Width and Height cannot be inserted as keyboard input
As the title says, unfortunately the height and width cannot be set to custom values by means of keyboard input, but only increased +-0.1 at a time using the up and down arrows. Would there be a chance to fix this, or find a workaround to increase or decrease pixel width and height by more units at a time? Thank you!
I am running rebook on Arch Linux, latest edition of all packages
It's been a while, but for anyone running into the same issue...
As a workaround I went into the .py file and changed the line that gives the defaults to what I wanted instead of using the annoying arrows. I'm on MacOS, but search for: width_arg_name
until you get here:
default_var_map = {
device_arg_name: ['Kindle 1-5'],
screen_unit_prefix: ['Pixels'],
width_arg_name: ['6.2'],
height_arg_name: ['8.26'],
I just adjusted the #s here to the inches I wanted.
Another workaround is to comment the line :
state='readonly',
For exemple (about line 520) :
widthTextLabel = Label(requiredInputFrame, text='Width')
widthTextLabel.grid(
column=0,
row=required_frame_row_num,
sticky=N+W,
pady=0,
padx=5,
)
widthSpinBox = Spinbox(
requiredInputFrame,
from_=0,
to=10000,
increment=0.1,
# state='readonly', # <== comment this line for the width
textvariable=strvarScreenWidth,
command=on_command_width_height_cb,
)
widthSpinBox.grid(
column=1,
row=required_frame_row_num,
sticky=N+W,
pady=0,
padx=5,
)
required_frame_row_num += 1
heightTextLabel = Label(requiredInputFrame, text='Height')
heightTextLabel.grid(
column=0,
row=required_frame_row_num,
sticky=N+W,
pady=0,
padx=5,
)
heightSpinBox = Spinbox(
requiredInputFrame,
from_=0,
to=10000,
increment=0.1,
# state='readonly', # <== comment this line for the height
textvariable=strvarScreenHeight,
command=on_command_width_height_cb,
)
B U T I think that pwang7 have set the state to readonly to be sure that the value is a numeric value (between 0 and 10,000) without need to set test to check the content of field. So if you use this workaround you need to be very careful with the values you use !
