BTW, I'll be away for the weekend. But don't hesitate to post question & feedback, I'll reply as soon as I get back.

well, it's what I expect when I open a file as the history page is getting quite long to browse and search.

I've been testing latest mieru and new version works very fast, the only major problems I've had are when switching back to hildon version

e.g

1. when I set page to custom in QML (I don't know what it does) and then use hildon version, I get this

Code:

/opt/mieru $ python mieru.py -p maemo5 -u hildon
All modules combined 450.00 ms
options: profile path: /home/user/.mieru
<gui.clutter_gui.ClutterGTKGUI instance at 0x425cbaa8>
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mieru.py", line 423, in <module>
    mieru = Mieru()
  File "mieru.py", line 113, in __init__
    self._loadGUIModule(args.u)
  File "mieru.py", line 162, in _loadGUIModule
    self.platform.guiModuleLoaded()
  File "/opt/mieru/platforms/maemo5.py", line 26, in guiModuleLoaded
    self._addAppMenu()
  File "/opt/mieru/platforms/maemo5.py", line 86, in _addAppMenu
    fitPickerButton = self._getFittingPickerButton("Page fitting", arrangement=hildon.BUTTON_ARRANGEMENT_VERTICAL)
  File "/opt/mieru/platforms/maemo5.py", line 172, in _getFittingPickerButton
    selector = self._getFittingSelector()
  File "/opt/mieru/platforms/maemo5.py", line 153, in _getFittingSelector
    touchSelector.set_active(0,lastUsedValueId)
TypeError: an integer is required

but I fit to width/height or original size, hildon version works again.

2. Paging in hildon version just doesn't work anymore, when I press p I get this:

Code:

/opt/mieru $ python mieru.py -p maemo5 -u hildon
All modules combined 450.00 ms

Mieru quiting

this could mean that non CSSU users have the hildon version broken too, but I only have a CSSU n900 to test with

as for QML specific problem, just minor: I can't access hidden folders (so can't go to .documents) and buttons don't works (but I guess it's designed to be touch only)

other than that, really speedy, the design is very classy and reading comics on this app is very pleasant

hi
I've just updated mieru and have a few problems now.
I'm using CSSU Stable

In hildon mode:
-paging doesn't work
-while reading, it becomes unresponsive after a few pages. I have to kill the process.

In qml mode:
-doubletap doesn't work ( and I use it a lot

showing the toolbar, clicking it, clicking the fit size,choosing it and closing is damn too long )
-keys don't work: uio to change page fitting
-volume keys don't change pages
-It crashes. segmentation fault.

OK - Mieru now checks & restores history for known manga paths. This behavior can be disabled in Options -> History

This is a limitation of the QML FolderListModel used in the file selector. Looks like the list of filters for the underlying QDirModel is missing the QDir::Hidden filter to show hidden files.

Recompiling the Qt just for this (and breaking the API in the process) is out of question. One possible solution is to reimplement the FolderListModel implementation in Python, that returns hidden files (and exposes also all the other filters). There would be an added benefit in dropping the dependency for Qt.Labs, that provide the FolderListModel.

Regarding zoom/volume button paging, it seems that the old GTK based method can't be used and I've only found a C++ example so far.

Basically, you first need to "grab" somehow the keys and then you just listen for the F7 and F8 keycodes. Once the "grabbing" is figured out, the listening part is trivial.
