Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
Jonnenau,
Thanks for the quick update. Adjusting the width is no big deal, especially compared to not being able to run at all. I was starting to get Dropbox withdrawal. But that has been solved. Frank |
Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
Attila did respond in the Dev forum that a new version of PyQt for PR1.3 is coming. Hopefully that will take most of the weirdness away ! :)
Great news that things are running again ! |
Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
Yay! DropN900 is back!!!
|
Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
Is it working for you ?
|
Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
It works!
But do I allways have to resize the Name-bar manually? Because in the new release the namebar is so small and sizebar so big. And it's still missing the option to download whole folder... |
Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
Yeah nice it's working again. But I can't really read the font cause it's black on black background :D
Any way to chance it ? |

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
First off, I would like to thank jonnenau for developping dropn900. I had been waiting for something like this but found the application only one week after upgrading to PR1.3. I did feel like slapping my face! The happier I was after the update was accessible. Thanks a lot!
Can you imagine the difficulties I had when trying to type in my login information in black type against a black background? Well, I have not found a cure for that but at least a remedy: I could verify my typing by marking it by use of the shift and arrow keys. That way the type appears highlighted. -- Hope this helps others! Cheers! St. Mueller, Switzerland |

If you have a big file and change just a few bytes the sync done by the Dropbox client is very fast (win/mac). In the example given, a TC file, the size never changes, the timestamp is reseted and still the Dropbox client keeps the changed bytes and only them synced. Even a conflict file (a complete new copy of some version) is created very fast, no full transmission involved. That sad, I wouldn't expect a mobile app to do all that. It would be awesome, but probably not possible. LARelogio |

You can't compare just on speed because one of the things that are really slow on the n900 (and similar devices) is writing to the non-onboard nand (where the rootfs is located) compared to the a regular HD. I don't know how dropn900 handles it, butit could probably save some speed by splitting up the downloading thread from the thread that saves it to disk. (instead of having a read => write loop). @jonnenau: Just wanted to give a shout out and say thank you very much for everything you put into making this app work great. Saved me quite a few times in the past 2 weeks. |
Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
Yeah I'm not entirely convinced that they would update just the few changed bits of the file. I guess they might, its not even that hard if you just have all the data what to do and where. I do agree dropbox PC client is very fast on big files so they must do something smart. But do remember the full blown client is in a constant pipe connection to the remote servers to get all data/updates/notifications immediately. I on the other hand have to use a REST api so polling for changes.
You can think of it this way: you have quite ok working sync while as far as I know the DropBox companys own iPhone, BlackBerry etc. mobile clients dont have any sync at all. I think the other operating systems might be the limiting factor to a point, so yey for maemo :rolleyes: Quote:
I actually do have separate threads for writing files to disk and getting them from the network :) So when the network fetch is done to memory I start writing that to disk in another thread and start the next network thread at the same time. If you are into code here: TransferWorker and DataWorker. Let me know if you have ideas at making the code better, I'm always open for that. |
Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
Here's a relevant help document from dropbox about syncing changes only:
https://www.dropbox.com/help/8 I am not sure if this is available in the api you are using, but it definitely exists in the desktop client. Thanks for writing this app by the way. This was one of the things that android had that I wish maemo also had, and you made it! |

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
Not sure if this is a bug or expected behavior but here is something weird I notice everytime I sync my Dropbox folders.
Say, I have a folder called folder2 in my DropBox which is located inside another folder called folder1. So the path from my home in DropBox account is "/folder1/folder2" In the DropBox client on my N900, I have my default download folder set to "MyDocs/DropN900" and my sync path is set to "/folder1/folder2" Now whenever I try to sync my files, it Downloads folder2 and it directly under the default directly instead of first creating a sub-folder called folder1 and then put folder2 inside folder1. All files goto "MyDocs/DropN900/folder2" instead of "MyDocs/DropN900/folder1/folder2" as expected. |

And yeah as I said if you have to mechanisms in place the binary diff as they call it there is not too hard to do. You just need full control whats going on on the client and the servers and that is what they have. Quote:
I understand your point and this would be trivial to make but this is how I went with it. You select one folder at a time and I sync it to the default dl folder. I dont try to mimic the whole hierarchy from dropbox while doing so. This would propably get quite confusing once you start selecting sync folders from deep down. Just sync folder1 to make head hurt less or rearrage your dropbox to suit your needs :) |

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

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

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 ? |

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: Code:
Nokia-N800-43-7:~# apt-cache show libqtcore4(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
I seem unable to install DropN900:
Code:

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

Open a terminal, and type: sudo apt-get install python2.5-sip4=4.10.5-maemo0 That fixed a whole bunch of python apps for me. Thanks to noobmonkey in this thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=861142 |
Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
Oh wow, thanks jhepburn for posting that here. I think many got that earlier when PyQt updated itself before the pr 1.3, but seems its come back to haunt us. Should I actually put that as a dependency like python2.5-sip4>=4.10.5-maemo0 for dropn900?

Re: [Announce] DropN900 - the maemo 5 DropBox client
I have installed Dropn900 today and it doesn't start.
I have the "pyQt4 Full Install" and when i try to start the dropn900 via console i'll get "File "./dropn900.py", line 7, in <module> from PyQt4.QtGui import QApplication RuntimeError: the sip module implements APO v8.0 but the PyQt4.QtGui module requires API v7.1" Any hints for an solution to get it fixxed ? Edit: sudo apt-get install python2.5-sip4=4.10.5-maemo0 also worked for me - thanks! |
