Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

I saw that telescope 2.8 is out. Anything new in this release?

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

The OP has no link to the original thread and my search is being flood with this thread. I am still searching for the OP.........very upsetting.

I stumbled for 30 min, looked into control panel, xterm, and stood up, and walked around 15 times, and went to bath room, still have no squat idea how to start this thing called telescope. Here I am, how do you use it? Yes, I installed it without problem, and checked AppMan it was installed and rebooted, nothing. I read thru this thread and read every single post of Mitrandir and decided it is time to go sleep

Yes, sorry, i forgot to post announcement here.

Telescope 0.2.8

• Huge source code refactoring. I think around 40-60% of source code was refactored in order to improve internal logic of the application, eliminate potential bugs and make it more easy to bring enhancements in future
• It's now possible to move selection with joystick if you put following into your /etc/telescope.keys:
  
  Code:

  ---

  press(Right):  internal(selectRight)
press(Left):  internal(selectLeft)
press(Up):    internal(selectUp)
press(Down):  internal(selectDown)
press(Return): internal(switchToSelected)

  ---

• Several potential bugs was fixed
• Added a couple of config-options for one guy who tries to adopt Telescope on Ubuntu on N8x0

You just need to press Home key (F5). One with house symbol on N800 and with two overlapping squares on N810. This key usually calls native task navigator (onscreen menu with window list). After installing Telescope this button will call the graphical task switcher with thumbnails like at screenshot in first post.
:)

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

0.2.8 update added to first page.
Explanation to use the home/F5 key to start Telescope added.

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

silvermountain, thanks!

The next bit of work for you: :)
Telescope 0.2.8.1

• Home (F5) key for calling Telescope can now be changed using "hotkey = …" in /etc/telescope.conf

BTW, Telescope is really lacks the logo… Unfortunately, my drawing skills are horrible and any help from you guys would be much appreciated!
I really love the icon of Microsoft WorldWide Telescope. But my tries to draw something similar was failed with shame :(

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

Sorry, can't help you 'cause of my situation (without PC and Internet)...

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

Mitrandir, I had the same question as bunanson when I first installed Telescope. I hunted through the menus and didn't find it. I think I discovered how it worked by accident. :)

Suggestion: include an explanation similar to the one you just gave bunanson in the description of TeleScope that shows up in the Applications Manager. Another suggestion would be to pop up a message box after TeleScope installs, but that might be overkill.

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

When I try to install this from maemo garage (as your first post has no link... to it?), I get slammed with missing dependencies.
Update: Ahh, fixed it

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

buurmas, thanks, this makes sense. I think i will include short popup notice into packet in next release.

silvermountain, could you please add link to these both to first post:
1. Garage page: https://garage.maemo.org/projects/telescope. Please add notice that dependencies won't be installed automatically when installing from deb-file from garage page. But all dependencies are available in Extras repository.
2. Install-file for installing from Extras-Devel: http://skriblovsky.net/maemo/telescope.install. Please add big fat note that this install-file will add unstable Extras-Devel repository to one's device.
Thank you!

Mgamerz, thank you to pointing on this

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

yep, it was a case of "this program, it do nothing" then hitting the home button to switch to browser and going "hey, cool".

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

A bit delayed, but done ;-)

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

silvermountain, thanks!

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

Telescope 1.0 in Extras!

http://maemo.org/downloads/product/OS2008/telescope/

No new features, this is just copy of 0.2.9 tested for stability.
Comments and votes are welcome!

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

Hurray! good job, congrad!

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

Congratulations!

You may want to start a real [Announce] thread now for Telescope now that it's really released - and you can update post #1 in it as well ;)

Once again, congratulation on a great job with this app!

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

Thanks :)

Actually, i'm not sure moving telescope into extras deserves duplication of this thread... But if i bother you too often asking to update 1st post again and again, i will create new one :)

By the way, do you have full 800x480 version of screenshot you've attached to 1st post? Or may be you can create another one with your fancy wallpaper and diablo5 theme?

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

Lol no 'bother' at all but I will be less regularly online for the next 4-6 months coming up so I'm worried I won't be able to have the turn-around your app needs - and you deserve the 'thanks' that comes with it :)

I'll see if I have that image left, and if not, if I can make a new one :)

Re: Telescope: Application Manager Tool
 

Okay, i've started the new thread about telescope:
