Locking rotation setting rm-appload

[KingOfSpades]

Starting this with another round of appreciation for all the work you are putting in!

Unsure if this is something in rm-appload or in KoReader but I'm trying to get the following use case to work:

"I use my Remarkable Paper Pro Move in landscape (locked rotation) and always want to start KoReader in landscape mode, or alternatively open in a fixed mode (portrait works fine as well because then I can rotate the book in KoReader)"

When I lock the rMPPM to landscape it looks like this:

1. Open App Load, opens in landscape
2. Open KoReader, opens in portrait

Pictures:

It looks like this setting is controlled by AppLoad because when I change orientation in KoReader it still works inside the the rotated app:

Orientation set to 90 degrees but still bound inside box

My current workaround is that I enable auto-rotate and then lock it to portrait. Then I rotate the books in KoReader.

Here's another suggestion for a simple workaround:

Copy the following into a .qmd file (e.g. forceKoreaderLandscape.qmd) in /home/root/xovi/exthome/qt-resource-rebuilder/ and the KOReader window will be rotated when the tablet is in landscape mode (assuming your appload app has the name "KOReader").

AFFECT /appload/qml/window.qml
TRAVERSE ?#windowCanvas
LOCATE BEFORE ALL
INSERT {
     rotation: root.appName === "KOReader" && root.globalWidth > root.globalHeight ? -90 : 0
}
REBUILD states
LOCATE BEFORE STREAM \  height: parent.height
                        width: windowCanvas.contentAspectRatio * parent.height \
REMOVE LOCATED
INSERT STREAM \
			height: windowCanvas.rotation === 0 ? parent.height : parent.width
			width: windowCanvas.rotation === 0 ? windowCanvas.contentAspectRatio * parent.height : windowCanvas.contentAspectRatio * parent.width \
END REBUILD
END TRAVERSE
END AFFECT

Small caveat: The topbar is still at the top, but the gesture for showing it is to swipe in from the left (it can be changed, but that is much easier to do in the appload source code, than with a .qmd file).
