Topic of this branch. Basic Agreement.
  • This thread is primarily devoted to testing and finding bugs. , as well as discussing various aspects designed to improve the quality of the product.
  • The program is being actively developed, but still far from the release. Not everything planned is already implemented.
  • Welcome suggestions for expanding the functionality. Butfinal decisionatanywaysaccepts the author of the programAlan .
  • Question:"When?" - Is offtopic, a sign of bad taste and disrespect to the developer's work! A couple of words from the developer
  • pay attention torecommendations for the evaluation of posts.

Basic Agreement of my cooperation with the testers' (the developer).

  1. If you do not like anything else in this agreement, then you are in good conscience can leave messages about bugs you found with him, together with comments like that and when I have to do.
  2. The program is developed according to my ideas of how it should look and function. The extent to which I listen to your advice and wishes, depends on each individual situation and is not a constant value over time.
  3. In my opinion the main output, which receives a beta tester, it is an opportunity to influence my decisions in favor of the more convenient tester functionality and speedup of the final product. Hopes for any other result of your personal testing of the product - in vain. I will not be anyone "cherish" for what it is during the use of this product are not too lazy to send me a bug-report or throw me a problem I've found in the mail. I'll just say thank you and try to fix bugs. 100% read your wishes. Everything else - is not guaranteed or implied.
  4. Any phrases about the need to adopt such a solution, reasoned commercial use - not included. Commercial sale of this product does not apply to users. Nothing. If you have a question which, as it seems, does not fall under this condition and yet, in your opinion, it is of practical value - there are private messages. They are specifically for this and made.
  5. Note that any of your innovation, I probably meet very wary. The reason is simple - I do not want the conversion of the program into a monster who does everything and sometimes allows you to read books. I want to make a program, equipped with only the most essential and useful features for reading books. The usefulness and necessity, eventually appreciate me and only me. You can only express an opinion, I'll read is guaranteed.
  6. Item number duplicating previous cumulative:
    1. I do not owe anything to anyone. I not owed. And I will not have to.
    2. I do not consider myself someone that's got to. (Say "thank you" out loud, that is offline, if you are anything like it in any particular implementation or at all, I do not feel an obligation, it's just polite.)
  7. This program is done for my entertainment, not more. Therefore, participate in the discussion only if and while you are interested, no more and no longer. Nobody pulls you here by force, do not shoulder the burden.

Thank you for the possible / real participation in the testing.

Regarding progressive smooth scrolling. As stated above, personally, I have not changed. In dvustranichnom landscape scroll "back" works fine. Scroll "forward" when "is released, the finger" skroliruet almost a whole page. The single-page "portrait" everything is fine "in both directions". The presence / absence of letters, nothing changes.

I can not understand ... What's wrong, exactly? How many squandered - to move the text so with an accuracy of plus or minus line.
Let's take an example - a light background (it is easier to take), the very first broaching. What's wrong?

Rep: (40)
* Alan , Look carefully. One way (back) fine - up to 1-2uh lines. In another (forward) when you release your finger jumps almost a whole page. In the video I will first make a few "steps back" after a couple of "forward". Clearly visible on three asterisks "***". Their self "steps back" leveled at the edge of the screen, then the first "step forward" on a couple of lines of real shifts asterisk in the middle of the "second" page.



Rep: (228)
* Dmitry68 , I've looked and it seemed to me that you are confusing back and forth places.
When on the "wool" book clearly positioned on your gestures, and when "the wrong way" jumps as well as in my apparently the case in the one mode in the beginning of this chapter is likely to play a role as an asterisk to the beginning of the section

Yeah, your "forward", it is "back" and "back" - of course, "forward" ... As far as I understand it - disable the option "section on a new page," I think everything will be fine, as I have already written.



Rep: (40)
* Alan , Disabled - did not help. I lay there as a new video. In order not to "mess" forward / backward write - "to scroll your finger up" operating normally - "down" jump to the page.

Rep: (727)

Try to restart the reader, to discharge it from the list of running applications. Can you change did not work completely.



Rep: (40)

Rep: (727)
* Dmitry68, Then, as an option, it is wrong not triggered at all the books. Or a special format, or something like that. Most do not know what to think.



Rep: (103)

Good day! After searching for text inWindows version of the application text is found "Blue" , but afteris not resetmarker (the found text is highlighted "Blue") . When the search is pressed again Ctrl + F washed Backspace and pressed tick in the lower right corner, pressed cross in the lower left corner. But the text remains highlighted.

Rep: (103)
* Alan,
And there is simply the possibility ofto make "Daw" - On off . Type: Highlighting of the found text on a permanent basis - On / Off.
Or all of these lead to weighting daw software and a large number of sub-items in the settings?(And how would it briefly and clearly describe)

Thank you for the video. Not to be confused - if the starting position of the page is shifted upward - a paging forward. Everything else - flipping back.

In the new video four scroll forward (the first ever twitching in which the position has not changed - I do not consider) and three scroll back. Which one do you think is wrong?

Any "back". Take, for example, the first to scroll back. Pay attention to the paragraph that begins at the words"At first he did not understand" . To scroll back was a couple of lines, but the paragraph at the top "corner" left page appears instantly in the center is already on the right page. If everything quickly - can after each scroll is to pause for 3-5 seconds.

at all but I did not check on the two 100% available. I checked on his two device - old sgn3 (fifth current vedroidom without root), and Xiaomei 4+ (8.1 vedroidom with Ruth).



Rep: (2888)
Dmitry68 @ 04.08.19, 21:37*
Any "back". Take, for example, the first to scroll back. Note the paragraph beginning with the words "At first he did not even know." To scroll back was a couple of lines,


ok, first scroll back. You draw the line (left column)

"Underworld. He continued to struggle, now"
"Full of hopelessness"
"Anger gave way to horror. The muscles of the hands burned by"
"Permanent strokes with the sword."

After stopping the scrolling text begins with these lines. I do not see any errors, all right

And about the "couple of lines" ... you pulled withthe left column4 lines. Due to the fact that the screentwocolumn - your pair of lines is easily converted into one column 4. It +is alwaysmore than one page. It is not surprising that the beginning of the old left pages spent on the new right.

In fact, I understand that if this is the only "problem" with scrolls - I leave this subject so far, to the following issues surfaced.
