About version 2.2.1

[GoogleCodeExporter]

 Version 2.2.1 have nice update features. Thank you. But I note that application become some what more sluggish. Please fix slowing issue. It is very nice to see EBD evolving over time but it will be a loss if it become slower & slower.
 I tested new version on Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 GT-P6800 with OS Android 4.1.2 official ROM. 
 Best

option for facing page?

There is error in english translation: In "All settings", "Supported book 
formats", in MOBI you write "Show MOBI anv AZW3 books". You write "anv" not

Pls try rc4

[GoogleCodeExporter]

 I tested rc4. DOES NOT WORK. Same error: "Go to..." option completely freez!!
--------
 Translation to English still not corrected: still "anv" not "and"!!

---------------
 By the way: is it better to put new setting "First page on left" in the "View mode setting"? I mean when user activate "Facing page" option or "Smart facing pages" option, then the new setting "First page on left" will appear under the activated facing page option like that for "Split page right-to-left" when appear UNDER "Split pages" when "Split pages" activated.

 Hi. I have no chinese tablet. But I tested rc4 on Nokia X2 with modified Android 4.3
 "Go to..." option work fine. But is this mean that you will not fix this bug on Android 4.1.2 official ROM for Samsung galaxy tab 7.7 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This mean simply that EBD will be of no use for every one used this device (not only for me).
 Please fix this bug completely on all devices not only on chinese devices. It seem that you do partial fix!

No. I tested it on pure 4.1.2 version in Android emulator. I do not have device 
to install your Samsung ROM.

Please create log dump and copy here text from "Device info" page from About 
screen in the EBookDroid.

 Is this what you mean by log dump?

 Hi. I have idea. Since you add new option "1st page on left" for twin pages view, I recognised that this title "1st page on left" will create problem if you add "Right to left support" for twin view. 
 I do not know if you will add such "Right to left" support for twin view or not. However, I suggest on you - if you have plan to add "Right to Left" support for twin view - to change title of "1st page on left" to "Front cover as if inside". Indeed 1st page is the FRONT COVER page. It is natural to see book closed & thus front cover seen only because it is outermost element of book facing reader. New option "1st page on left" unnatural. If you admit my suggestion, you will not face a problem when you will add "Right to Left" support to twin view.

 I mean by "create to you problem", tearminology problem (name of 1st page on left will lead to conifusion with R. to L. reading direction) not programming problem.

 I tested rc5. "Go to..." issue still exists. 
 Thank you for moving "1st page on left" option from "Book setting" to view mode setting". Now it is more organized.
 But, error in English translation is still not corrected: "anv" !!

 Hi. I tested rc6. Regarding "Go to...", it is completely resolved!! Thank you. "anv" corrected to "and". Also your modifications for side bars are very nice. But please there are the following:

1) right side bar o.k. But left side bar have issue: you add list in "general 
setting". When I click at any of contents of this list, I never enter to the 
clicked content, let say "user interface"!! Instade I will enter to main OLD 
screen that user enter to it when click "general setting" in privous versions!! 
You create in this way additional step instade of shortining the way for the 
user!! Please fix.

2) accidentally I click on "OPDS catalogs". It open correctly without error 
message. But when I click to show list of "OPDS catalog" then click over 
"Project Gutenberg" then I will get error message say: 
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Username may not be null". In this message 
I have 2 options: refresh & cancel. When I click refresh same message 
reappearing. When I click in last case on cancel, a black screen appear & I 
have to click on "Back" option in system menu to make projeft folder appear. 
 In all cases the font of project folder appear BIG in such a way that lower 1/4 of name not showen. I use bigest size of font by the way, but this should not create such problem.

 about rc6:
1) it works under my 4.4.2
2.1) I will check problem with username
2.2) Can you  provide screenshots to see your font size

Original comment by Alexander.V.Kasatkin@gmail.com on 15 Dec 2014 at 5:25

[GoogleCodeExporter]

 I will provide you by screen shot. 
 But regarding (1), even it work on 4.4.2 it does not work on 4.1.2 in my device. So, it need fix as "Go to..." issue that you fixed perfactly.
-------------------------------
 By the way, what is the idea behind list for each part of left side bar, though clicking over title of each list lead user to enter to screen that show list contents?? I mean for example, list of "about": if I click any part say device info then I will enter to it. This is O.K but if I click over "about" itself then I will enter to screen of about & then can enter on device info from it!! I feel that you need to disable clicking over "about" that make user enter to it's screen & clicking over "about" should only make list of about appear. Same think for "general setting", "OPDS catalog", ...... etc.

  Hi. Regarding (1) in rc7 it is resolved BUT YOU NOW CREATE MORE BUGS:

1) when I enter to "User interface" from left side bar, then only "language" 
work!! "Start & exit", "System UI & title", "Side menus", "Screen", 
"Information" all are not working though they are working if I click on 
"general setting" then enter on "User interface"!!

2) same error for "Pefrormance setting": only "Page in memory" work while 
"Decoding" & "Rendering" not working. Again this not happen if you click over 
"general setting" then enter. Defect is in enterance using left bar.

3) same error in "rendering": only "Rotation mode" & "Document view mode" are 
work, while "Single page mode", "Split & crop", "Post-processing" & "Aspect 
ratio" all are not working.

4) same error also for "Formate specific BUT here ALL element do not working 
even DJVU.

5)when I click over "More apps" from left side bar, I will recieve message at 
top of screen about that BUT under it there will be "change log of device": is 
this bug or normal to see change log?

Thanks a lot for comments.
All points are really strange errors.

 By the way, I see that you add new option: "Smart highlight" in "Supported Tools".
1) It work only on highlight NOT ON UNDERLINE. Whay you should apply it on both.
2) Why you does not make it the single way by which EBD work in underline & 
highlight? Who like to use interuptted underline or highlight??
3) The new option make EBD better for Arabic documents, but the problem with 
1st Arabic character from right side of statement NOT included neither in 
underline nor in highlight. Please if you can fix.
4) New option "Smart highlight", if some one use it to highlight then change to 
disable it & make new highlight as it is disabled, then the old highlight that 
made by "Smart highlight" will change to non smart (interuppted) & never return 
"Smart" when reactivating "Smart highlight".

"Smart highlight" affects only drawing and did not affect creating highlights 
at all. It is applied both to underline and highlight, if it won't concatenate 
in your books, then it is not "smart enough". Do not use it. It is still an 
experimental feature.

Also RTL books are really not a priority for us.

 Hi. Sorry regard point (1) in #22. I observe that it affects both underline & highlight. It mearly need improvements.

 Regarding #22, every think is o.k & all bugs disappear.
 But, issue #16.2 still existing without any improvement.
----------------
 Just if you add new thickness for pen in underline & free hand drawing & this new thickness = 1/2 of smallest one of 3 already existing thicknesses, it will be nice.

 Please correct the link appear above wrongly! I mean #16.2

sorry, when I wrote (16.2), I mean font size and label size of OPDS list items.

 Regarding font size & lable size of OPDS list items it is now better. I will send you screen shots.
 But error message "java.lange. ......" still existing without improvement.

 By the way I would like to suggest on you to improve "standred colors". Standred colors miss 2 colors: orange & brawn. It would be nice to add them in the new version.

 Final release of this version is excellent. "New thinnest line" is very nice. This new option make EBD now = paper book (free-hand writting now excellent). 
 "Smart highlight" improve use of underline & highlight for Arabic document remarkably.
 Please note the following:
1) "thinnest line" not the default one & when I chose it then close application 
then reopen it & reopen document, then "thin line" appear to be selected & user 
have to reselect the "thinnest line" again. Please put "thinnest line" as the 
default choice & make thickness selection to be remembared by application in 
the book setteng.
2) regarding "smart highlight": if I chose it, then use underline & highlight 
it is o.k . Now if I use free-hand tool, then the underlines & highlights that 
I already made, they will appear as if "non-smart mode" while I'm still in 
smart mode. They appear interuptted. Jest when I finish from free-hand & close 
it, say by clicking on "Done", then the interuption will disappear & 
annotations appear in smart mode again. It is transient bug. Please fix it in 
next version.
------------------------
 Now EBD is usable for annotations. Just small step forward & it will be the best in Google store.
 Thank you very much
