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.
* Use getCapacityHW() to ensure latest battery capacity can be retrieved
* BackgroundRunner
* Start background_runner_spec.lua
* AutofrontLight plugin now uses BackgroundRunner plugin
- 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.
* crengine: return description and keywords metadata
Only available for EPUB documents for now. @poire-z
* crengine: css related improvements, fix crash, better handling of gif @frankyifei
* 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
