I'm sorry, I just changed mine last night and thought I remembered exactly where it was. It's under the main settings.

Under:
Driver and car
Reminders
Units
Then Unit system, select US.

If you are using the N900 version, here is a screenshot from the Settings dialog which is available from the main menu:

When you open the settings, you'll need to scroll down a little bit to find the Unit system selection (it is not shown in the screenshot either)

I am very pleased with the response Fuelpad has got on N900. Over 400 downloads in about three days is quite a bit more than the versions for N8x0 ever got. Each new N8x0 version got between 100 and 200 downloads during the first few weeks (the total on the Downloads page is now over 2000).

Since I think that the Downloads page is not really meant for discussion, I'll try to answer some of the questions and comments here:

Isn't this exactly how it works: fill the overall distance and tap the next field (any other) and Fuelpad automatically calculates the distance from the previous fill (the trip)? I have also implemented the vice versa: enter the trip and the overall distance is calculated. This feature will be available in the near future.

The database file was moved from /home/user/MyDocs/ on purpose since the sqlite based database could be corrupted when a USB connection to a PC is made. This decision was discussed in this thread earlier. A future version will probably include an improved import/export functionality which will allow to copy the database to MyDocs. Until then you will have to use XTerminal or some other way to copy the database file for backup purposes or whatever needs you have.

At first I thought that this would be completely out of reach but after seeing the PhotoTranslator app, I like the idea a lot. What we need is a widget which takes a photo, does the ocr and enters the data into the entry. This could be quite a general widget and useful for many applications. Anyone?

Hi jlu,

I've noticed that if you move the db from the settings it is not updated in its osso-backup entry.
Consecutive backups will miss the db.

thanks

Hi Christos,

Which version of Fuelpad you have? Since the database open button has been removed since fremantle6.

Interesting app. A sync to spritmonitor I'd like very well!

ΟΚ. I have been playing for some time now with translating one more localisation and have blocked all updates. So basically the other day I voted for an older version

I'm happily now to 0.82-fremantle9 and its great. I have the impression you have improved a lot the statistics part. Maybe its also old news..

Thanks and sorry for the false alarm.

I have just implemented saving the sort order and column and it will be available in a future release. It is not yet included in 0.82-fremantle9, though.
