Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

Boxofsnoo,

1) yes tagging and organisation will emerge in the coming days and weeks, I've been thinking how to do it correctly and when I manage to do this it will come quickly.

2) templates exist already :) just open any pre-existing sketch and start editing it. I never ever ever overwrite existing sketch files. they are of vital importance to me and I am aiming to keep them all.
the only thing lacking at this precise moment is to actually hold inside each sketch the history.
I keep toying with a database to store these in, but the benefits it brings will cause negative effects in other future uses so I am torn (point 1 is related to this and is primary reason why i keep coming back to it)

3) Mmmmmmmmm bacon.


yes I build on the device and only now have added the most convoluted procedure possible to enable building packages (it involves bags of ssh, a vmware thingy, some copying shell magic and moving back).

I really need a proper machine to do this kind of stuff on, vmware fails miserably since I can barely use the mouse and the craptop fails simply because.




Now, about the rotation thingy I just said I was attempting, it appears as though the might be a bug lower down inside xv or somewhere in there *waves hands).
No matter what I try I cannot get XvShmPutImage to draw a fullsized frame when I am rotated 90 or 270 degrees. however I can get it working nicely at 480*480 (or anything lower than).
I;ve just had a discussion in irc with a few chaps and tried to make mplayer do the same and it just doesnt look possible for now.
I will re-investigate when I get the bug next time.

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

Nope. I ran it the way you asked, redirected to a log file. It spews everything to that file except for the error message, which gets printed (only) to the console. See attached screen cap.

Here's the one from the last try - it doesn't even get to my 'pictures' folder under MyDocs... If it's not meaningful enough I can change some things and try again.

Happy forensics :-)

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

try it without the redirect, there should be a lot more - i mistakenly thought all output would go to the file.

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

and then what do I do with the output ?...

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

fpp, sorry, my mistake.
I shall attempt to rectify this problem (its a colorspace issue when loading a jpeg) and let you try the next version.

I had disabled the overly extensive logging when loading the multitude of jpegs since I was having no issues.

I will reactivate this for future public releases :)
It should have been listing the filename and lots more diagnostic information as it went through.

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

Okay, no sweat :-)

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

About redirecting output to a file:
The above redirects stdout to logfile.txt and stderr to stdout (and thus also to logfile.txt)

If you want to capture everything to file and also to console, try this.

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

i would like to help a little bit, too. just testing, i can´t program very good.

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

zehjotkah,
I would welcome your input.
Whilst testing of the currently released deb is almost complete and a new version will be pushed in a few days, if you would like to install the current version and let me know how it goes and give your impressions that would be great :)

Just read the rest of the thread if you have anything you find just to check we aren't going over old ground.

Re: liqbase - call for assistance
 

As for code pieces completed based upon feedback:

Between myself Kotzcarny and crashanddie we are streamlining the development process and now have trunk and branch folders in the svn (as much as it throws my personal configuration out), and we are gearing up to the next major push.

restored the logging to areas where I had removed due to flooding myself over ssh. these areas are where I am loading custom images, and need to test and identify reasons for image loading failures.

added a few extra preferences around the place.

implemented the graffiti zooming correctly now and it responds to zoom +-

been preparing to centralize the style settings and have a plan for replacing the boxes with proper works of art :)

I have applied for a doofer to get this uploaded to extras-devel so it can be installable correctly.

So far, thanks a lot for your support guys and your feedback has been invaluable.
