Re: Updated GPE Beta
 
Hi all

Is there a place I can go to that gives a brief discription of the current GPE suite, it's detailed features and screen shots to show me whether this application suits my needs and how it looks on the NIT.

In the mcalendar thread someone said that there was an issue with time zones. I do not know the specifics.

This is the best resource that I know of
http://gpe.handhelds.org/documentation.phtml
There may be others of course. The screen shots are not of the NIT, possibly of a Zaurus.

There is one from a NIT of GPE Summery here

Sorry, can't help on the time zone question

I really like that:

- There's a version with the week starting on Sunday available in a standard repo

- GPE-Contacts can be uninstalled! I don't use it, and it irritated me to no end that I had to keep it to use Calendar and To-do.

Thanks!!

Those two locations are not very good. The maemo link does not have screen shots (except summary), and the zauras link is old and the screen shots are incorrect.

Also there is no list of features.

Thanks for the response though.

That is the best I could do, I was hoping it would prompt a response from someone better informed. Maybe still to come?

That would be nice. The IPAQ 210 is a real disappointment in terms of the things that are broken which HP refuses to fix. So I need a TX replacement.

Can someone (Graham?) confirm if command line parameters or dbus file open functionality exists for GPE Audio Player? I saw dbus support but only for focus events?

I was looking into adding support for this to dbus-switchboard but it doesnt appear to support either... would make a great light player for associations.

If neither are supported would it be possible to add simple command line option to load file (mp3 or pls?)

That way clicking on mp3 or pls in file manager or gpe file mananger could load gpe audio player if selected for those types.

Thanks

It seems like this latest gpesummary would occasionally reset my desktop. After downgrading back to the version in the /extras, my problem is gone.

I have the same problem lately (~1 desktop crash/3 days).
It's more complicated to pinpoint the problem for me as when this behaviour started I had installed more or less at the same time "advanced power", "omweather" and the latest GPE.

How often your desktop have been reseting?
Did this happen while the CPU load was high? (I've noticed this was the case for mine a couple of times).

Thanks,
