The original kobo-dotfile-hack is deprecated. But, if you don't like it for some reason, if you have trouble with it, or if you want it to persist through sign-outs, kobo-dotfile-hack-ng can be used instead. TLDR: In general, I'd recommend ExcludeSyncFolders. This version is cleaner and a lot more future-proof. Later on, after working on NickelHook, I decided to make an updated version, kobo-dotfile-hack-ng, mostly for myself and for testing NickelHook. That replaced kobo-dotfile-hack for the majority of people. I had done many more hacks on the Kobo Glo HD, but I decided to take a more streamlined, minimalist and, hopefully, easier for new users than the pile of hacks I was doing before (which I expand on at the end of the article).

Then, ExcludeSyncFolders was added by Kobo, but it took some time for and the others to figure out how to use it.

It's a bit more complex than that: kobo-dotfile-hack (the one in the thread) was put together in an hour or two and wasn't very future-proof or polished (in fact, an update a few releases after started using /etc/ld.so.preload for some optimized stdlib functions, which conflicts with kobo-dotfile-hack). I suppose using kobo-dotfile-hack-ng makes the line ExcludeSyncFolders in the conf file no longer required, right? Thank you. If you cannot understand the text directions, then I don't think so-called simplified directions is going to help. I don't get why these directions are needed, You then have to be able to understand the documentation in order to start using NM. I had no problem at all reading the directions and following them. I did have another look at the directions and even if they were 100% correct, I still would find them harder to use then the directions given in the NickelMenu thread. directories from being scanned is not the latest version. Kobo have stopped the roll-out of firmware version 6 for unknown reasons. One other thing that's not quote correct. Not sure what's going on there.įinally, if you're making an Installing NickelMenu for Dummies guide, then you should probably also briefly explain how to write the config file, or include a premade one.

It looks like your `config` file is actually a folder. (Also, no need to reupload the doc file, it's on GitHub) If that didn't happen when you tried it, there might be something wrong. That's done automatically when installing NM. You don't need to create the `/.adds/nm` folder or manually add the docs.

You never mention putting the `KoboRoot.tgz` file in the `.kobo` folder, so you never actually install NM per these instructions. I like that you include the `ExcludeSyncFolders` trick, but everything else is incorrect. All You Need to Know About the Amazon Kindle Kobo Clara HD Review: A.

Not to be too critical, but I kind of agree with Jon here. The Kobowriter is a DIY hack that turns an e-reader into a typewriter.Single-purpose.
