The problem with doing this on the top level is that if you cut something ("dd"), you might not paste it at all (which means deleting it -- maybe not something you want to do that easily) or that you might paste it multiple times (these duplicates then would need to have their items duplicated as well).

Again, there is the context menu if you really want to reorder things for now. The MaePad codebase (based on Maemopad+) is quite confusing/bloated in some areas, especially the memo handling, as it grew out of the slightly different Maemo 4 UI, and some assumptions are not true anymore on Maemo 5.

Also, recent experience from MaePadWeb shows that implementing something from scratch in Python might be even easier (apart from the sketch widget which would have to be rewritten, but if we would rewrite that one, we could have it store data as SVG, which would be quite cool..). I personally only use checklists most of the time. Is rich text / sketch something that gets used a lot by MaePad users?

ERROR:dbus-gproxy.c:2269:dbus_g_proxy_marshal_args_to_message : code should not be reached

I have now checked which line in the code that causes the crash, maybe that can help you find the problem. Seems like it's possible Nokias closed source binaries that has the problem..

When pressing new file the program crashes when running this line of code in interface.c, function interface_file_chooser():

dialog = hildon_file_chooser_dialog_new(GTK_WINDOW(mainview->data->main_view), action);

Any ideas?

What's the value of "action" before executing that line? Maybe it's a bug in the hildon file chooser code? I assume mainview->data->main_view points to the correct window? Due to this being ported from Maemo 4 to Maemo 5, there might be values that are deprecated and cause the UI to crash. I assume the file chooser works for you in other areas of the system, right?

Problem solved! I don't know why though but some other guys solved it today in the tread for Xournal: http://forums.internettablettalk.com...&postcount=396

I didn't have any problems with Xournal though but as can be seen in the tread it's a little bit erratic..

Short story to fix this problem:
ERROR:dbus-gproxy.c:2269:dbus_g_proxy_marshal_args_to_message : code should not be reached

Uninstall the application "File Transfer".

Thanks for your quick response!

Great. Can you make the maintainer of the monorail package aware of this issue? Thanks

I confirm that uninstalling "File Transfer" will solve the problem of opening Maemopad

People had the same issue with my Xournal.
It seems that Monorail is the culprit .. do you have it installed?
Try removing it and see if MaePad runs.

Exactly, I think File Transfers uses Monorail.

ops, just read Wille_W message

Wille_W | # 190 | 2010-10-31, 20:17 | Report

I have sent an email to the maintanier of File Transfers, Jonny Lamb, just to make him aware of the problem. I gave him links to both this and the Xournal thread.
