of user plugins. After renaming the plugin appeared eventually.

Cheers for the suggestion guys - I’m fairly busy over the next few days but I’ll take a look and update here once they’ve been made.
