when using pinch zoom, it should be centred on the point between the two zooming fingers

• check if other characters (Japanese, Czech, Russian, etc.) are also a concern
• check if this applies only on container files or also on the files inside

• add support for mouse
  • wheel scrolling/paging
  • on click panning

use-case:

• show recently added chapters

Once the file selector is first opened, It doesn't see any new files and folders. Once Mieru is restarted and file selector opened again, it sees all changes.

• something wrong with the Qt folderlist model ?

• types
  • author
  • dates
  • characters
  • series
• handle sources that don't provide metadata

• when using the pinch zoom, the zoom centre is not between the two fingers

This issue tracks the presentation of online search results

• implement online search
  • search multiple providers at once
• display results
  • series name
  • status (finished/completed, ongoing, etc.)
  • number of available chapters
  • resolution/quality (JPG, PNG ?)

• show a Qr code with the installation URL from inside the application
  • Nokia Store
  • Apps for MeeGo + note that the AFM client needs to be installed
• maybe short normally readable URLs

If notifications are launched from the What's new dialog or from the Donation dialog, they don't show up.

EXPERIMENTAL

• detect all text & its position on page
  • bounding box ?
• translate the text using an (online ?) translation engine
• overlay over the old text (with an opaque background)
• storage
  • "burn" into the image ?
  • layers (tiff, djvu)?
  • external JSON file
  • per chapter or per image ?
  • l18n file compatible with Qt Linguist and Transifex ? :D

• select a text area/bubble
  • rectangle
  • manual selection (polyline)
  • "magic wand" ?
• write a translation for the text area
• storage
  • "burn" into the image ?
  • layers (tiff, djvu)?
  • external JSON file
  • per chapter or per image ?
  • l18n file compatible with Qt Linguist and Transifex ? :D

• add a new chapter source plug-in with a simple CLI interaface
  • specify a command that returns a list of chapter paths/urls with some additional information
  • specify a command that gets two arguments - remote path/URL and a local path - which downloads chapter from the remote URL to the given local path
  • monitoring the size of the locally created file could be used for a progress bar
• use-case :
  • a remote server with chapter files, communication encapsulated with SSH
  • the list command returns a list of available chapters (might be based on du ?)
  • the get command downloads the chapater files using scp or rsync
• other use cases:
  • using HTTP in place of SSH/SCP
  • running rsync on a given folder
  • update daemon and event screen update notifications
  • rsync on a whole chapter folder structure ?

• more donation options
  • flattr
  • bitcoin - open dialog with the (selected) bit coin address & copy button & Qr Code
• provide feedback once pressed
  • "Opening donation page. Thanks in advance !"

• on screen buttons (off by default ?)
  • should only be triggered by clicking, not dragging, long press or double-click
• possible locations
  • corners, side middle
  • probably should be configurable
• other possible paging options (off by default)
• swipe gestures - might clash with kinetic scrolling
• screen clicking/double-clicking
• proximity sensor, shutter button
• screen edge swipe - like in terminal or Microb
• accelerometer based (probably won't work very well)
• bluetooth headset buttons

It might be useful if Mieru could suspend screen blanking.

• should be probably off by default (so that there is less chance users will accidentally drain their battery if they let Mieru running)
• a timeout (separate from the system one) might be also nice

• when in manga mode, open pages aligned with they right edge aligned with the right screen edge
  • NOTE: manga works in the same manner as Japanese books, it is read top down, right to left

• add clickable search links (should launch a browser instance with a search URL)
  • Wikipedia, Mangaupdates, Google
• thanks Helix for the idea !

• per Debian packaging guidelines (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Description), it should be:

Description: short description

not

Description:
 short description

as currently used in the Mieru Debian package

• add "don't reopen last chapter" toggle to options

Mieru basically already has most of the infrastructure needed to do this. There are basically two distinct types of repackaging:

Archive conversion
This means converting from one archive type to another. There can be multiple reasons:

• some archive types have a better compression ratio (eq. 7zip)
• to convert a series to use a single archive type for aesthetic reasons
  How to implement this ?
• unpack archive - pack with new format
• incremental - extract one file at a time and add it to the new archive -> needs less temporary space
• optionally restore modification date ?

Chapter bundling
This repackaging method would take a range of chapters and pack them to a single big file for better handling. Naming this big chapter archive might be a bit tricky though.

The most important question is - from where should this option be activated ? The best place is probably the quick menu or the main menu.

Save to:

• file
• share
• set as desktop wallpaper (where applicable)
  Filename:
• image file name (if available)
• chapter name + zero padded page number (foo_035)

• add a new mode where pages follow each other vertically and can be easily scrolled through
  • basically like in a classical PDF reader
• page fitting modes need to take this reading mode to account
• when reaching the end of a chapter, display a big "load next" button under the last page
  • same thing for the first page

• images that are large (for example: 2807x2000) look weird lag while scrolling
• there seems to be a threshold, if this threshold is reached, QML Image performance seems to degrade badly
• possible solutions
  • find the threshold value and resize big images to fit under it ?
  • Mangareader seems to resize all images larger than 1600x1600:
    "property int maxImageDimension: 1600 // 1600 x 1600 x 2 B = 4.9 MB"
  • clipping ?
  • image tiling ?
  • Qt Graphics view based viewport ?

• remove GUI logic:
  • main class - DONE
  • manga class - DONE
  • page class - DONE
• GUI class - DONE
  • clutter GUI - DONE
  • plain GTK GUI
  • QML GUI - DONE

• tap and hold
• after a while (500ms ?, some visual feedback might be nice) vibrate and go to the zooming mode
• in the zooming mode, moving up zooms in and moving down zooms out
• lifting the finger returns everything back to normal

the container should be able to return its size in bytes

• file containers return the size in of the file
• folder containers return the size of all usable images or folder content size or both ?

• port Mieru to also work on Hartmattan (N9)
• what needs to be done:
  • get a N9 / N950 for development and testing - devkit proposal submitted
  • separate GUI logic (#7) - about done
  • write Qt GUI
  • packaging
  • release thread

• enable scrolling with arrow keys

• if Mieru detects a package upgrade, it should display the current change-log, if available
  • needed on platforms that don't show the package changelog after upgrade
• buttons
  • OK
  • don't show again
• a toggle in Options to completely disable

• it should be possible to select a background color between black and white
• i don't really see any use for more options - maybe shades of gray ?

• if the last read file was deleted, Mieru gets stuck and won't open any new files
  • restoring the file fixes this
• check if this applies also on folder based containers
• what should Mieru do if it can't find the las open file ?
  • the most sensible & easiest thing is to just to show the "no pages loaded" message and stand by
• what about history ?
  • add a "remove deleted items from history" context menu option
  • show a "file/folder not found" message when accessing an unavailable item

• group files/folders that have a common substring
• eq. "my series c 01", "my series c 02", "my series c 03" should be grouped under "my series (3)"
• like this, a folder with different series with many chapters should be much more easier to navigate

proposed by Ivgalez on TMO

• off by default, can be enabled from options
• conflict with system-wide swipe gesture on Harmattan
  • disable system-wide swipe when modRana is in fullscreen (menu bar is hidden)
  • is it possible to disable only horizontal system wide swipe ?
• how to handle swipe gestures in QML ?
• swipe from center to border between tabs on info page
  • as in the Ovi-generated RSS readers

• show the name in Japanese if Japanese locale is set

• add an online container
  • provides unified online provider API
  • individual online providers subclass this container

Problem:
If you have an archive with any unloadable / corrupted pages you can't browse through them and no user feedback is given.

Example:
Pages 1-4 are good page 5 is corrupt pages 6-10 are good.
When on Page 4 clicking next keeps you on Page 4 without feedback and the only way to get to page 6 is to go menu > paging > page 6.

Either clicking 'next' or selecting page 5 manually both 'appear' to do nothing at all - I suspect they 'silently fail'.

Proposed Solution:
Give a banner alert 'Couldn't load Page N'
Advance to Page N+1 on any subsequent clicks of the Next 'button'.

After working great for a few days, had a reboot this morning opening a cbz file. Post reboot mieru failed to open.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "mieru.py", line 347, in <module> mieru = Mieru() File "mieru.py", line 76, in __init__ self.platform = maemo5.Maemo5(self) File "/opt/mieru/maemo5.py", line 24, in __init__ self.rotationObject = self._startAutorotation() File "/opt/mieru/maemo5.py", line 412, in _startAutorotation rotationMode = self.mieru.get('rotationMode', self._getDefaultRotationMode()) # get last used mode File "mieru.py", line 296, in get return self.d.get(key, default) AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'get'

Would try clearing the history and running again if I knew where to look to do this (apparently not in ~/.mieru tree)

At first thought it may be related to read-only file system after a crash, but same problem exists after resolving this.

/opt/mieru/version.txt
V1.00-5 git:9afe62b

LMK if I can provide any more information

cheers

• display
  • cover
  • series name
  • status
  • last update timestamp for ongoing series
  • author (clickable ?)
  • provider
  • provider website link for series (if possible)
  • chapters
• actions
  • add to library

• cache the previous and next page in memory
• load pages to the cache in background
• possible issues:
  • larger memory usage ?
  • UI responsiveness while loading pages in the background ?

• steps based on percentage ?

there are some errors if the info page is opened and no manga is loaded

• automatically update chapters from online sources if new ones are available
  • configurable in options

• fit to original size
• fit to screen
• fit to width
• fit to height
• where to put this option ?
  • the paging pop-up menu
  • the main options menu

open a random manga from local or online storage

• options:
  • local/online only
  • open on first/random page
  • open random series on first chapter (or last read page)

• mark some container with manga/comic book as read
• have some operations to do with mangas/comic books marked like this
  • list read mangas
  • move to some "output" folder
  • delete to make space for new chapters

• well, once there is a library :)
• there should be an option to disable this
