* frontlight on kobo: a few fixes
Rewritten to not update NickelConf on every change, and never
if KOBO_SYNC_BRIGHTNESS_WITH_NICKEL = false.
Reintroduce global settings frontlight_intensity and
is_frontlight_on to keep level and state across koreader
sessions.
Fix a few of the remaining issues on kobo light.
Ensure settings are saved when rebooting/powering off from
File browser.
* Ensure untoggle works when starting with light off
* fixes#2898 (prevents accidentally triggering reboot or poweroff)
Add ConfirmBox before reboot/power off
* increases clarity by preventing second page
* add "sleep" menu entry
* Add exit menu hold callback
Base bumped.
Previsouly, parts of document in <p style="font-family: serif">
would be rendered with the first font set, and would not
follow change of font (unline other texts without styles).
That was observable with Embedded Styles set to On, but is even
more noticiable with the new Embedded Fonts setting set to off.
Just under the existing "Embedded Styles". Support for this
was already there in crengine, and interfacing is similar to
what is done with Embedded Styles.
* Put back fl_min=0 as it is for all other devices (the idea
fl_min should be 1 and toggling managed some other way is
not implemented in current code).
* Fix a few frontlightwidget issues
For people who set autoremove_deleted_items_from_history to true,
file is removed from history when Deleted or 'Purge .sdr'. This also
update lastfile to the new top in history if needed.
So an image file can have a cover in coverbrowser's display.
It also allows for an alternative viewer (ImageViewer widget)
when holding on file / View full size cover.
* CoverBrowser plugin: alt views for File Browser and History
* Added Prune cache and Compact cache menu actions
* Support for book descriptions, and settings stored in db
lfs.dir will crash rather than return nil if directory doesn't exist
Proper fix for 9f5e446701 which is nothing but a workaround. However, I do think creating more of those data dirs automatically is more user-friendly because otherwise Android users will have to look it up or guess.
This patch should resolve issue #2257 (Footer hides text)
Sometimes, depending on an epub style, some text is hidden by the progress bar (the mini one at the bottom).
1. Android.getScreenBrightness() is used in frontend/device/android/powerd.lua to retrieve the frontlight intensity.
2. kosync.koplugin won't save settings for whisper sync.
3. batterstat.koplugin won't work correctly if several on* events are fired.
- Factored out duplicate code from filemanager.lua and filemanagerhistory.lua
to new filemanagerbookinfo.lua (and other common code to filemanagerutil.lua).
- Uses sidecar files' new doc_props and doc_pages settings, or fallback to
old 'stats' settings, or to opening document.
- Shows filename, filetype and directory.
- Shows description (Hold to see whole truncated text), keywords, and
cover image (tap to extract image from document and display it if available).
- Book information now available from reader menu, to display info about
the currently opened book.
- Convert possibly HTML description to plain text via added
util.htmlToPlainTextIfHtml() (for simple HTML conversion).
They may already be available (with other statistics stuff) under
the 'stats' key, but not if Statistics plugin is disabled. As this
plugin may be migrated to SQLite, readerui and readerfooter will now
set two new properties: doc_props (containing all and only the metadata
returned by document:getDocumentProps()) and doc_pages (updated
by readerfooter on any display or font change).
PDF document: returns additional PDF properties: Keywords
and Subject (as Description).
* Use PluginShare to exchange data between plugins
* Remove legacy code in reader.lua and kobo/device.lua, and move KOBO_LIGHT_ON_START to kobo/powerd.lua
* A better sync config logic
* Consider kobo without hardware frontlight toggle
* update frontlight widget once toggle is tapped.
* Force refresh when kindle is out of screensaver or usb is unpluged.
* Improve AutoFrontlight
* More plugins sub menu
* Last brightness should always be updated
* Finish autofrontlight improvement and enable it by default.
* More tets
* onFlushSettings
* MenuSorter can now correctly sort sub menus
* [fix] stop propagation of tap events
when triggering reader menu
And also get rid of unnecessary screen refreshes on Kindle Voyage.
The "progress" window for dict lookup is also eliminated as most of the time dict lookup is an instant process, and the "progress" window is preserved for wikipedia lookup as it may take longer time to show the result window.
* [up] add an option to disable dictionary fuzzy search
* [fix] tidy up require
* [fix] fix read settings
This affects #2335, at least for documents covered by `validDjvuFile()` (see 76cef07c07/frontend/document/djvudocument.lua (L15-L23)). However, that's only with regard to `touch invalid.djvu` and should not affect whatever happened in the OP.
* Add a basic Japanese keyboard layout
Allow for entring Japanese text into text boxes. Only supports kana
and latin letters due to limitations of current VirtualKeyboard
implementation (complex text input with conversion is not possible).
* Allow keyboard layouts to declare custom modifiers
Refactor modifier key setup code and existing keyboard layouts so
that each layout can declare custom modifier key labels. This
allows for greater extensibility and for future keyboard layouts.
as the tap gesture on the upper part (mostly) of the screen is
a conventional design to show menus in almost all ereaders as well as
some mobile phone apps. While users not farmilar with the Android world
have no experience with swipe down to show menus that's why we need a
quick start guide for this feature. And experienced Koreader users
probably will turn pages by mistake each time they want to popup the menus.
The solution here is adding back the tap gestures as they were and keep
the new swipe to show menu feature as a supplementary function when
link's tap area blocks menu's tap area.
* newsDownloader - atom support initial version
* NewsDownloader: update example feed config (use Reuters atom source)
* NewsDownloader: InfoMessage when unsupported urls
* NewsDownloader: update menu_item id
* NewsDownloader: change text label
It makes no sense to have both, so setting a default removes
the fallback, and setting a fallback removes the default.
Also save hyph_alg to document setting only if it has been
manually chosen, so that later changes to default or fallback
can be used.
CRE cache, hyphdict and fonts can be initialized only once
when first credocument is opened. Previously, they were
recreated for each document, and as previous instances were probably
not free'd, this caused memory leaks.
* translation text fix
* quickstart(fix): go back to home dir after document close
* quickstart(fix): purge old quick start files
* spec: fix quickstart tests
When such blank page has only a few black pixels (dust), it would result in
a really small cropped area, than when scaled to fit screen, would cause a
crash with :
./ffi/mupdf.lua:63: could not allocate pixmap:
malloc of array (451342 x 612558 bytes) failed (integer overflow) (1)
Fix similar to what is done in KoptInterface:getAutoBBox(): when cropped area too small,
fall back to whole page (or here: to user's manually set area).
* Simple News (RSS/Atom) downloader plugin
* Limit news from sources
* new News Downloader menu entry - goto news dir
* Initial configuration logic
* Download each feed source to separate folder
* 2 feed sources in example config
* Swipe for menu and quickstart guide
Because swiping for the menu is a big change from what we're used to, this commit includes a new quickstart guide.
Fixes#2608.
* add some dev docs
* add FileConverter spec
* add QuickStart spec
* add Version module
* add Version spec
* footer(optimize): remove dead code
* footer(fix): disable auto refresh time option when current time is not checked
* fix: support disable progress bar again
* ReaderHighlight: underscore to underline. Although underscore means to
emphasize by underlining, the emphasis lies on the, ahem, emphasis. Besides
which, it's mostly AmE and less well understood worldwide (although in this
particular context it should probably cause no trouble).
* Statistics plugin: menu item text to "reading statistics" to make it clear
which statistics we're talking about. Fixes#2744.
Makes it easier to comply with UX style.
* Change "OK" to "Search dictionary" in Dictionary lookup to comply with UX style
* Change "OK" to "Search all text" in Fulltext search to comply with UX style
Tacked on but highly related:
* change "OK" to "Search Wikipedia" in Wikipedia lookup to comply with UX style
* change "OK" to "Set default" in ConfigDialog to comply with UX style
Chore:
* fixed up order of requires
I think it sounds more natural as chapter than as table of content, which is an implementation detail (i.e., the chapter markers are shown based on what's in the TOC).
Also removed redundant "this" from "Remaining pages in this chapter"
* lang: changed `...` in CloudStorage to real ellipses
* chore: reordered requires in CloudStorage per coding style
* UX: switched "Close" and "Stay alive" in KeepAlive per UX style
* lang: improved message in CloudStorage
* chore: reordered requires in OTAManager per coding style
* lang: removed "your" from "Your KOReader is up to date" in OTAManager
* plugin loader(feat): support loading plugins from user defined directories
Extra plugin lookup paths can be set in global reader setting via key
`extra_plugin_paths`. Value of the key can either be a string or an array
of strings.
* build(fix): also purge non-exist plugins on build
* plugin: migrate debug plugin to menu sorter
This commit seeks to improve the paltry help menu item. It breaks the "try to have at least three items in a submenu" rule in anticipation of an upcoming quickstart guide and show quickstart guide setting. This guide will explain that (soon) you will have to swipe south at the top of the screen to activate the menu.
Also see the somewhat related #1371, which would also go in the submenu.
"frontend/ui/menusorter.lua:110:13: value assigned to variable 'sub_menu_content' is unused"
Kind of the point, I'm assigning it nil after all. This way it probably shouldn't complain.
Noticeable latency between toggling the power switch and the device
showing the screensaver has been tracked down to the two network
manager calls. This change allows the screen to be updated first.
Note that unloading the open source brcmfmac driver used on okreader
is slower than unloading the proprietary driver shipped by Kobo,
making this delay even more noticeable.
self.suspend() is scheduled after the network manager calls to avoid
race conditions.
Without this change, the device resumed randomly. With this change, the device had not resumed randomly anymore. (Technically speaking, it still randomly resumed, but got suspended immediately.)
