Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

I'll have a look - I'll need to set up a diablo scratchbox and make sure if compiles and runs there first.

good to see this app getting the love it needs...

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

warning...noticed in the last build...

defaulted to saving 1 line on new page from old page. I moved that to 0 and changed nothing else in preferences. suddenly fbreader looked and acted differernt...looked again in preferences and every box was now unchecked...hmm there is a major glitch somewhere in this new build I think...

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

Yes, looks like it's failing to read the value from the checkbox fields. Editing any value would seem to clear them all. I'll look into this ASAP.

thanks it is developers like you who keep this device alive...

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

Version 0.12.10-12 now uploaded. The changes are:

• Fixed read of checkbox config state
• Fixed checkbox dependencies
• Fixes to allow building on Maemo 4

I've uploaded this for both Fremantle and Diablo. The Diablo version doesn't support keeping the display on (I've not found any code for that yet), and doesn't feature the hildonised menu & config (as this is all using Maemo 5 specific code). The remaining features should be exactly the same though.

The source code changes are available from here.

Thanks now I can get back to reading on my n900 :)

If I find anything I will not report it till monday so you can have a weekend....

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

just update the fbreader to the latest version.
seems the preference do have some bugs, i made the change but when enter preference again, all things reset back to the status earlier.

even the fullscreen mode don't have the button to exit it.
yes, i do choose , show the exit fullscreen button in the menu.

Re: New FBReader build in Extras-Devel
 

I guess this makes me a liar.

I resorted all my original check boxes. I have it opening in fs mode. Now when I go to library and click on a book (I have it in the most basic library view where all it does is show the names of the books, no icons) and click on a book (either the one I was just on or on another one) it says loading book and then does one of two things.

a) fbreader crashes
b) it hangs on library and you need to eventually perform an action (such as going into full screen or rotating the book) to get the book back.

Looking at the app a few more requests...

1) Open books in fs option. As it is now you can open the app to open a book in fs but if you then say use the lib or toc you are brought to the next (or same) book not in fs mode...

2) taking that a step further, how about options to open toc and library in fs mode? I see the fs icon has already been implemented in the toc so why not give the option to just enter in full screen? I wonder if it then could be implemented in the library as well? I guess my overall point is that on a screen this size it really matters in terms of real estate when you are in full screen or not, and the more full screen default areas in my opinion, the better...

3) Press of the same book you were in in library mode take you to that book immediately as opposed to having to reload the book. I think this would be possible as I know in keyboard shortcuts there is an option to simply go back to your last page (was it cancel or quit?)...

4) the motherload functionality (from my perspective)...2 more tiny buttons on the bottom of the screen (I could do without the indicator and just keep the pages to know my position to save real estate)...a tc (table of contents) and a lb (library) button similar to and beside the fs button. In this case if I had entered books (and app) in fs mode along with library and toc in full screen mode enabled, using the device would be really intuitive and fast. Just enter, you are in book mode in fs, 1 click to go to toc, 1 click to go to library (and within library 1 click on book you are already in to go back fast to that book) and 1 click when you need to go full screen. heck you could even put a pr (preference) button on the bottom as well and be done with crippled small screen (for most actions). then you could even have one option in preferences that loads all the full screen options mentioned above, effectively making all the defaults full screen but with the ability to use the small screen mode at any point with the fs button...and duh a rt (rotate) button as well.

basically use of the bottom to put all the most commonly used options one would need while using the device on fs.

5) Enter library option with tap of library button (or just the screen) when the device is loading. This way you have the ability to usually load your last book, but enter the library to short circuit the book load if you want...

Sorry for the mouthful I was kind of going on a stream of thought there...

Are you sure that's not the 0.12.10-11 version? This issue was fixed in 0.12.10-12.

Looks like this came in somewhere between -10 and -11 - I'll track down the change and get this fixed. I've not seen the crash myself - it just looks like it's failing to redraw the screen.

This should be possible, but it's not exactly a lot of work to tap the fullscreen button in the toolbar! I'll have a look, but I don't see a lot of point in this unless you can change between the screen without needing to leave fullscreen mode.

That should be straightforward enough, yes.

I don't think that's really workable - putting any more buttons in there will just make it impossible to press the correct one with any accuracy. I'll look into some other options to offer the same functionality though.

I'll see about this - I'm not sure there's an easy way to cancel the loading process though.
