FAKKU Reader Help, Feedback and Bug Report Thread

Daiz · 2014-09-26T16:18:09+00:00

Welcome! This is the help, feedback and bug report thread for FAKKU Reader. FAKKU Reader has been built with both desktop and mobile platforms in mind, and aims to provide a native-like experience on both of these. This means that you will need a decent enough browser to run it - latest Chrome, Firefox and IE11/IE10 should do on the desktop, Chrome should serve you well on both Android (4+) and iOS (7+). Now, you'll probably want to know how it works. Read on to learn about the User Interface, Controls, and User Settings. Index Mode Depending on what you're reading, the Index Mode can either give you a Thumbnail View: Or a Chapter View: (However, if neither thumbnails nor chapters are available, index mode will be disabled and won't be accessible.) Keyboard Up / Down, W / S: Scroll up / Scroll down Left / Right, A / D: Scroll left / Scroll right / At page edges: Previous Page / Next Page (or vice versa if using Right to Left UI controls) Page Up / Page Down: Previous Page / Next Page Home / End: Previous Chapter / Next Chapter Q / E: Previous Chapter / Next Chapter (or vice versa if using Right to Left UI controls) Space: Next Page Enter: Show / Hide UI F: Enter / Exit Fullscreen Mode C: Enter / Exit Free Scroll Mode Touch Swipe Left / Right: Previous Page / Next Page (or vice versa if using Right to Left UI controls) Tap: Show / Hide UI Double Tap: Zoom In / Out Pinch In / Out: Zoom In / Out UI Control Direction Determines how directional page change commands work. As you might know, most content on FAKKU is read right to left, so with this you can also make for example the arrow keys work so that left goes forward and right goes back, etc. The available options are Left to Right, Right to Left or Use Content Direction - the last one simply means that the controls will be left to right for content that is read left to right, and right to left for content that is read right to left. You can also change this setting on the fly on the first page of everything by moving into either direction, and the reader will follow suit. Try it out! Page Display Mode Determines how pages are displayed. If you like to view two pages side by side, then Two Pages When Possible is the option you're looking for. By default the reader uses Singles With Spreads, which displays one page at a time unless the action spans across two pages, like so: Besides there, there is also the option for Single Pages Only, which does exactly what it says on the tin - as such, the above kind of two page spreads will be shown as two separate single pages. Fit to Width if Overwidth Enabled by default and does exactly what it says - it scales the image down to fit width if it would be too big otherwise. Very useful when using the Original Size or Fit Height Page Scaling options! The subsetting But Not When Viewing Two Pages will suppress this behavior when the reader is displaying two pages at a time, and is enabled by default as well. Set Current Zoom Level as Default If you've used zooming on a page, you can use this button to set your current zoom level as the default page scaling. This will change the page scaling method to Set Height with the appropriate Target Height set to your current zoom level. Mouse Dragging Speed One of the ways to scroll the pages in the reader is by click-dragging them with the mouse. This setting controls the speed of said dragging. Default 1.0, with a range of 0.50-2.00. Scroll Wheel Sensitivity Controls the scroll speed of both mouse scroll wheels as well as (two-finger) touchpad scrolling on laptops. Default 1.25, with a range of 0.50-2.50. Version Information At the bottom of the Settings menu you can see version information on the reader and the device you're currently using. When reporting issues it is highly recommended that you copy and paste this string into your report.

Whenever I am on my phone and I hit the fullscreen button the browser automatically adjusts to fill the screen. However on my iPad I have to drag up always to fill the screen, any way it can be the same on the iPad and other tablets to automatically fill the screen with just one tap?

This is not possible because iPads (and iOS in general) do not support the HTML5 Fullscreen API that the reader relies on for one-tap/click fullscreening. As such the reader has to rely on user dragging on iOS as a workaround. This can change if Apple ever decides to implement the HTML5 Fullscreen API into iOS, but until then this is the best we can do.

Makes sense enough to me now thank you for the response.

For the book volumes, if you open the chapter list, mouse over a different chapter than you were currently on then click on the chapter list button again to close it, it takes you to the chapter you moused over instead of leaving you on the page you were on.

Is it possible to have a custom height while having spread pages at their original size? Hate having to go back to the original size to read spread pages comfortably just to revert back to what I have the height set to normally.

I just thought I would let people know here, I did try to browse fakku on my the web browser on my kindle paperwhite. I am able to log in, but can't get the fakku reader to load on it, which is a shame. Javascript is enabled, but it's probably more or less a bug with the reader on the paperwhite, as its still called "Experimental Browser".

I'm having problems with the collections feature. My problem is I made 2 collections then both of them got multiplied now I have 6 collections of the same name. I try to change the names and save the changes at first but the name change doesn't work even when I click save changes so then I try to deleted the ones that got multiplied but they still show up in the collections page. And when I click on one of the collections it says page not found but all of them still show up on the collections page. Is this how this feature works?

Are we having problem with the reader? I tried reading some chapters on different devices but all of them are stuck loading.

When viewing spreads, I like how scrolling with the mouse wheel takes me to all four corners of the spread. Makes viewing them much more pleasant. It was a bit counter-intuitive because I had gotten used to jumping to the next page when scrolling too far; after I retrained myself to scroll away on spreads, it was a blast.

The old reader isn't technically compatible with most of FAKKU's current content, so bringing it back isn't really possible. As such, if you want something to change, you'll need to explain with details what is it that you're missing from the old reader and then we can see if it's possible to address it in the new reader.

I'm pretty sure he wants the old reader back because of the possibility to save the pages... ( Í¡° ÍœÊ– Í¡°)

I'm not sure if this is the right place, but as of the last week the Fakku reader no longer works in Chrome for OS X. A Page Preview will show up (light and grainy) followed by a white page. I can "navigate" and see preview for the next page, but then it loads a white page again. Things appear to work in Safari.

I've disabled Ghostery and don't have any other plugins active. Anyone else seeing this?

Not sure this is the right place, but in the book Kira Kira there's a spread in the first color chapter but the reader doesn't register it as such so the only way to get it to display properly is to use the "two pages when possible option."

The new one literally doesn't work.

We can't replicate this with Chrome on OSX/macOS on our end, so it's hard to say where exactly the issue might lie. Is your Chrome up to date? Have you tried reinstalling it? Can you open up the reader settings and copypaste the text in the footer ("FAKKU Reader running on...") here?

Anyway, for the time being I recommend sticking to Safari if it's working there while we try to figure this out.
