Stardict:
- remove duplicate results
- better cleaning of selection
- append results from a 2nd query of a 2nd set of dictionaries
in data/dict_ext/
Wikipedia:
- use the search API for better results
- allow viewing the full page content of a result in a bigger window
- allow queries for multiple languages
- available languages can be set in settings.reader.lua :
["wikipedia_languages"] = {"en", "fr", "it"}
- "Wikipedia lookup" added to Tools menu
For both:
- allow selection of multiple words for a new lookup (so one can
actually browse wikipedia)
- allow continuous reading with Tap
- display "current result / total number of results"

Touch zone decouples screen size from gesture event registration.
The win here is each individual widget does not need to update
gesture range on screen rotate/resize anymore.
Another advantage is we now have a centralized ordered array to handle
all registered touch event listeners, makes it much easier to resolve
gesture range conflicts between multiple widgets.
This patch also includes the following changes:
* migrate readerpaging to use readerui's touch zone
* migrate readerfooter to use readerui's touch zone
* move inverse read direction setting to touch menu's setting tab
* moved kobolight widget from readerview into readerui
* various dead code cleanups and comments
Allow swipe west to jump to current page's first link (easier than clicking on small links)
Also fixed existing function names to comply with style guide.
This gets rid of sometimes huge spacing between a word and its
description taken from dictionary, and thus need for scrolling just to
read fisrs few lines of description.
I'm not sure what the original intention was, but in practice, the user
experience regarding the way this setting is saved is horrible: it seems
to change randomly and once the orientation is changed from portrait to
landscape, the only way to fix it is to edit `settings.reader.lua`.
- Don't do any substitution unless `home_dir_name` exists.
- Don't rely on `gsub` because it might interpret some characters in
`home_dir` as magical (and might also replace a match not starting at
the beginning of `path`).
* smarter language detection for wikipedia
new order:
* check language for document
* check global language setting
* check language for lookup phrase
Fix: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/1844
and have more confidence with the unit testing framework.
Now `make testfront` won't retry on failure and testing files are
ordered in each run so that it's possible to reproduce testing failure.
And this patch also fix flush settings not working before suspend issue:
at some point the `FlushSettings` event is sent to `UIManager` instead
of `ReaderUI`, but `UIManager` only delegated events to active widgets
and `ReaderUI` is actually not an active widgets thus will miss the event.
This patch also add a verbose debug mode with "-v" as a switch to turn
on this mode. With verbose mode on, event handling will be logged.
Our previous assumption is user will only choose between full or min
bar. The does not hold anymore as many more info has been added to the
mini bar and sometimes user might want to have both of them on. This
patch makes the reader behavior consistent when both bars are set to be
on for a document.
this should implement feature request of zoom mode for multi-columns
page in #501
This PR depends on koreader/koreader-base#435
How to use?
1. Tap the top left corner of a PDF/Djvu page to get into the flipping
mode
2. Double-tap on text block will zoom in to that column
3. Double-tap on any area will zoom out to an overview of the page
4. repeat step 2 to focus to another page block
How does it work?
1. We first find the mask of text blocks in the page. (Pic 1)
2. Then we intersect page boxes with user tap to form a page block. (Pic 2)
3. Finally we zoom the page to the page block and center current view to
that block. (Pic 3)
A new feature 'read from right to left' is added, which is more fit for
Traditional Chinese and Japanese books. Once the feature is enabled:
1. The gesture region of TapForward and area will be flipped
horizonally;
2. The action for swiping to west and to east will be exchanged.
This removes filemanager from UI widget stack so it does not listen
to events sent to the reader. Before this patch, screenshot event will
be sent to filemanager.
Since the doShowReader will run in nextTick, it will get picked up by
checkTask, which is in the beginning of next UI loop and blocks
UIManager from redrawing the screen for the info popup.
* Drops support for mocking the frontlight setting internally which may
cause incorrect in-memory values.
* Adds new supported value for `KOBO_LIGHT_ON_START` (-2), which sets
'Kobo eReader.conf' as the source to update `settings.reader.lua`'s
brightness setting on startup, thus using the value from it
indirectly.
* Adds the `KOBO_SYNC_BRIGHTNESS_WITH_NICKEL` configuration variable
which updates 'Kobo eReader.conf' every time the brightness setting is
changed within koreader.
* Fixes missing call to save brightness when modifying via two-finger
swipe.
Closes#1523.
Currently only tested on Ubuntu-touch emulator with framework
ubuntu-sdk-14.10 for armhf.
The ubuntu-touch port is binary compatible with the Kobo port
major changes in this PR are:
1. rename the emulator device to sdl device since both the emulator
and the ubuntu-touch target use libsdl to handle input/output.
2. ubuntu-touch app has no write access to the installation dir so
all write-outs should be in a seperate dir definded in `datastorage`.
and get rid of the ugly baseurl workaround for "Internet Archive",
actually the url building of all these catalogs is perfectly
handled with `url.absolute(base, relative)`.
Without this fix, self.dimen is shared among all inputcontainers
intances, which breaks some of the UI rendering. All widget should
set/initialize their own self.dimen in self:init() method.
On kindle, kobo and pocketbook the data directory is the current
running directory but on Android the app is installed in system
defined location and users may have no access to that location.
The same circumstances should be true for the upcoming Koreader for
Ubuntu touch, so the data directory (in which tessdata, dictionaries,
global settings, persistant defaults and probably history data are
stored) could be stored in another place.
More closely matches native behavior on REAGL devices.
Closing those widgets should still trigger a partial refresh though,
because we usually get back to the reader, and text, so we want REAGL
;).
The VFAT file system of `/mnt/us` is case insensitive so that
require("json") from Spore which intends to load luajson module in
rock directory actually will load `frontend/JSON.lua`, the two JSON
parser libraries have slightly different APIs.
This patch remove the pure Lua JSON library in favor of `luajson` which
uses LPeg pattern marching backend for better performance.
