Feature requests #93

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The Sony PRS-T1, which runs Android, has been rooted and Ebookdroid seems to 
workon it. To improve the reading experience, here are a few suggestions:

1. Make the hardware page-turn buttons work with Ebookdroid
2. Add a 2-column split mode, where the software focuses successively, with 
each page turn, on a quadrant of the screen (upper left, lower left, upper 
right, lower right). Also, 3-column split mode with 6 zones instead of 4. (see 
Sony's default software)
3. Add cropping options, manual and automatic (see Sony's default software).

If Ebookdroid could offer the same functionality as Sony's default software, it 
would be a great improvement.

1. Buttons (Sound volume and DPAD) are working. Key binding configuration will 
be added into 1.3 release.
2. Not quite understand. Pls add screenshots.
3. Automatic cropping (as book settings) will be added into 1.3 release. You 
can see first variant in 
http://ebookdroid.googlecode.com/files/ebookdroid-1.3.0-dev-r597.apk technical 
preview version.

Another feature request, very useful:
4. Zoom panning option from the top to the bottom of a page using page turns. 
For example, if you are viewing a page that is larger than your screen, instead 
of manually zooming on the first part of the page and then on the second part, 
this could be done automatically with a page flip. Sony has implemented this 
feature, and calls it "Fit Landscrape Width" (though it should also exist in 
portrait view). See the last 4 screenshots.

Regarding automatic cropping in 1.3, it would be nice to have manual cropping 
also, because it is useful with image-based pdfs that include artifacts in the 
margins which the software mistakes for text.

About "Fit Landscrape Width":
In single page mode you can set the page align "by width" in book settings and 
flip device in landscape.
In continious mode pages are fitted by width automatically.

About "2-column split mode"
At the moment we don't work with PDF as with data container.
We only receive rendered page image from 3d party engine (MuPDF).
So this feature (and PDF text reflow) can be implemented right now.

If I understand correctly, the two following enhancements will be added in 1.3:
1- Page turn button will work with the PRS-T1
2- Auto-cropping

You are quite right about the continuous page mode being equivalent to the zoom 
panning option I suggested in comment 2. I have tried it, and it works very 
well.

As for manual cropping, it would be great if Ebookdroid could use Briss as a 
3rd party engine. Briss works very well without user intervention.

It'll be rather good to enable hard buttons on "nook simple touch" to switch 
between pages (next page/ previous page)

Now there are custom key bindings, but they do not include the PRS-T1 page turn 
buttons. Please add them. Thanks.

Third party software is now available for remapping the page turn keys on a per 
app basis:

If you use EBookDroid 1.5.x - you may create a settings backup, go to the 
/sdcard/.org.ebookdroid/backup folder,
oped the backup file in editor and replace default scrolling codes (19/20) with 
your own codes in chunks/app-settings/key-bindings section.
After that you should restore settings from this file.
