Just click on the package name, the changelog is available there:
http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...1-01-04maemo0/

This is from the "debian" changelog, IIRC there is some kind of maemo specific changelog, too. It's not in place yet.

Under settings/Theme settings/Show screen wile playing/ choose "cabbiev2"

Huh, that should be the default theme. Otherwise it looks .... not so pretty

Anything special that triggers this? Once in a while I had a stuck keyboard key or at least the software thought it was stuck.

The "visible" development will slow down a bit as I'd like to get the basic maemo support upstream on rockbox.org first. Also $dayjob starts again soon.

Yes, search is still a mess. I hope you run on the "cabbiev2" theme, the buttons should be yellow.

You can create a file named "database.ignore" in folders you don't want to index. Maybe we should add the ringtones folder by default

Ah, maybe you mean a long press ? I had tried all available keys before rebooting, and Home didn't invoke the task switcher. A long press does kill the app and return to the desktop though, so thanks :-)

thomasjfox,

~~fpp raises a good point: To get SDL apps' icons to show with the traditional taskswitcher on the N8x0s, you need to set the WMCLASS - http://wiki.maemo.org/Game_developme...Task_Navigator~~ Dunno if this is the case, actually...

Also, could you bind the N800's enter key to the center button in Rockbox, please?
xev returns the following for the button:

On the N900 if you select "show Track info" whilst a song is playing and then try and scroll down this screen this closes the application.

I love this player though, been using it all week and no plans to revert to the slow default media player anytime soon.

I second that one... I keep pressing it and wondering why nothing happens :-)

On a related note, I don't understand how to use the virtual keyboard with the N800. It's tiny but seems to work, keypad allows navigation but I haven't found a way to select the character I'm on and make it appear in the edit field below ?...

I guess this is all very early in the port state.... The above issues show keymap problems.
Rockbox has a keymapping that maps hardware keys of mp3 players to its functions, obviously for the n900 'app' mode these will need more tweaking

gosh I wish I had some time to fix these up right away
