KoStore Build 2.1.0
This is a major update! The following changes have been made:
- Removed the Tag feature (I don’t know what I was thinking when adding it).
- Added compatibility for all devices by introducing wireless connection support.
- If a plugin is already installed, the button now shows Uninstall to remove it instead of Installed.
- The plugin/patch detection logic has been rewritten from scratch and now closely mirrors the detection logic from the AppStore plugin, producing the same results.
- Plus minor bug fixes and performance enhancements.
How to use the wireless feature
-
Open KOReader and go to:
Settings → Network → SSH Server
Enable Use without password, then start the SSH server.You will see several lines of information. Look for a line similar to:
IP: 192.168.178.xxx
(This is an example — your IP may be different.) -
Open KoStore and click WiFi Connect in the top-left corner.
Enter the IP address you just noted in the Device IP field.
-
Set the Remote Path to your device’s root path:
Kobo: /mnt/onboard
Kindle: /mnt/us
(If you are unsure, you can look it up.) -
Click Connect and wait a few seconds.
(This may take longer depending on your network speed.)
Done! You can now use KoStore wirelessly.
I would love if you would give some feedback using either the reaction feature under this release or the issues tab.
