Sorry, but I am not even sure if .chm files are supported. You may be better off reading that complete MSDN knowledge base on your Windows desktop...

(can confirm 10.7-7 tap scrolling doesn't work)
Hello,
maybe you can give me an advice - how to configure the +/- scrolling ?
In my case only the volume is controlled with the +/- Buttons!

best regards
Dirk

You have to remove FBReader and install it from scratch.

Hi,

tapscrolling does work, kind off, I have to press really hard?? What about scrolling with the cursor keys.

CHM files are supported and are supported very well. Even the index is supported. I have several large files which open without problems, and even with pictures! Just tables are not displayed.
The 500 mb chm file is a medical database which I need for my work, it would be wonderful if that could be opened...

Good.

Up/Down will scroll, Left/Right will browse through reading history inside the same document.

You should not expect this much from something this small. :)

i can confirm tapscrolling works, but only if scroll on finger tap only is *unchecked* and with a fingernail or stylus, not with finger. however, this behaviour was already existent in the 10.7-5 build.

also, i noticed that the maemo tab in prefs is still missing.

nb: i upgraded the package instead of uninstall/reinstall, should i have done that instead?

Indeed - technically it works, sorry :o
However, from a usability standpoint, please:
  • If possible: less pressure should be needed - is it not implemented as a normal click event?
  • Enlarge the area that acts as scroll button. It's MUCh to small right now. IMHO, as long as no other touch options are present in fullscreen view, you could give top half to backscroll and bottom half to next page.
And while I'm at it with blatant-FMS-Christmas-holiday-ignoring wishlist: preload next page for doublebuffering and faster page switch :D

You apparently have not upgraded the package. Uninstall. Reinstall.

Possible at the cost of several hours needed to figure out how it works. So, not unless I have time.

It is already done this way.

See item #1, multiply time by a factor of 5, estimate how likely it is to happen.
