]]> Comment on Cybook 2.0 Firmware Calibre Fix by Michael Turner http://john.nachtimwald.com/2010/01/09/cybook-2-0-firmware-calibre-fix/comment-page-1/#comment-30 Michael Turner Sun, 10 Jan 2010 11:09:12 +0000 http://john.nachtimwald.com/?p=338#comment-30 John, I read your comments on the 2.0 Cybook upgrade. I'm not sure if the Cybook-Opus issue is contributing to the following problem with my Gen 3: I can access all my own books if I install firmware version 1.5. However, whenever I upgrade to 2.0 the Cybook only displays those books originally supplied with the eReader, although my computer shows them as being in the library. Re-installing 1.5 again displays my books. I would like to upgrade to 2.0 because of the remove margins facility for pdfs but am not sure what the problem is. Have you any advice please? Thanks, Michael. John, I read your comments on the 2.0 Cybook upgrade.

It really must have taken some digging on your part figure out how to get the numbers to line up correctly. I thank you and the artists at our studio who will be using this thank you.

If you register it then you have to look for it as a client message in the X11EventFilter because the closeEvent will never be called since the WM_DELETE_WINDOW has essentially been overridden.

One bit that I didn't quite understand is why you register for WM_DELETE_WINDOW. Can't you just subclass QX11EmbedContainer and reimplement closeEvent? (you can accept/reject the QCloseEvent) Hey John, fantastic stuff!

I tried the Better Line Numbers, but I am still running PyQt 4.4 and there is some code there that will not run (eg TextEdit.cursorPositionChanged). This one is doing exactly what I need. I appreciate your generous licensing. Thanks. I tried the Better Line Numbers, but I am still running PyQt 4.4 and there is some code there that will not run (eg TextEdit.cursorPositionChanged).
