Changes to the kobopatch zip:
v66 (2020-08-19): Fixed "Don't uppercase header/footer text" patches not applying to percent read text (geek1011). v63 (2020-07-08): New "Increase page navigation history" patch (geek1011). v60 (2020-05-01): New bulgarian keyboard patch (Svens), updated kobopatch to v0.15.0 (geek1011). v59 (2020-03-14): Updated "My 24 line spacing values" patch, fixed running on Cygwin, removed unnecessary "Change pop-up footnote font-family" (it's now built-in) and "Change dicthtml strings to micthtml" (there's now a built-in method) patches. v58 (2020-03-03): Initial release for 4.20.14601. See the release notes for more info. Missing patches: - None! Notes about this firmware version: - There is now a Series tab in My Books. To use this with sideloaded books, you must either wait for the updated Calibre plugin or use seriesmeta from kepubify v3.1.0+ to generate the SeriesID column. - Images in dictionaries have been fixed! - You can now override built-in dictionaries and prevent them from being overwritten during sync by setting them as read-only. New patches in this version: - Customise Header back button (jackie_w) Last edited by pdurrant; 08-20-2020 at 08:36 AM. Reason: v66 |

It might be the late night clouding the brain on this end, but does the KePub stylesheet additions libnickel patch work for anyone? No matter what option I enable, ReplaceString fails to find the specified bytes.

there is any way to install the patch without having to manually edit the files of the new version? That is to say use the src files from previous versions to use the same patches that we already have installed? thanks in advance!

If you switch to using overrides and copying your direct changes to another file, you would be able to just copy the new files over the old.

Spoiler:
try
geek1011, Extra dictionaries also do not show the size (except the full name) and offer to synchronize them (download) ... And works great ![]() Last edited by Semwize; 03-03-2020 at 08:45 AM. |

Yes, that's due to a half-fix (on Kobo's part) of the spaces in names issue. @jackie_w and I are aware of it and are looking into it. Everything else works perfectly, though, and Kobo did make quite a few other full bugfixes.

Thank you very much for the patch, it's a shame that the 'My 24 line spacing values' doesn't work. I had gotten very used to him. Hopefully you can make it work.

Have you had any luck with a patch to get the dictionary to open to full screen without the intermediary step of tapping a button?

I don't think the Change dicthtml strings to micthtml libnickel patch actually works, although it patches in successfully.
I use English as my main language and the only languages that appear in the dictionary drop down are English and French and I can do look ups in both languages. However, the Settings menu says I have no dictionaries installed (0MB). Yet looking in the database, both the Installed and IsSynced columns all say 'true'. The files are all still there in micthtml format. Uninstall the patch, rename everything back to dicthtml and everything works as expected. |

I have installed the new patch, and I have activated the same ones that I had installed with the previous version, among them those that affect the margins in kpub, but I do not know why, in kepub there is much more space in both the lower margin and in the superior, leaving practically a blank line in both, in the previous firmware it did not happen to me, why can it be?
