Re: [WIP] Immoral - a Py/QML mail client.

Hey everyone,

Unfortunately my N900 has succumb to the USB port issue. Since I'm South Africa - Nokia tells me I'll have to ship it to the USA to get it repaired. Considering I don't have the fine...

Re: [WIP] Immoral - a Py/QML mail client.

Thanks :)

My main problem at the moment is that the damn thing doesn't run properly on the N900. It has everything to do with threads, but as anyone who works with them knows, debugging threads is...

Re: [WIP] Immoral - a Py/QML mail client.

Hah, making me feel old. I'm doing second year engineering up at UCT - electrical and computer to be specific.

I've been awfully quiet lately - mostly due to exams - so here's an update.

Re: QML performance with OpenGL vs without.

QML is most certainly not slow in real use. Turning off OpenGL gave a huge performance boost, and I'd say the GUI performance of my Python / QML app is far greater than the built in C / GTK ones.

Re: [WIP] Immoral - a Py/QML mail client.

Almost ready to release a (pre) alpha version for testing - pretty much all I need to implement for that is the signaling between the GUI and daemon.

In the meantime:

Re: QML webview unable to load from html property or file:// URL

That seems so obvious - yet I would've never have gotten it... I guess because in QML most things defaulted to white, I figured the webview would've done the same! Haha, I should go rest for a bit......

Re: [WIP] Immoral - a Py/QML mail client.

I have - and I'm borrowing ideas from there as well as from Android, and from desktop mail clients. I'm not a designer, and for me the GUI part is boring ;) the fun bits all happen under the hood.

QML performance with OpenGL vs without.

Running my app on the N900, much to my dismay I noticed a visable lag in the transitions. Disabling OpenGL seems to have sped things up quite dramatically - and it's noticable toggling between the...

Re: [WIP] Immoral - a Py/QML mail client.

That GUI is quite basic still - my plan is to essentially hide any read messages in the threading view, replacing them with a "..." which will cut down quite a bit on wasted screen real estate.

Re: [Technical Discussion] Porting WhatsApp to the N900

IIRC, it has been shown and tested that reverse engineering proprietary protocols for interoperability is perfectly legal. See things like the open source clients for AIM / MSN / etc.
