Re: request-update fbreader to arm stable (v 0.12.10-3)
 

Did you look at the link above and was it any help? Again the fbreader developer said that the oreilly books had their toc in a seperate xml space. That is mumbo jumbo talk to me but might be a clue to a smart person like yourself...

Thanks also, if toc gets enabled I'd love to use the maemo specific version...really at this point the only thing pushing me towards android is the fact that I can't effectively read my technical books (oreilly or kindle collection) due to the toc issue.

btw once I emailed the oreilly book to the developer, he emailed me back within hours with the toc enabled version, so I would think that if it can be figured out, it is not very hard. also oreilly books toc work in pocketbook ereaders and they use fbreader...

I couldn't see anything relevant there - that's all about audio books. I'll have a look at the underlying XML for the O'Reilly books though and see what I can find.

EDIT: Looks like the O'Reilly books are using the same DTD as the audio books for their TOC. I'll have a look at where the TOC is worked out and see whether I can map in the alternative names.

thanks if you have any questions I am pretty sure the fbreader developer could help, he was a very nice guy let me pm you the email address...

Re: request-update fbreader to arm stable (v 0.12.10-3)
 

and another request (since you are working on it anyway)...

Is there a way to just have fbreader report the title of the book? for these annoying oreilly, they list by author first and then have a little line for the title. To make it worse if there are several authors (and for most of these books there are) the books get listed multiple times in the library....

do I ask too much?

Re: request-update fbreader to arm stable (v 0.12.10-3)
 

I've got an initial version done. This includes all the customisations from the previous Maemo release, and adds support for namespaces in the TOC file (works fine now with the O'Reilly ebooks).

You can download:

• libzlibrary
• fbreader
• Source code changes

There's a bug in this FBReader release which stops the formatting from working properly (a lot of books end up with everything centred, regardless of the settings) - this is in the upstream code, so is nothing to do with the changes I've made. Someone did post a quick patch, but it causes all sorts of other breakages and slowdowns. I'll continue looking into this and hopefully post a new version shortly, then look into uploading to extras-devel - I want to check with the current package maintainer first though.

It's not something I'd want to do - you'd be better asking for that to be changed in the upstream release (as it's not specific to the Maemo implementation). You can also try setting to group by tags - editing or removing the tags should allow you to organise the books pretty much any way you want.

Re: request-update fbreader to arm stable (v 0.12.10-3)
 

thanks much. I will uninstall the package and use your version asap.
quick question, is this (toc) a hard fix or is it something that could pretty easily be incorporated into the dorian epub reader as well? would be great to have a choice of the two...

Re: request-update fbreader to arm stable (v 0.12.10-3)
 

Hi quick question, before I uninstall libzlibrary and fbreader.

the developer told me that the stable version was 0.12.10-3 and I see you have 0.12.10-1, is that just the versioning name being used for the maemo specific fbreader? thanks.

Re: request-update fbreader to arm stable (v 0.12.10-3)
 

The functionality was already in the FBReader code, it just wasn't being used when processing the TOC file. All I did was copy the necessary code over from another file. I've no idea whether Dorian handles namespaces in XML at all.

The final digit there just represents the release number. He's obviously released 3 different versions from the same source code - presumably small changes to the build system, or small patches. I've no idea what the changes were though.

This actually isn't possible with the current release as the buttons aren't there in Maemo. I've enabled them in a new release (though the graphics don't fit in with the rest of them):

• libzlibrary
• fbreader
• Source code changes

Re: request-update fbreader to arm stable (v 0.12.10-3)
 

thanks for all the work you are doing, I am currently not able to totally install the 0.10 version of libzlibrary, arggg. I had the devel version, could not remove it so just instead reverted back to the default n900 version. from there I am able to install your updated fbreader but it does I can't install the updated library, so the icon is there but clicking it just hangs a few seconds and then disappears. :(

What error do you get if you install them using "dpkg -i" as root?
