Re: Bible App for Maemo 5 Device(s)
 
jmc8501, thanks for the feedback. Some questions:
- What do you mean by "unstable" scrolling?
- Are there specific places where the reader feels laggy?

The idea behind Katana is that it's "infinite-scroll" - i.e. you can scroll forever. Having to stop at the end of a book doesn't fit in with that, and I'm planning to remove that limitation. So, with infinite scroll, scrollbars don't really make sense.

You can actually use the volume rocker to page up/down. This is especially nice in portrait mode, because you can hold the phone in your right hand and your thumb falls right on the rocker. That's the way that I use Katana 90% of the time.

Hope that helps!

I asked this before, but is there any possibility on releasing this for Diablo as well?

Katana is built on Qt 4.6, and the developers of Qt have not ported it to Diablo. So until Qt 4.6 is ported to Diablo, the answer is unfortunately no.

With 0.4.0 (unsure about previous versions) if I start the app with no texts, it segfaults. Just an FYI as most people won't have texts when they first start it.

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.
Thanks a million, I tried using PDB bible versions and it worked. Once you copy the files to MyDocs, it automatically shows in the "Select Translation" option. I also did a search and that also worked.

Okay, I know that religion can be a little touchy in these forums and didn't want to start a new thread on this.

But yeah, anyone have some good websites or internet radio stations you would be willing to share with me?

Here's one that I found to be quite excellent.

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.)
I don't know if you uploaded it yet but I downloaded and installed. After opening it, it starts to load, but never load all the way. Just crashes every time I open it.

Thanks heaps for all the work you've put into katana - it's really turning into a nice, simple, polished app.

Something I'd love to see in a future version would be an option to hide verse numbers and the verse cross references. Something like a 'reading mode', so all that's displayed is the text with chapter numbers. I've always found that I tend to get distracted easily by any extra data, so something like this would really help me focus when I'm reading :)
