Oh, wow, thanks. Well that solved that bugger for me then. Now I know what not to use in auto-rotate.

Now if only that code could be implemented to the MicroB. Maybe by forcing the browser to disable its own portrait and making a switch, that'd use the Ctrl+Shift+R automatically, just like in Settings-panel?

EDIT: Hmm. It seems to be so, that it doesn't work always. I opened the browser, pressed the shortcut (Camera adjusted for that) and I got the new portrait only once per session. Buggy, I'd say?

@ rantom

For me it actually works every time. Maybe check your settings again.

You have to enable it for every new window, I believe. Since, you know, each new window opens with whatever the 'default' rotation settings are. (I'm fiddling with it now, and I'm not getting consistent rotation either, but I'm not actually connected to the internet, so maybe there's something like a "one per page loaded" rotation bug, or something. *Shrug*)

As for making something autorotate, you have to fake key presses - that's how shortcutd does it. (This is also why if you use the enable rotation shortcut in quick succession, you can see "Caps Lock On" come up. Because the OS sees two shift key presses closely together - where-as normally it simulates the ctrl-shift-r combination and then 'unpresses' the keys fast enough that the second press of shift isn't counted with the first... or something like that.)

Fake keyboard presses are part of the X window system's normal libraries, though I don't know of any way to run them from the command line. There's an xdotool program out there, but it's not ported from the N900. If you could do it from command line - dbus calls, or by porting xdotool, or some other method I don't know - then you can stick it in dbus scripts or something, and run it upon the opening of a MicroB window.

just got another update today. it included modest...which is good, as since the last update, my modest crashes and closes incessantly!

hope this fixes it.

and, btw, my about product still says 20.2010.36-2 as well.

oh, and i still no longer have a bottom button to send email.

could have sworn it was there before i did the ssu here.

My request for a modification to Microb would be to have it open new windows in the background.

The idea of opening a new window would most often seem to be in order to continue working in the present window.

@rotoflex,

and then we would continue to tap on what we want open, only to eventually figure out once we minimized in frustration, that we actually did open 50 other windows, showing the powerful multi-tasking ability to run that many windows simultaneously, and finally stop cussing because the damn thing was "working"

lol

the media player widget doesnt work with the new ssu anymore

Please, you can fix the bug of the ovi maps for use the gps offline without internet? Thanks
