I think we can do without a formal voting thread for this particular topic. Simply vote by leaving "I support tap scrolling by default" or "I do not support tap scrolling by default" messages in this thread.

Ok, then I meant "I support tap scrolling by default"

not got my N900 yet but this is one of my Key Apps as i read about 2hours a day of ebooks

Oh i am defintly for Tap scroling . I would much prefer left right tap though, as if were reading in landscape mode the top/bottom half just seem a bit thin and i could see me easily pressing wrong half

Yeah, left and right makes more sense because it would be like the pages in a real book.

I'd like to point out that you need to purge libzlibrary, not just fbreader to fix this issue. That fact is not initially clear (to a linux neophyte such as myself) to someone reading this thread.

After reading this thread, I tried to just purge fbreader and then reinstall. No luck.
So I again purged fbreader, then libzlibrary, then reinstalled fbreader 0.10.7-5 via the app mgr. (btw, I assume the H in HAM stands for Hildon?)
And now the volume keys can scroll. I do alot of reading on my phones, so a good ebook reader is a killer app as far as I'm concerned.

firstly, thanks guys for porting this and integrating the patches, i can finally read on the tube again!!!

secondly, i would vote for tap scrolling by default, if i could only get it to bloody work with my finger!!

not sure what i'm doing wrong, if i have set it to 200ms, and the scrolling on finger tap checkbox is unticked, i can tap with the stylus and fingernail to scroll just fine (top/bottom half), but the pad of my finger does nothing. however, if i tick it, i can no longer scroll by tapping at all; stylus, fingernail and pad all won't work. any ideas? it'd be nice not to have to use a fingernail tap to scroll when i just use the pad of my thumb

two other questions, i notice on page 1 of this thread, qwerty12's screenshot has an extra prefs tab labelled Maemo, this doesn't seem to be on mine. also, how do i purge libzlibrary? my volume scrolling works, but thought i should find out, just in case.

vote for tap scrolling by default

I will set it up so that it works.

Missing Maemo tab is a bug I introduced into _5 release. It will be fixed in _6.

Attached diff contains some minor fixes to FBReader; only "major" thing is that I fixed the fullscreen button from escaping FBreader's window (Conny, please see my e-mail).

Thanks, integrating tonight.

Also, I have got a question to Conny:
The FBReader guys are asking if they can use your code in a possible closed-source version of FBReader. They are now only accepting patches whose authors agree to these terms. Conny, are you ok with it?
