I'm still having problems with PRS+ seeing collections on my 505. I did what what suggested in the thread I started, which was trying to see the collections in safe mode. When in safe mode, the reader doesn't see the collections from my MS/SD cards, only on the internal memory. If I delete everything off the card and reload the card, then the collections will be seen until the reader reboots for some reason.
I was told I didn't need collections because I have folders but my folders are saved under authors' names and not the series (collections) that I use to choose what to read next. I use Calibre 0.7.12 to load my books to the reader. |

Don't know if it will help or not but you are using a very old version of calibre... it's currently 0.8.13 for PC and Mac (0.7.28 for non-Intel Mac), also you can put your series (collections ) in sub-folders within the author folders... sub-folders work fine...

TechTalk:
While searching the sources to find a solution to the LRF-StandbyImage problem with PRS-505 I came across some interesting definitions in kbook.kbookPage [EDIT] for x50 models [/EDIT]
While 1 and 2 are already working, I see no differences when changing 3. It's to early to push to the repository, but I will attach the code of x50_ViewerSettings - Addon Spoiler:
Any comments or hints are highly welcome. Last edited by Mark Nord; 08-16-2011 at 02:06 AM. Reason: added x50 |

Wow overwhelming reactions
But I've managed to get 3 working as well. For a unknown reason kbook.kbookPage.NotMarkOverlapArea will be reset to "true". So I had to overload kbook.kbookPage.draw and set NotMarkOverlapArea = false there. This way the overlapping lines in landscape mode are again greyed on my PRS-650. |

Some feedback and acknowledgement is always welcome! Expect the new addon pushed to the repository this weekend. Then you can pull the changes and build your own custom installer. Otherwise this will be included in the next "official" PRS+ build. Kind regards Mark |

Thanks kartu!
But pardon me. Where to put it into? I have now a new addon "x50_ViewerSettings.js", with the various options placed under PRS+Settings / Book-Viewer-Settings, which makes perfect sense for me. |

Oh well, leave it there then.
PS On a reader device, a lot of settings fall into "viewer settings" category. Most "disable doubleclick reader" users would refer to this feature as "disabling dictionary". Rationale for "advanced" settings is: you can throw a bunch of different stuff there, users won't get confused or complain. Last edited by kartu; 08-19-2011 at 03:22 AM. |

Hi there.
Just installed new version of PRS+ on my 505 and I really love the LRF font scaling funtionality !! NOW scaling can be really useful. I have a couple of questions, I hope you excuse me if this is already explained, but I was unable to find the answers among the 158 page thread :-) 1.- In the menu customization, is there a reason why positions 2 and 10 are locked? 2.- Can't be font scaling settings applied when reading ePub also? I know you can change epub text size via CSS, but when my eyes get tired I would be great to just press the zoom and get a nice slightly larger text without digging into PRS settings... Also, is there a way to tell the reader to re-page all open books for example after LRF scaling or after changing the default font? Thank you for this awsome piece of software |

(If the second I think there should be some code in PRS+ for 505 - rescan internal memory - to demonstrate the principle) PS: "Book-Viewer-Settings" there is only "EPUB user-style" right now, or am I missing something? Last edited by Mark Nord; 08-19-2011 at 03:38 AM. |

But I don't understand ... I mean, the reader already handles text scaling in EPUB by default, like in LRF. The user experience is the same, although maybe internally it is handled by different processes, I guess?? What I would like is to keep having the same user experience in both LRF and EPUB after tweaking the default scaling factors. So for my EPUB I set a base CSS with my preferred font and size, but when I get a bit tired, currently I have two options: - choose another CSS file with a bit larger font size - more comfortable -> press zoom and accept that i will get the reader's default scaling factor, which is probably larger than I need -> is not possibe to tweak this scaling factors to match LRF custom settings? I'm just saying, the user experience would be more consistent if the custom scaling steps could be set for ALL the books, whatever format. I can't imagine my mother trying to figure out if this one book is LRF or ePUB so she can decide the best way to enlarge text to a readable size whenever she gets tired eyes... I was just wondering if maybe you have not implemented it, because probably tweaking the scaling behaviour for EPUB is just too hard, or even impossible... Thanks |
