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.
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.
* translation text fix
* quickstart(fix): go back to home dir after document close
* quickstart(fix): purge old quick start files
* spec: fix quickstart tests
* 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"
MenuSorter: forgot to add plugin style change
MenuSorter: worked out the final quirks
* Menu always compressed into tables without missing indexes for ipairs compatibility
* Orphans attached
* Separators no longer count as items

Let's see, I'm not entirely happy with the phrase. Here are a couple of brainstorms.

ISSUE
What is %1 here?

Also fix touch zone dependency graph generation code.
ReaderHighlight has now been migrated to use touch zone
Inputcontainer's touch event handling logic changed to only stop
propagation when handler returns `true`. Previously, it stops
propagation when a handler is found. This is needed to support
both readerhighlight_tap and tap_forward touch zones.
Also for the current text-only wikipedia full page: replace
the ==s in section titles with some unicode symbols for a better
visual feeling of hierarchy. These same symbols are also used
in the .epub.
Both can be disabled by adding ["wikipedia_prettify"] = false
to settings.reader.lua
readerhighlight: close ButtonTable (like other buttons do) when looking
up wikipedia, otherwise if we save as epub, and swtich to new document,
this ButtonTable will never be closed and stays in UI.
Tap on external urls or invalid links would jump to
document's 1st page. We check first the validity of the
link, and deal with wikipedia links or just show the external
url.
ConfirmBox: allow dismissing/cancelling by taping outside,
to keep UX consistent.
Simple image viewer with Best Fit/Original size and Rotate
(for landscape images) buttons.
readerhighlight: check if hold is on an image to show it
fullscrren
Fix innacurate language query and rotation when back from nested lookups.
More informative lookup message (langage used, search or full page)
Allow for screen refresh with diagonal swipe (like in readerpaging).
For documents without language defined in metadata (.txt, .html),
crengine would fallback to hardcoded English_US_hyphen_(Alan).pdb.
This allows for setting a different one.
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"
Details in #2393
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.
* 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
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.
* 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`.
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.
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.
We can input relative page number now in the reader goto dialog.
Goto "+4" will page forward 4 pages and goto "-4" will page
backward 4 pages.
This implements #1437.
The 'KOSync' plugin will synchronize furthest reading progress
across different koreader devices after users registering their
devices.
The synchronizing service is open-sourced as the project
[koreader/koreader-sync-server](https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server).
Full refresh when highlighting text is quite annoying, I fixed it by
using 'ui' refresh type.
And this patch also fixed a bug that after cleaning temporary highlights
the screen is not refreshed.
This is a larger clean-up of the refresh situation.
The general shift is that refreshes are now mainly triggered by
the (top-level) widgets when they get shown or closed via UIManager.
All refreshes for the widgets when they are in use were handled by
themselves before. This adds the case of showing/closing.
It is the desired result of not having UIManager:show()/:close()
do (full screen) refreshes on its own.
it was set to a full refresh. However, we want to behave as if in
non-scrolling mode and issue a partial refresh. That might get
updated to a full refresh if the full-refresh counter has reached
the limit - which is configurable.
This is the remaining gruntwork of #1276. I believe that only leaves networkmgr.lua and filemanagersearch.lua, which will require a little more thought.
Since the new Screen:getSize modthod returns a regular table
instead of a Geom which is set to the dimen field of readerview,
there is no copy method in the dimen field. And we don't need to
copy dimen any more since the result won't be modified. Even the
screen page area somehow needs to be modified, the caller of this
function should make a copy of that variable by itself.
While looking into #1219 I accidentally ended up refactoring some stuff.
Tested in emulator and on H2O, but be wary because I might have overlooked something.
Don't do regional footer refreshes when we're in flipping mode.
There's probably a more elegant/correct way to handle this, but this
does the job ;).
Fix#1140
and remove the wifi toggler on the footer of each menu page,
so that network status is only checked (currently with the stdout of ip cmd)
when navigating to the "Network settings" submenu instead of checking
on each menu popup.
Don't hijack forced partial updates (i.e., from UI elements) on always
FULL REAGL devices. It doesn't implode if we don't, and it makes for a
snappier UI.
which currently just sets free the limitation of panning gestures
emitting rate. This should fix#1039 when unchecking the
"E-ink optimization" in the "Screen settings".
This is a major overhaul of the hardware abstraction layer.
A few notes:
General platform distinction happens in
frontend/device.lua
which will delegate everything else to
frontend/device/<platform_name>/device.lua
which should extend
frontend/device/generic/device.lua
Screen handling is implemented in
frontend/device/screen.lua
which includes the *functionality* to support device specifics.
Actually setting up the device specific functionality, however,
is done in the device specific setup code in the relevant
device.lua file.
The same goes for input handling.
And also fix a touchmenu bug that prevent some menu entries
(always at the bottom of the menu) from showing submenus. The reason is
that the onTapSelect method of TouchMenuItem doesn't return true, so that
the tap gesture will propagate to the parent widget and be captured by
touchmenu itself. But at this time the dimen of touchmenu is changed to
the submenu of the tapped menuitem. If the submenu is short enough the
tap will be outside of touchmenu which will cause a TapCloseAllMenus
event and the submenu will never be shown.
colors were a mixture of 4bpp integers (0=white, 15=black) and
fractional blackness levels (0=white, 1.0=black) before. This is
now unified to use the color specification of the Blitbuffer API.
The #1011 bug is caused by the `contains` check of link box with
visible area. When the link is at the very right (left?) of
the page, enlarged link box often exceeds the page bound rendering
the mentioned `contains` check failed. This patch uses an `intersectWith`
test to check if the link is in current page.
Since wikipedia server is language specific we should first detect
language of the text by querying Google Translate. Make sure you have
access to both Google Translate and Wikipedia service to use this
function.
If "Follow links" options is not checked links won't be followed.
The "Follow links" option is checked by default.
This option affect both PDF and EPUB documents.
As well as the width of the toc notches
Lower the default value of the container size a bit to avoid eating into
the last line on small borders setup (I checked on 167 & 212 DPI
devices, Feel free to revert to the previous value (19) if that causes
trouble).
