Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 
Okay, so I'm currently on dial-up here at home.
One page takes a little more than 4 minutes to load with nothing else running in the background. This is fun! :p

So without having the time to search through all of this thread, is it possibly to compile for this Diablo?

I'm using rapier now, which is very nice. Not all too much that I find wrong with it except wishing for red text in passages that the lord speaks and maybe hardware keys for scrolling or perhaps a slight better scrolling feature.

Other than that, I'm quite happy with it but would also love to see anything else offered here by you gentlemen for the older tablets.

The package in extras testing now has more than the required ten karma. Besides waiting for 10 days, is there anything else that needs to be done to make the package promotable to extras?

I've been continuing work in svn. Katana now has basic PDB support (no byte-shifted files, and no searching), although I've run into a few Qt/Maemo5 bugs along the way.

Once PDB support is a little more polished, I plan to switch the Select Translations screen over to use a select widget rather than buttons.

No, that's it. You just have to remember to log in: that one always gets me.

I guess i'll have to look at the code but could you comment on how involved it was to add support for content not in a SWORD module? Which particular palm db format is it?

In the process of adding PDB support, I refactored a lot of the engine code, so the class interface for adding an engine is pretty simple, and there doesn't need to be much, if any, code duplication. I hope to add e-Sword format support at some point, and will probably clean up the code even more at that point.

Obviously, the code to actually read any given format will vary in complexity.

The format is the one used by Palm Bible+, symbianbible, etc. It's a pretty common format, though completely undocumented.

Thank you qole. :)

Tried to find some documentation on the Palm Bible+ format and was unsuccessful. Do you have any link to documentation on the format

Well, as I said, it's completely undocumented. :-) I'll try to add some documentation to katana source code soon.

Well, folks, Katana is in extras!

In related news, I'm close to uploading a new version to extras-devel. This version will include PDB support and lots of UI improvements (scrolling flakiness, reducing the number of buttons, etc.)

Is the Bible just in English or other languages are available?

Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 
Really great jobs everyone, I've been looking for a bible-reader for a while.

Some suggestions/comments:
- The scrolling is very unstable (in the bible install screen)
- Within the read-screen, the scrolling is good, but it needs a scroll bar.
- Also, a page up/down command would be nice (maybe an implementation similar to fbreader would be nice, where you touch the top-half of the screen to go up a page, etc. (possibly fbreader's only redeeming quality...) [I know the space bar does this, but I don't want to open the keyboard every time]
- I should be able to jump back to a previous book easily (i.e. I should be able to scroll from Exodus to Genesis seamlessly.
- The program is a bit laggy overall.

Once again, these are meant as constructive criticisms not insults, and I'd be happy to help out in any way.

PS: @Patroclo, You can select to download bibles of different languages at the install screen, or from Settings->Install Translations->Language
