DELETED

Perfect!! Putting the Collection Manager inside on a single collection is possible to hide it. Now the access is through the Launcher Menu and more elegant!!

What??!! Titano, is your extension dangerous?? Why have you deleted your post? I don't understand.

Just edit your post as well ... otherwise you are in danger!

It exposes the easter egg and I didn't even realize that was the easter egg. Can you please edit your post also. You don't have to removed the whole thing just the one part about the image.

Awesome!! Thanks a lot for the new feature!

Thanks too, Titano. Although I did not hide the CM, but rather put it in a Kindle Tools collection along with JBPatch. Still it is useful for me to access it via Launcher rather than scrolling to it in the main menu. Im no coder but I will look at how you made that extension and try to create one for adding JBPatch to Launcher as well. Hopefully wont break something

Edit :

I think that should do the start up for the JBPatch

{
	"items": [
		{"name": "JBPatch", "priority": 10, "action": "/usr/bin/lipc-set-prop", "params": "com.lab126.appmgrd start app://com.lab126.booklet.kindlet/mnt/us/documents/jbpatch.azw2"}
	]
}

Is this okay for the actual Launcher menu option :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<extension>
	<information>
		<name>JBPatch</name>
		<version>1.0</version>
		<author>ixtab</author>
		<id>collections</id>
	</information>
	<menus>
		<menu type="json" dynamic="true">menu.json</menu>
	</menus>
</extension>

I'm not sure of the "<id>collections</id>" but suppose can leave it as it is. Thanks and sorry to bother you all

Umm... you mean this?

@ixtab , yeah that was it. And even tough I have read the whole thread few times, I missed that attachment. Im a monkey I know..

Another update!

This version introduces exactly one new feature, and exactly one tiny fix.

The new feature is that "filters" (hide invisible items from home, show collections only) can now be limited to the lower pane, instead of applying to both panes. This new option is accessible from the menu, and is disabled by default. You may find it useful when you want to quickly (manually) organize books into collections. The reason why filters can be restricted to the lower pane (instead of to the upper one) is that this makes it possible to combine the filter function with the search function: You could use the search function from the menu bar to quickly find books by author (in the upper pane), while keeping the list of collections in the lower pane.

The tiny fix mentioned above concerns the naming of the search bar: It is now "Title / Author" (instead of "Title"), which more precisely describes its semantics.

Note that because of the new option, the translations need to be minimally revised.

Spoiler:

The english and german ones are up-to-date. You may need to be a bit creative with the naming for this one, because there isn't a terrible lot of space for the entry. For instance, the german translation uses "2nd" instead of "lower" panel to make the text fit into the box...

Edit: only the "filter.loweronly" key has been newly added, nothing else has changed. For "non-official" translators: you can probably simply update your existing posts (and leave a message in the thread, if you want to). For "official" translations: since this applies to french and spanish only ATM, it's probably easiest to just send me a PM with that one new translation string, and I'll push it to the repository and update the post.

Finally, @yiming: I think I have reproduced the bug with the search box disappearing. It happens when the device has entered sleep mode, and is woken up again. It can be triggered by manually pushing the power button twice with Collections Manager open. For the time being, I'll leave this as a "known bug", but I'm looking into it, and will try to find a solution. In the mean time, just don't let the device hang around idle for too long while having Collections Manager open

@ixtab, great, you caught the bug

btw, i've updated the Chinese translations.

@ixtab:

French translation for the stuff added in 1.3.3:

filter.loweronly=Filtrer uniquement le panneau du bas

[coolpable]

And here's the spanish version of the new feature...

filter.loweronly=Filtrar solo en panel inferior

Is this short enough? If not please tell, there may be other alternatives.
