Have you changed the size parameter?

Many new televisions have memory to store 1000 pages. The pages are numbered from 000-999, so not counting sub-pages, the maximum is 1000 pages. Since most numbers aren't used, the real total is probably a lot less, even counting sub-pages. I think a page is roughly 40x25 characters, making it about 1kB per page, so storing all pages from a channel only takes about 1 MB :-)

How about a similar feature in Dexter? Add an option to download all pages from a channel, and store them. That way it will be even faster than now, and it will have all pages available even when off-line!

I tried using the NOS config file, and it looks like it loaded. but now it doesn't even show the frontpage (page 100). it also wont show any other pages.

how can i edit the dexter file using Xterminal so that all the parameters are correct? (if they might not be).

or can i just edit the file opening the dexter.conf with notepad?

thanks

@Alex: you did include the missing parts for you NOS setup, did you? like the [sites] marker at the beginning, the numbers at the start of the lines, the size parameter at the end?

@copperviking:
how did you copy the file over to your n900? i'm asking because there's a slight chance you got wrong formating if you used an inappropriate text editor.


could both of you just open the terminal and type
The output would be interesting.

I type that code in x-terminal, but it says not found......

Can somebody tell me how to delete the dexter.config file in x-term.
What do I type in x-term? I try to start over hole thing to edit the config file to use mtv3 and yle. I just dont get it. I can edit config file, but it just shows yle. Do I have to edit those working donfig files in wiki? And what folder is empty Dextermv in home/user/config/.?

i just copied the text from http://wiki.maemo.org/Dexter

When i type the code you gave in Xterminal i get "no such file or directory"

sorry! sorry!
it should have been

cat .config/Dexter/dexter.conf
