2-exclude-folders — Exclude folders and files from History and Statistics
Prevents selected folders or files from appearing in Reading History or being tracked by Reading Statistics. Settings are saved automatically — no manual file editing required.
| Method | How |
|---|---|
| Long-press a folder or file in File Manager | Buttons appear at the bottom of the context menu |
| Tools → Exclude Folders & Files | Full list view — add paths manually or remove existing entries |
| Tools → Exclude this book… | Available inside the reader — excludes the currently open book |
- Folders — partial match:
"Manga"excludes everything under any path containing that word - Files — exact match: only that specific file is excluded
- Matching is case-sensitive
- History — excluded entries are removed the next time you open the History view
- Statistics — excluded files are ignored after the book is reopened
- If a file is inside an already-excluded folder, its button will be greyed out — the exclusion is inherited from the parent folder and cannot be removed directly
2-incognito — Open a book without leaving any trace
Opens a file in incognito mode — nothing from the session is saved.
Long-press a file in File Manager → Open Incognito appears at the bottom of the context menu.
When you open a book via Open Incognito:
- no history
- no statistics
- no progress saved
- no document settings saved or modified
- no highlights or notes saved or modified
- no
.sdrsidecar folders created or modified

2-hide-status-bar — Hide status bar ( 3 actions + auto-hide in night mode )
Hides the entire status bar (footer + alt status bar for CRE documents), with auto-hide support in night mode.
| Type | Action | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Menu | Reader: Config → Status bar → Hide status bar | Toggle — persisted, restored on next open |
| Menu | Reader: Config → Status bar → Hide status bar in night mode | Auto-hide when night mode is active |
| Gesture / Profile | Reader → Hide status bar | One-way: hide (not persisted) |
| Gesture / Profile | Reader → Show status bar | One-way: show (not persisted) |
| Gesture / Profile | Reader → Toggle status bar visibility | Toggle — persisted |
- State is persisted across book sessions
- For CRE documents (e-ink text rendering), also hides the alt status bar at the top
- Hide / Show actions do not persist state — intended for temporary control (gestures, profiles)
- Menu options are only available while a book is open
2-physical-page-count — Match page numbers to a physical edition
Adds a Physical page count option. Enter the number of pages in the physical book and KOReader automatically calculates the correct characters-per-page value so the page counter matches the printed edition.
In-book top menu → Navigation → Physical page count… Opens the input dialog
2-filemanager-title-hide — Hide "KOReader" title
Removes the large title from the File Manager without leaving empty space behind. The current path subtitle remains visible.
2-filemanager-subtitle-margin — Cosmetic fix
Adds horizontal padding to the file path shown in the File Manager title bar — useful when it overlaps with buttons.
Note
The back arrow button comes from a separate patch by sebdelsol: 2-browser-up-folder.lua
1-gettext-translate — Custom translations for patches and plugins
Lets you add translations for any string in a community patch or plugin — without modifying any official KOReader files.
Setup:
- Set your language at the top of the file:
local LANGUAGE = "pl" -- "pl" = Polish, "de" = German, "fr" = French, "es" = Spanish- Add your translations to the
translationstable:
["My English string"] = "Mój polski string",Note
This only works for strings explicitly wrapped in _("..."). Official KOReader translations are never overwritten.
