Yessireee it is working.... thanks.

And v1.6-2 is uploaded. I promoted this version to extras-testing, ...please consider detailed testing and voting afterwards.


http://wiki.maemo.org/Help_testing_software


Changes in v1.6-2:
* bugfix: update a changed syntax in the configuration file
* detect short intermediate connections for "stop server when not connected" when display is blanked (tracking interval is once per minute)
* configuration window: added button to the main menu to show sections in reverse order (show server options first)

The package is now optified. Although it isn't that large this is the better choice.

v1.6-4 is uploaded and promoted to Extras-testing.


Changes in v1.6-4:
* fixed typo in postinstall script: it didn't comment out ForceCommand

Changes in v1.6-3:
* optified package
* added required hint that keeping off wifi pm increases power consumption significantly

Did anyone else notice the button showing "off" occasionally while the icon was showing "on" (i.e. colored)?

Here's v1.6-6, available in extras-devel.

Hints:
When updating...
1. the server daemon switches to off.
2. wifi power managment settings are overwritten to default values and can be readjusted in the options dialog ("OSW Options").


Changes in v1.6-6:
* added mimimize button to about dialog

Changes in v1.6-5:
* fixed occasional label 'off'
* keep wifi-pm settings on future updates
* restart server daemon if running instead of stopping it on future updates

Big update

This new version 2.0.0 has everything you need

• New button (see attachment) for faster login and wifi power management control
  
  There's now a second button right to the main button. It shows the status of wifi pm settings:
  - white flash: don't keep off
  - yellow flash: keep off when connected
  - yellow and white flash: toggle mode
  
  A short tap keeps wifi pm off for 30 seconds. This solves login problems caused by wifi pm (I often had to reconnect wlan before being able to login).
  
  A long tap opens wifi pm settings in a dialog window. It is no more necessary to open the settings window ("osw options") for changes or control. But if it's already open it will be syncronized with the dialog window. Changes there are visible in the settings window instantly.
  
  If you don't need this feature the button can be removed by unchecking the relevant checkbox in settings.
  
  
• No more restarting the status menu
  
  All changes in the settings window take effect immediately now. This makes playing around with all options to find out what fits quite easy.
  
  
• Bugfixes/Improvements
  
  - Keeping off wifi pm is now working user independently. It will work until the last user logs out. So far it only had worked until the first user who logged in logged out again (I realized that lately).
  
  - Detection of active connections and server status is improved, especially on start or restart of the status menu.
  

Regarding uploads it seems moving files to autobuilder queue currently doesn't work. I tried it last night and a few hours ago. The upload won't show up. Therefore version 2.0.0-rc1 is attached.

Uploads work again, v2.0-0 is in Extras-devel and promoted to Extras-testing.

Additionally to v2.0.0-rc1 from the last post I added a settings button to the dialog window. Everything can be accessed from the widget itself now.

Here's the complete changelog for v2.0-0:
* added feature for faster login and easy access to pm: new button to keep wifi-pm off for 30 sec; long tap opens pm settings
* No more restarting of the status menu necessary; all changes take effect immediately!
* changed start routine to catch proper server state when status menu starts (another workaround for occasional server off-times)
* fixed detection of connections: the proper number should now be displayed in any case of brute force operation
* "keep wifi-pm off when connected" is now user independent: it keeps working until the last user logs out
* added optional settings button in dialog window

Great stuff, much appreciated - really!

Nice, thank you very much For Coding competition?

I remember there's some time to have a closer look . The logo to the right is so very well designed.

This new settings button led to a bugfix... because the dialog window can now be shown even when the server is off the restart button might be used:

Change in v2.0-1:
* "new settings button" bugfix: when server was off the newly accessible restart button led to unexpected result
