Landscape mode?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Is adding a landscape mode possible? While reading, even with text set to 
miniscule sizes, the 
frequency of lateral eye movement seems too high.

Simply put: too few words per line. How do others include landscape 
functionality in their 
applications?

My favorite application. Thank you.

Support. Landscape mode is very useful. Hopefully this function can be 
implemented 
with orientation detection incorporated, but manual operation is also good 
enough.

Hello,
I have started working on that, here is a prototype binary.  Please backup the
previous file before trying.  It should go in /Applications/Books.app instead 
of the
original executable.  Make sure that you give the execute permission.

Here is what I did:
1) added a landscape options in the preferences
2) if at start up the landscape option is on the book view will be in landscape
Big caveat is point 2) you have to restart the app.  Also the coverpage look 
ugly for
now.  There may be other issues, please tell me, I am cleaning up some before 
sending
the code to the project team

Same problem here.  I download the full version from Installer, then I open up 
WinSCP
and transfer your files over.  Not sure if I should change any permissions and 
if so,
what to?  777? 755?  Something else?

It simply can not see the EBooks folder, no matter which directory it is put 
into.

Hello,
the file Books should have execute permission for all (chmod a+x) if I am 
correct 755
is fine.  In doubt you can always say 777.  The other files don't need 
permissions.

You should be putting the books in /var/mobile/Media/EBooks
You should also erase your preferences.

I have now migrated to 113 and although I have seen some strange issues on Books
which I'll be working on finding the books is not one of them

Ok I just had the issue of finding books and it was a case error. I had
/var/mobile/Media/Ebooks, not EBooks. Once I changed that the program could 
find it.

Cross-posting this to the other issue regarding not finding books.

My problem is everything I read said to change permissions of EBooks folder to 
755
permissions...you need to have the Media folder set to 755 as well.  For some 
reason,
mine was not.  My books are in /var/root/Media/EBooks and I set Media and 
everything
in it to 755.  It works!

That is not a good solution:
It will only work with the current release of ebooks the next one won't be 
looking in
/var/root/Media/EBooks, the next version (of which the file I have posted is a
preview) will look in ~/Media/EBooks which is /var/root/Media/EBooks on 112 and
bellow and /var/mobile/Media/EBooks in 113

Much better solution is to move the content of your /var/root/Media/EBooks to
/var/mobile/Media/EBooks (755 permission won't hurt there either but at least 
mobile
user should have read/write rights to this directory)  then you create a 
symlink from
/var/root/Media/EBooks which points to /var/mobile/Media/EBooks
