Lost My Very Long Post With Questions About PB 301 Controls vs PB 360 Controls
WOW, when I pushed the button to view the long post I was working on, the board prompted for logon. I did that. I never got back to my draft post.
I think it was supposed to be at https://www.mobileread.com/forums/new...stthread&f=206 but I got a blank page there. If this happens again is there a way to recover a post in progress? Maybe the software was telling me not to be so long winded. My draft post was asking about which controls I could use on the 301 when the procedure said to use the 360's "wing button" or the "D-pad". Does the D-pad on the 360 behave differently from the D-pad-like control on the 301? Next time I'll prepare my post on my Win 7's "notepad" and paste it unto the board. |

Wing Button & Select Open on PB301?
Quote:
What do I use on 301 when 360 control [to execute a function described on this board] is WINGS BUTTON? I don't think I have one of those. Also I was trying to force a book(s) to open in FBreader. The instructions say: MENU>BOOKS>SELECT BOOK>PRESS & HOLD MIDDLE BUTTON> MINI MENU POPS UP>SELECT OPEN WITH> Right CLICK>SELECT FBREADER. When I press and hold the middle button, I get the Fast Access Menu. On my 301 (v 15.) There is no OPEN WITH choice. Am I doing something wrong? |

Its a config file, there the second choice is set. Default is FBReader. Unpack the downloaded file first before installing. Instruction is written in the mentioned thread. |

Usually when you don't get OPEN WITH its because the file type only has one association in the extensions.cfg file. |

Okaayyy...
If an ePub file *doesn't* offer up Adobeviewer you must have a mangled extensions.cfg file. (I assume it's not just the one file but all epubs?) Check here for how to tweak it back to normal: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=67149 |
