Koreader: Can't find the Screensaver option

[hpdung99]

• KOReader version: v2015.11-1370g5ee6c01
• Device: Kobo Aura One

Issue

Screensaver isn't available to modify after switching to the 3rd option of it (sorry i don't remember it actually), now the screensaver is always the current read + a "Sleeping" note.

Sorry if this problem has already been pointed out elswhere, but I've been finding solutions for almost a week now but no help at all.

Steps to reproduce

crash.log (if applicable)

crash.log is a file that is automatically created when KOReader crashes. It can
normally be found in the KOReader directory:

• koreader/ directory for Kindle
• .adds/koreader/ directory for Kobo
• applications/koreader/ directory for Pocketbook

Please try to include the relevant sections in your issue description.
You can upload the whole crash.log file on GitHub by dragging and
dropping it onto this textbox, or you can use one of these paste services.
Please don't forget to set a high expiration date if you do.

I can't confirm. (The third option is auto stretch this book's cover image in screensaver.) I suspect it's rather that you're reading a book that doesn't have a cover image, which would make this a duplicate of #2917.

PS Unless of course you mean that you selected the second option (exclude this book's cover from screensaver).

Thanks for replying.

And sorry for my bad English, I think that my limited grammar and English knowledge has lead you to misunderstanding. My problem is that I could not find the "Screensaver" option, which I believe will appear when I hit the Configure tab (include options like Frontlight, Network, Screen etc.), and I cannot customize my screensaver without it (is there an alternative way to do it?). I wish that I could bring that option back, but I cannot find out what lead to it, also what can I do to fix that problem.

Oh, I see the problem.

If you disable the first option (use last book's cover as screensaver) then the menu isn't displayed in the reader:

You can then only reactivate it from the filemanager.

This behavior doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me, but for the moment you can go into the filemanager → settings → screensaver → use last book's cover as screensaver.

Thanks, the second solution worked. If I get into the file manager and successfully checked the "use last book's cover as screensaver" tick box, the Screenshot option is available again in my documents.
