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

Hy.

I found 2 bug in the latest (0.1.9-1) release.

1) about tab reports 0.1.8 version, however the real version is 0.1.9 (verified by app. manager)

2) the application refuses to sync with an error message of "Synchronizing without WLAN disabled in settings" however i'm connected into a WLAN network. If in settings i uncheck "only sync while on WLAN" and save the changes, sync works.

If any details needed please let me know.

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

Yes I forgot to update the version again to the dialog. Also I noticed this WLAN bug. I'll try to fix it soon. The work around is to uncheck that option in the settings as you said.

Thanks for taking the time to report.

I meant to ask, did you have a good trip and a good time at the conference? I hope you were able to take an IdeaPad home with you, and I hope Ben didnt snore too much ;)

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

Yes we both got IdeaPads running MeeGo 1.1, they are cool! Yeah we had a great trip, all sorts of interesting talks for developers like us for three days. Nice demos, nice demos, excellent food, it was all good. I didn't notice ben snoring, but I'm pretty sure I did so the joke was on him :D Didn't see around the city at all, every day 10h at the conference area made me feel more like just laying on the hotel bed watching some starcraft 2 matches.

It is an great trip. The conference is excellent! I didn't snore during the conference :P But I did all the time after the conference due to jet lag and I alway stay in the hacker lounge to mid-night. I met lcuk , who developed liqbase which is quite similar to PenPen , there. And we have talked a lot of thing about our software design.

It is only pity that I don't know which guy are you :(

Yesterday , we have a small MeeGo Meetup in Hong Kong. I have shown the Ideapad I got from the event. And now thinking about what I could do on the device. :)

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

I'd like to see some sort of autosync as well. (syncable via command line would be really great).

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

Yeah this is requested a lot. The problem is that there is alot of architecture that you need to bring up that enables the sync and also to bring up the connection to dropbox. I can look into this, but it will most likely be about the same as running the actual app minus the UI. I get the automation part though, I guess many people schedule things with some other apps to run. I'm hesitant to make the sync clock functionality myself, I think there are better separate apps for this.

Can you tell me how you parametrize this thing you would be using. you just give it a line like "python dropn900-sync.py --to "/home/user/whee" --from "/Dropbox/MyPhotos""?

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

That is a very valid question. Of the top of my head i think we can have a few parameters like
-sync-all (all uploads/downloads accepted)
-sync-chosen (Need an option in the actual UI to chose those files that can be synced from CLI)

And maybe others like
-downloads-only
-uploads-only
-photos-only

etc?

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

Some feedback as you asked for ;)

Bug:
- When browsing/scrolling through folder that contains pics and pic preview gets updated dropn900 filebrowser frame loses it´s white edge line on right side. Something to do with pic size because normal 4:3 pics do not make it lose but 3:4 pics do.

Enhancement & feature
- Show log window has two return buttons. IMO get ride of one on bottom to make it consistent with n900 UI
- Help window to explain different buttons (Haven´t read this thread and just updated...I have no idea what sync media does)
- Tap bottom current folder to expand collapse current folder or move focus to folder root
- Is is possible to get total folder size?
- sort by name & sort by size actions to top columns
- there is exit button in top menu, why?
- IMO you could snip couple of pixels from width of right side buttons to give more pixels for file browser
- I would still very very much like simple cli script that runs just sync of Dropn900. It would be awesome to be able to run dropn900 sync with cron/alarmed.

When everything is working as expected then maybe next step is this:

Amazing stuff. You have made really neat app!

.edit
hmmm
settings->synchronizing->folder
is empty and when I choose folder it stays empty. Some conflict in settings file or something...
Also hitting sync gives error "...WLAN disabled...." And it´s not and I´m connected to wlan.

..edit
White line disappears also when I go to top menu and return from it.

Hi,

Bug: If sync prompts to upload files and user selects ignore, the sync will not complete.

thanks,
