What are the requirements for an icon to be used in experimental: menu_main_15505_icon? (size, format)
It's for a Libra 2. |

The icon should be 42x42 for the Libra 2, if you want it to be pixel perfect. The icon will be scaled if you use another resolution, IIRC. It should be PNG with transparency so the image borders aren't visible.

@geek1011, would it be possible to make a change to NickelMenu to check the the existence of certain files so if they exist, the Kobo will reboot? This is to make a temporary fix for the possibly open files that can cause a corrupted database when the Kobo is connected to the computer. Thanks.

However, as I mentioned earlier, it should be possible to make a separate NickelHook-based mod to either work around or prevent the database issue from happening (we can hook going in and going out from USB). |

In my playing with the issue of the database not being properly closed when connecting to the computer, attempting to detect the presence of a .sqlite-wal file and triggering a database close took slightly longer than triggering a reboot on my Kobo Sage, plugging in the USB cable and waiting for the USB connect popup.
Given that this issue is likely to resolved in the next firmware release, I'm not certain that spending more time and effort on solving it is worthwhile. |

Hi, I just set this up and it works as expected, however when I'm in book cover mode, all my screensaver images show up as books under "my books". Is that expected or did I do something funky? |

I'm thinking there may be a way to hide a folder either using . prefix or an exclude command, but I have no idea what that does to the screensaver. |

The solution is to add to the config... Code:
[FeatureSettings] ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+) |

The idea is to make sure the database has no connections and is properly closed during the USB connect process. Removing the last connection to the database files triggers the cleanup procedure but that is not something that would be done during normal operations when the database would be in use. If the database is in use, you could still see those files before attempting a USB connect so your suggested test would be basically meaningless. The only way to be certain the database was properly closed would be if you did not see the .sqlite-wal and .sqlite-shm files after the connect.
