To my understanding, there's no mouse-over event being handled by the buttons, unless you are using an alternate input device. Unless you are looking at the idea of doing a tap-hold on an icon, where that would show a tooltip - similar to the N97 and RIM Storm 1 models - in which case it makes some sense, but then it doesn't in that the icons would need to be designed to be simpler so that you could infer the meaning without text. |

There's a small confusion lately about the S60 version, I have already seen it in some blogs, but the S60 version that I think people mean is Wordmobi, a different application done by Marcelo Barrios. WordPy/MaStory hasn't a S60 version. Quote:
Python has the advantage to be a fast language to code, but it's slower running, and the most important isn't officially supported by Nokia. Qt in C++ will be the official framework in the future, and it has Qt Creator that is awesome. The change to Qt in the application won't happen before of 2010 end, so I think I have enough time to learn C++. Quote:
MaStory will use the system state, if you're connected it will be able to use network features, but if you aren't it won't be able, you can use offline fetures in any of the states (connected or not). Quote:

Perhaps I should change all them, and create a better ones (a new challenge for Joshua.maverick ;)) Quote:
If something isn't completely clear, it should be improved without to use tooltips. Quote:
IMHO it makes more sense in the toolbar on editing a post, but if you convince me, I can consider it. To save as a draft, you need go to "Publish Options" in the advanced screen (with the >> icon in toolbar). There will be a "Status" button to choose between the different options (publish, draft, private, pending). If you choose draft as status, the publish button will change its appearance. Quote:
Thanks for the feedback! |

The idea is sort of tied to the follow up feature request to cache and sync both posts and drafts. My thinking for the use case here is when you are traveling and the N900 becomes more of a WiFi tablet again due to roaming data costs, or when you are on a plane and can't go on-line I guess it would be quite some work to change the "posts list" to be more of a sync, rather than a fetch everytime. Quote:
From my inital experimentation, "Publish" is a bit to much of a drastic action to have as an icon (appologies, but as i have been "fiddling" intermitantly with settings I can't remember how things are as default). The second reason is that if both "Publish" and "Save as draft" were menu options, it fits more closely with the workflow as experienced via the regular blogging web UI, as I see it (both Blogger & Wordpress have icons around the Edit-Box but save and publish buttons) This may be a case where some form of tutorial helps, or as you say, getting clearer icons made :rolleyes: Either way, thanks for the tips. |
Re: WordPy 2.0
I tried out MaStory as well and thought I'll give you just shortly my feedback/ideas:
1.) I would also like to see an option to upload my blog post as a draft -> User case: I start writing on my way home, but want to finish my blog post back home on my computer (maybe it needs some more linking, formatting, ...) 2.) Also useful would be if I could edit the insert tags button. I hardly use some of the provided tags and would instead need other tags. Nice would be something like if you could push on the button longer and a window shows up, where you can edit the opening tag and the closing tag. 3.) Another thing useful would be, if the categories and tags get synced between blog and phone when you open the correspondant menu 4.) Maybe a different error message to tell you if you are not connected -> at the moment there is just a message saying that there was an error. (Maybe it's just me, but it happend already twice, that I wasn't connected) Of course nice would be, if the publish button changes to a save button, if the phone is not connected, and uploads the post later. Otherwise, thanks for this great application. I hope you'll continue working on it... Did a great job until now! |
Re: WordPy 2.0
Hey, thanks for the hard work, MaStory looks like a pretty sweet app.
just a quick feedback from my end if you dont mind: i just sent a bug report concerning the image attachment on a BLOGGER account; i keep getting an "Error Publishing" each time i try to publish a message including an image (local image taken with the device itself)... i tried first with a full res, then a resized version (thru MaStory), then a cropped version... works perfectly without image tho... another thing, somehow, i cant click-hold select text (like in any other text editing program)... maybe its just me, as i just got my n900 (used to be a n800 user), so i'm still tryin to figure things out, but it seems that i only get that with MaStory... great app anyway, keep up the good work :) peace nox |

So I use a workaround here, MaStory will use Picasa Web Albums to upload the images, and post it in Blogger. If you have never used Picasa, it will fail. I think it's the problem you are having here. To fix it, just go to http://picasaweb.google.com and log in with your google details, then Picasa will be activated. After that, try MaStory again. I know that it is a problem in MaStory documentation (lack of it). Unfortunately it's a very boring topic for me, so I postpone to write the documentation everyday (shame on me, I know). I would receive charmed any help in this topic. If after activate Picasa or if you have already activated it, and MaStory continues failing, try publish a post with an image and without closing the application, check the Log in the menu and send it to me (dyerga at gmail dot com), or copy it here.

In MaStory is important to be able to select text, so it uses a workaround, there is a checkbutton in the menu "Select text", if it is activated, you will be able to select text in the text entries, but you will not be able to scroll kinetically with the fingers (there will be a scrollbar though).
