Update: Character Tracker – Family Tree, Timeline, Module Customization, Visual Update, Convenience and Bug Fixes

Hello! It is the first update of this plugin. there are many new features!

  • Family Tree
    • You can now make a family tree, and visually see how characters are related to one another.
    • You can link 2 families together and also map relationships.
      • press and hold on one character to see their exact relations with others.
    • Relationship/Friendship Tree
      • You can also separately map a friend group and relationships between friends.
  • Timeline
    • You can now log events in the book as well. Any important or plot turning events? Now you're able to select the text, and add that point into the timeline! Additionally, you're able to add your own notes to the timeline for any commentary or thoughts.
    • There are 2 modes, timeline view and list view.
  • Module Customization
    • I know people probably will probably not use all of the possible options to describe characters and its a pretty busy menu, so now you can both change the location of the modules but also hide unused ones.
  • Convenience Fixes
    • Thank you to u/HatOtherwise1103 for mentioning this
      • When names were selected, it would only take the first word of the selection because of how I made it before when I didn't add access through the dictionary (and thus has to highlight an unrelated word to be able to highlight through selections) and when i finally added access I never removed this. So now it should select every word when turning selections into characters.
    • Thank you to u/cocoreysa and u/Sad-Bobcat-6313 for this suggestion
      • Now you can add selections of the text to specific sections like abilities and appearance, etc. and you can also take notes on the highlights as well
      • To highlight, select text, select "character" and select "add selection as topic highlight.." pick the topic and character to allot this too.
      • to take notes of highlights, go to a character, press topics, press the topic the highlight is in and then choose which quote you wanted to take notes on!
  • Small Visual Overhaul
    • I have reduced the section headers from taking up 3 rows to now 1 to make it easier to see more information, and to make it look a bit nicer.
  • Families, Compendium & Places
    • For the first version i was very much focused on the characters list but i have now spruced up the families, Compendium and places to be better than lackluster.
  • Photos/Shot button
    • The ability to take photos of your timelines and family trees without UI interference
  • Bug Fix
    • Thank you to u/falfalfal1997 for reporting this
      • I mostly left the Import and Export functions untouched from the original fork and discovered (and was told) that the import function caused koreader to crash, so that is fixed now !

Thanks to everyone's feedback and suggestions, I hope you enjoy this!

Metadata titles not showing up/It uses the file name instead

I turned like around 200 mov files to flac to put on it, and I added the date of the songs, the title and artist, it took me a grueling 4 hours (mainly because I didn’t know the names of all the songs so I had to spend forever finding them) and after all that tagging it’s not using the titles I put 💔

how do I make it use the title in the metadata and not the file name?

Custom Icons Greyed out?

I’m trying to add custom icons but they’re noticeably lighter than the default ones for some reason, like grey instead of black? How do I make them black

Is there a way to change the names of the highlight colors?

Im on kindle, so all of the colors are just 8 different shades of gray, instead of it saying red, yellow, green… is there a plugin/setting that I can change the names to something else for organization?

Is there a highlights organizer by color/icon on Koreader?

One of the things I’ve absolutely hated on kindles is the lack of different highlight categories. it’s irritating when I highlight things and I have to scroll through a mess of every other random highlight I made to get to some specific ones like funny lines a character said or sad ones. So that being said is there a highlight organizer function on koreader (or a plugin), that lets you highlight things into different categories? I already found a slew of interesting features that make me want to jailbreak my kindle but this would just complete my life 🥹.

+ I have a kindle paperwhite so no color for me 💔

No update folder/update.bin file on my kindle, should I be scared for an update?

So I was filling up my kindle with dummy files in anticipation for a new jailbreak for my kindle in case the devil says fuck you and automatically turns off my airplane mode or something. I hear a lot about deleting an update file/folder when you want to prevent updates completely but I looked everywhere, and I turned on show hidden folders but I cannot for the life of me find it?

My kindle has been on airplane mode since 5.19.2 came out and it shows that I have the latest firmware even though I don’t. Out of anxiety I completely filled up the storage so none is left and turned on the WiFi to forget my WiFi password so it doesn’t connect, it didn’t update then of course but am I missing something? Do I just not have updates files or 😭?

My mother keeps ridiculing me because I don’t know my native language even though she’s the reason I don’t know it and it’s so irritating

I’m originally Tanzanian but I live in America so naturally I speak English. Swahili was my first language because I lived in Tanzania as a baby and moved to America when I was \~4-5 years old. Obviously at first I barely spoke English but I quickly learned and was bilingual for some time, but my mother stopped talking in Swahili to me so of course I forgot the language. So now my mother has her permanent residency, so we started to go to Tanzania for a month every summer and that’s when she suddenly starts bitching about me not knowing Swahili.

At first it didn’t bother me but she just acts so annoyingly condescending, speaks to me in Swahili like I’m a baby even though I can literally understand her but I can’t reply in Swahili. She loves to do it in front of all my family members, who all speak English mind you, so it’s not even a problem. She always forces me to say stuff in Swahili and just laughs in my face so it’s not that motivating to learn when if I try to say something everyone just laughs at me. Like one night I was up looking for something, and I was about to walk into the living room when 2 of my aunts, my uncle and my mom were talking in there and they were just making fun of me, my American accent when I tried to speak it/was forced to, and were mocking me. What pissed me off the most is that my mother was partaking WHEN ITS HER FAULT I DONT KNOW.

And on top of that she literally teaches me the wrong thing or doesn’t correct me when I speak it. Like when someone’s saying hi to you they say mumbo, and when you’re younger you say safi but when you’re older/your age mates are saying it to you, you say poah, BUT OF COURSE SHE NEVER TOLD ME, so I learned (an awkward amount of safis later) and when I said poah one time she was like “oh who taught you that.”, Literally everyone but you.

And it irritates me that she could of put me in ESL (English as a second language) when I was younger and I could’ve stayed bilingual, and I wouldn’t have had to even do it for long because I knew how to speak English, but she told me no “it’s a bad class and that I don’t want to be in it” when I asked about it.

This whole thing just frustrates me

Tldr; mom makes fun of me because I don’t know how to speak Swahili, laughs at me when I do speak it, talks trash about me not knowing to her siblings/my aunts and uncles, and refused to put me in ESL when I was younger.
