Everything else seems to work correctly. I would say that after fixing those smaal issues it is ready for extras-testing.

Thanks for reporting these. The first one has probably something to do with fuelpad.desktop file and the next one with the postinst script. I haven't touched the desktop file for a long time. From the postinst script I only have removed the maemo-select-menu-location call for Fremantle. I do have a call to gtk-update-icon-cache with

Quote:

gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor

I'll have to check if this needs to be changed for Fremantle.

Before I noticed your message, I submitted a new package version (0.82-fremantle4) to autobuilder. It should be now available in extras-devel. Quoting the changelog:

Quote:

* Record filtering UI redesigned
* Enabled column selection
* Corrected import wizard starting from the second page
* Moved database related options to the bottom of Settings dialog
* Added database open button to Settings dialog
* Individual units are only shown in Settings dialog if enabled
* Added XSBC-Bugtracker field to debian/control
* The default location of the database has been changed to /home/user with Fremantle

Re: Fuelpad for Fremantle

I did some testing with the new version and it seems to work correctly. It has now all the features I need. Thank you very much!

One thing that I have been a little worried is the big default font size in the main table. You only see a couple of rows. Is it tedious to pan a long table from top to bottom? Using a mouse in scratchbox is really a PITA when you have, say, fuel fills for 100000 km.

Re: Fuelpad for Fremantle

To get the big icon and the pretty name (capital F) you need to change the debian/control file.

XB-Maemo-Icon-26 now should be a 48x48 pixel icon. And with XB-Maemo-Display-Name you can set the app name to "Fuelpad".

But it should not be a problem as in the media player I have few hundred albums and it's very fast to scroll down the whole list. Faster you move you finger faster the list scrolls.

Thanks Conny. For some reason I had thought that the pretty name is specified in the desktop file. No wonder it never worked! The big icon thing I just realised when the application manager suggested to update Fuelpad.

I updated these and will send an updated package soonish...

Thanks. I suspected that kinetic scrolling might be that good.

I think that I may have to buy an N900. It has been a while since I spent over 500 euros to a phone (a Nokia 2010 back in 1996).

I don't consider myself a "core member". The only problem of me getting a device is to convince my wife that every hobby costs something and instead of buying us a new LCD TV, I'll by myself a new toy (as my wife and children call my tablets (N800 & 770)).

But: Frank, thank you for your confidence in me.

Re: Fuelpad for Fremantle

You have 1751 downloads and counting. I plan on using it, the only reason I'm not is that I still have my Palm phone with an existing app on it, once I get my N900, Palm is gone and Fuelpad is in. I think that your application will be very popular moving forward.
