Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client

This is what I'm trying to accomplish:

Sync N900 DCIM folder to Dropbox /Nokia N900/Photos/ so I can automatically import new images on my mac through dropbox with iphoto.

How can I do this in the settings? I'm a little confused. Excuse my stupidity if I'm missing the obvious.

Cheers, and thanks for the app btw - it's brill!

But then youll also be downloading sync stuff to the camera location so not that great.

I will try to do this for the next release possibly. Just one way push of the whole folder to a dropbox location would be ideal i think, getting them back not that needed.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client

You've got that all right mate, I adgree with everything you said.

Please do let me know if/when you eventually get this coded in. Rather than resubscribe to this thread, as I usually do, a PM would be great!

Thanks again, keep up the good work! :)

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client

Nice the photo sync option would be great!! just a simple dump to photo folder

Yes and yes.
May be not the few bytes changed, but a very little overflow. I'm talking about several MB to some GB files. First time they are seen, it will take hours to sync, both on upload and on download. The subsequent updates are much faster and roughly proportional to the data changed.
Also there is an indexed phase each time a big file is modified and before the upload begins. And there are big data areas that Dropbox uses on your hard drive.
Now... this is not something you want to have on your very small battery powered device.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client

Hi i'm reporting a bug when I start the application using the command line :

line 7 in <module> from PyQt4.QtGui
runtime error: the sip module implements API v8.0 but the PyQt4.QtGui module requires API v7.0

The application does'nt start, I'm using the Pr_1.3 version what do you think about ?

I guess it might be as simple as just pushing the debs to diablo repos with the web uploader here on maemo.org. That just requires the OS to have those two packages for it to work. Also i guess it needs to have the same /opt/myapp possibility and home/<user>/MyDocs folder for the data.

Following up since my father now has an N800 (I got three of 'em on eBay as part of a package not too long ago, and only needed two of 'em) and has some interest...

python2.5-qt4 appears to be available on the N8x0 devices. I'm not sure which repository, but I suspect it's maemo-extras (the only repository changes on my devices are Diablo Community SSU repository added and maemo-extras enabled). I haven't tried actually installing it (my daddy's a Perl man, and he's taught his kids accordingly ;) ), but it is available for install. So far as I can tell it's QT 4.5.3.

Some apt-cache show results (for libqtcore4 and python2.5-qt4-core) follow:

Description: Python bindings for Qt4 Core components.

 This package contains the python extensions and modules.

/home/user/MyDocs is a standard on the N800/N810 as well, but /opt isn't. You install everything on rootfs and just sort of pray you don't run out of space. :) That said, there *is* an /opt directory, so if you're perverse you could go that route anyways; it just doesn't do anything useful on Maemo 4.

(Please note that I don't know with 100% confidence (it's more like 90%) how optifying works; it looks very much to me like an official, standardized way of creative use of symlinks. If that's the case, then there's no problem. If there's something more involved, I suppose we might have minor issues to worry about.)

I ought to be able to do turn-it-on-and-see-if-it-doesn't-explode style testing if needed, although I'm not exactly a heavy DropBox user (Daddy hasn't quite fully converted me yet ;) ), and so would need occasional Clueless Noob usage advice w/r/t functionality. (The three N800s are presently in active use, but I've also got an N810 that is more or less just lying around for the time being, so it's available for abuse.) If there's any preliminary experimenting you'd like me to give a try, let me know and I'll start poking around.

Hope this helps!

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client

Yes, the version of (py)Qt available for Maemo4/Diablo is much older than what we now have on the N900.

Moreover, it does not automatically "hildonize" standard code to make it look like a native Maemo app, so the UI will appear totally different.

Other than that, most PyQt code written for the N900 should run, apart from specific Maemo API calls of course.

As for /opt, I guess it's probably best to install a Python app in MyDocs anyway.

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client

N800 seems quite good. If the same canonic python lib and qt-maemo is not there, some code changes are there. This would affect: app not requesting a internet connection if not present and maemo5 notification banners.

PyQt 4.7 prob my app uses the normal 4.6 qt. people will have probs if they try to get 4.7 pyqt. i think i will need to force the pyqt version to my deb it seems. I will look into this.

-----

Writing this from air plane with my N900. Going to Dublin thanks top you guys votes! I will try to make some time there for coding dropn900 :) depends on how much interesting stuff there is. Im sharing a room with Benlau who is a fan of the app too and won another category on the competition, im very exited! Will be back to finland late on thursday night.
