This is a major overhaul of the hardware abstraction layer.
A few notes:
General platform distinction happens in
frontend/device.lua
which will delegate everything else to
frontend/device/<platform_name>/device.lua
which should extend
frontend/device/generic/device.lua
Screen handling is implemented in
frontend/device/screen.lua
which includes the *functionality* to support device specifics.
Actually setting up the device specific functionality, however,
is done in the device specific setup code in the relevant
device.lua file.
The same goes for input handling.
ConfirmBox and InfoMessage are default to be modal.
Now returning to filamanager after highlighting a PDF page
the confirmbox asking users to save the document will not be hidden by
the filamanager window.
And it's tested on Kindle that #791 is already been solved probably by
out refacorting of MuPDF backend.
Epub only.
If someone knows how to get an jpg/png from a pdf on linux (e.g. convert by imangemagick? But i am not a linux specialist and have no idea how to get that one into koreader) I can add something for linux too.
cbz/cbr should be possible too, but I have not looked into it yet.
Do I see it right that the Kindle screensavers are handled by Kindle itself?
But on Kindle you also profit, you can see picture thumbnails now in the search results (long tap on found book)
Tested in Kobo Aura HD.
Suspend can still be interrrupted if user touches the screen after
slided the power button and before the suspend function is called (2s delay).
Reason for this is still unkown.
