I have two small feature requests.

Could you implement an option for continuous scrolling such as in a PDF reader so there will be no need to tap on the screen to change the page?

Already planed.

This together with swirl zoom and online repositories will probably be the main development focus after the competition.

Could you offer an option in that case, to open the PDF file with the external document reader or open the next valid file?

Bug noted, thanks ! BTW, I would like to eventually also add PDF support, but I have not yet been able to find a library that would make it possible to get separate pages from a PDF file and display them in QML. Even some command line tool that saves pages to PNGs would be enough.

I'm unable to open any manga.
Output in terminal:

Code:

Open manga
Error calling slot "openManga" 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/opt/mieru/gui/qml_gui.py", line 387, in openManga
    self.mieru.openManga(path, checkHistory=history)
  File "mieru.py", line 249, in openManga
    mangaState = self.getMangaStateFromHistory(path)
  File "mieru.py", line 333, in getMangaStateFromHistory
    entry = history.get(path, None)
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get'

I'm using it on N900 with CSSU Testing, It behaves the same with QML and hildon gui's

Mieru version V2.4.15 git:e062afa

I was using it a lot earlier ( before QML gui times ) and it worked fine.

Also, at a time of writing this post, when mieru was in info view(where the version number is) and it sometimes segfaulted while I was writing in MicroB.

Great app BTW.

Thanks ! Should be fixed in 2.4.17.

You mean when writing to an input field with the hardware/software keyboard ? I'll try to reproduce that.

I tested it now and It segfaults after minimising it several times when Microb is also running( with X Terminal it worked fine ). I did it quickly( with Ctrl+Backspace ), minimise --> return to app --> minimise --> ... so maybe that's the key.

EDIT: It segfaulted without microb, only with fast minimise --> maximise cycles. Although it took more time to segfault that way.

I'll see what can be done - but it looks more like a bug in the Maemo 5 Qt libraries than something directly Mieru related. I'll try to check out some other QML/Qt Components using applications if I can also get them to segfault like this.

Not yet, but it is on the roadmap.

Hmm, thats kinda weird - the only change in this update was splitting the Chinese localization to Simplified, Hong Kong & Taiwan variants. I haven't modified the dependencies in any way. So I would say this was probably caused by some (hopefully transient) repository/CSSU issue.

But still thanks for reporting it - you never know what might help to identify some hard to spot but serious issues.

Feature request: using kinetic scrolling to change pages (with horizontal swipes), not just scroll the current page up and down.

I would also appreciate an option to turn the volume control shortcut for turning pages off. I prefer that the volume control controls volume, not whatever random thing the currently open app uses it for.
