New Version Of Opie-reader

[kurochka]

Smooth scrolling function would be exremely useful but the default speed is too fast for me     Does anybody know if the speed can be modified?  If so, how?

You have to map the Scroll faster and Scroll slower functions to a couple of buttons.

Go into Settings/Buttons and choose Scroll slower from the combo box at the top right. Then hit the button you wish to use to make the scroll speed slower. Then do the same for Scroll faster.

These scroll functions are a bit different from the others as they are context sensitive. This means you can map the up and down arrows to page up/down *and* to scroll faster/slower. The only affect the scroll speed while you are actually scrolling. The rest of the time they will be page up/down as normal.

Wow!  Thanks.  I've never remapped the existing keys and was under impression that all you could do only remap the existing functions.  Now, I see there are a bunch of other functions that useful.  Thanks again.

anybody care to teach me how to use the dictionary in opei reader? I put "zbedic" in the Locale tab: Dictionary: Application, checked Tow/One Touch and checked dictionary in Misc tab: Select Action. I'm able to launch zbedic by tapping the screen. But how do I select the text? And what should I put in the Locale tab: Dictiona: Message?

The message depends on the dictionary app but I'm pretty sure that for zbedic it is "find" (but don't include the quotes).

Most users prefer "one touch" which sends the nearest word to whereever you tap on the screen. This isn't appropriate for all uses so there is two touch as well. Two touch works by remembering where you first tapped the screen and then sending all the text from that point up to where you next touch the screen to the app. So:

one touch - just tap on the word
two touch - tap once on the start of the word, then tap again on the end of the word

You must tap the beginning of the word before the end of the word in two touch mode.

"find" works great with zbedic. And thanks for the clear explanation for one/two touch.

Now only wish if there's a button can be mapped to "toggle application" (aka. alt+tab in windows), so I can effortlessly switch between opie reader and zbedic. But first of all, does such a thing exist in qtopia? If so, how to map the key, keyhelper?

xjqian,
I have a C3100 clamshell. On my keyboard to switch between running apps, use [shift]+[home]. (Home key is one of the "action" keys).
To get a list of running apps, which you can select from, hit: [shift]+[menu]

What should happen is when you tap on the word zbedic comes to the front so you don't have to swap to it. Once it is there it should have a red X in the top right which you can tap on to put it to the back - leaving opie-reader at the front again.

I haven't used zbedic for a while because it doesn't respond properly to the find message in opie - so the red X may not be there any more.

[Actually it responds wrongly in the Sharp ROM but in such a way that it is more useful - because the Sharp ROM has a bug in it. It really is supposed to open process the message and close - this is exactly what happens in opie. There is an extra function call which should be made in zbedic which tells it not to close after processing the message but when I reported it the developer obviously only used the sharp rom because he didn't believe me.]

The red X is in there and does exactly what you described, sending zdedic to the background and bringing opie-reader to the front. Thanks, what a great combo.

I'm using the latest opie-reader 0.7j and zbedic 0.9.6 on Sharp stock rom 6000L.
