Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

So I just pushed 1.0.7-3 to extras-devel

Besides somethings brought up here, I've gotten some feedback on Fremantle issues and I have tried to make fixes for them. Dialcentral should now be usable on a n900 from what I hear.

• Fix for collapsing conversations
• Protection from sending empty texts
• Debugging help on the random callback number issue
• Random cleanups and code fixes
• Fremantle Fix: Can't activate rows (TreeView changed in that you can't select things which I relied upon)
• Fremantle Fix: Error with changing callback number (python-hildon varied a little bit between Fremantle and Mer)

I need to go to sleep so I can't wait to test the package (people end up getting to test the package before me anyways even when I don't pre-announce them). So run at your own risk but I would love to hear from Fremantle users to know if I should even push to extras-testing and help me with pushing to "Extras".

There are still two known issues on Fremantle

• Messages aren't shown properly in the messages tab
• Buttons are a little small

I haven't investigated the first one of those. That'll be a weird one to debug. From the descriptions I was given, I at least have a hint as to what the issue might be.

The second is easier due to public documentation on it but from all the public documentation and source I've read, it doesn't look like setting the size of buttons to be thumb friendly is in PyMaemo yet.

To me it sounds like the main issue is when you have a contact with multiple numbers, you would like to be able to switch which number you reply to? Does that sound correct?

Sleep :)

Finish on the Fremantle feedback I've been given.

Try and fix random bugs people have posted to the garage project.

That is part of it yes. I might miss a call from someone driving home and would rather contact them on their home phone later on, ect. The other part is streamlining your replying to sms and calls.(ignore the girl on the top, she was there to make you look)

Once you click on a message you are presented with the option to reply right away, or you can select the other options from the bottom. It gives you more flexibility than you have now (linked to your address book), less clicks to get where you may be going (one click reply to text), and still keeps the options to dial or cancel. You can use the same interface in the recent calls list as well, keeping all the functionality and making it a little more streamlined.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

For those who anxiously grab anything in extras-devel, don't install 1.0.7-5. It has issues. I'm hoping 1.0.7-6 should fixed them and be usable.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Very nice!

Okay, so before when I clicked on the message tab, I could click on any message and then it would highlight it so I could respond back by SMS.

Now when I click on a message nothing happens.

No highlight, no poop squat, no screw you message. Nothing.

Also, how does one expand collapsed messages? I got slammed with 10 of them but they're not showing, it only says that they are hidden.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I switched from single selection to no selection. It means you don't select and then double tap, just double. The downside is no visual indicator. This was a change I was experimenting with to try and match the behavior on Fremantle. With fremanlte it does provide a visual indicator with no-selection.

Thoughts on this are appreciated.

The only way is to view it in the sms entry dialog. Some were ok with this, I don't know if its ok for everyone though. I am currently undecided with what direction I want to take this part.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Okay, that's fine.

Could you at least make the SMS entry screen fit the entire length of the screen though?

The way it's set right now cuts off text when reading.

I'm mostly in the clear now on my NDA so I wanted to provide a

Thank You Nokia

for sponsoring Dialcentral for Fremantle support by loaning me an n900.

The n900 is amazing.

Dialcentral runs well but still has some minor non-showstopper issues.

For those that don't know, there is a 10 day waiting period plus 10 karma point requirement to advance from extras-testing to extras.

So for those at Maemo Summit with devices, please test Dialcentral and give it some thumbs up love.

Congrats epage!

Well deserved! :D



Edit:
Now fix the darn thing already! *lol*



Just kidding. :)
