Yes, until you add an entry, the menu will be blank.
If you install NickelMenu with the appropriate exclusion in .kobo/Kobo/Kobo eReader.conf file, the configuration files will not show in Nickel. This is done automatically if you use the install script in the second message in the One-Click Install Packages for KOReader & Plato or you can manually edit the file to add/modify the ExcludeSyncFolders line under the [FeatureSettings] header: Code:
ExcludeSyncFolders=(\\.(?!kobo|adobe).+|([^.][^/]*/)+\\..+) |

I tried to edit my last post to say I figured it out, but couldn't thanks for the help.
What is the difference between the following reading_life:reading_life - Activity (with last tab) reading_life:stats - Activity I installed them both and they showed the same stats. |

I'm new to this and have followed the instructions and am using a mac. I've created a "config" document that's blank and have put it in the proper folder but when I click NM on my device i'm getting a configuration error. Totally lost here. Any guidance would be appreciated.

You can't have a blank config file. You have to add menu entries so NickelMenu has menu items to display. The example config is here:

I need to uninstall this. Is there an uninstall configuration somewhere I can put in this folder nm folder on my device to get rid of this? I'm not successful with the failsafe method by turning this libra colour off and on within 20 seconds and I am not seeing this "libsm" (or whatever it's called) file it says I can remove anywhere on my device (the instructions should say where one might find this file). I appreciate the effort that goes into creating these things but I find the instructions are not written for the average person and lots of assumptions are made when providing directions. |

I did that and did a reboot and I still have the NM menu item showing on my device. Is there anything in the "file" or am I just placing a simple blank .txt file with the name uninstall in that folder (which by the way is what I've done).

The uninstall file is not a .txt file. There is no file extension. When I tested it, I use a zero-length file.
As to why there is no basic menu? Almost everyone using NickelMenu has their own idea of what options they want. If you look at the end of the doc file past the line starting "# For example, you might have a configuration file named "mystuff" like:" and then copy paste the next lines down to but not including the line starting "# If there is an error in the configuration,' to a new file, remove the #s from the start of the line and save it as whatever name you care to give it (I used NM_Config), you will have a valid configuration file.

Sure, I understand everyone has their own ideas about what should be in the menu -- but there are some of us who would be fine with basic things that are plug and play and useful. Those who are proficient can add as they wish and I'm envious of that skill. Nonetheless, what the dev has done is pretty amazing but I'm gonna go without the useful bonus features the nifty app offers. This is my first Kobo and I miss things from the Kindle -- but I'll adapt. |
