I hope that the description is good enough ;)

Re: [Announce] KFZcheck - the license plate finder in your pocket
 

I think KFZCheck is a useful application, but it keeps crashing on me every time i start typing to search for a shortcut.
I already tried reinstalling but that did not help.

When i start from terminal with i get two Gtkwarnings. As soon as i start to type it crashes caused by an invalid pointer.
and a lot more backtrace and memory map output.

Any suggestions?

Hello Duke,

i know the problem. It's perhaps a bug in gtk itself. After fixing the crashing a other problem with the input exists. At time i looking into pyqt and search for a new solution.

The problem is new and exists since the PR1.2 update.

with kind regards

A new Version is now available in extras-devel. It's a complety rewrite in Qt, but with the same gui. I hope you like it.

After kfzcheck, a new package => kfzcheck-extras was released.

It should extend the lists in kfzcheck itself. kfzcheck has only license plates for a few countys included. kfzcheck-extras includes till now:

• E-Numbers - ingredients in foods
• Molkereien_de - german dairy companys with name out of a number
• ISO codes - german version
• Top level domains
• IATA airport codes

The new lists can be found in the normal kfzcheck dialog for changing the country.

I hope anybody can use and like it :) I'm open for new ideas and lists, please help me :D

with kind regards

Thanks for Your good work! The extras are very useful.

Re: [Announce] KFZcheck - the license plate finder in your pocket
 

After a long delay with the switch to Qt i think it's time to promote it to extras. Please vote for the applications kfzcheck and kfzcheck-extras :)

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...-extras/0.2-0/


Thanks to all contributors :) Please help me in the future, too, to add new lists, find bugs, improve it with new ideas and of course use it :)

Any chance this might become useful to North American people? :p
Other than that, great work on a very original app :)

Re: [Announce] KFZcheck - the license plate finder in your pocket
 

When you send me a list with license plates, i will integrate it :)

I don't think it would be useful in USA or Canada, where every state/province makes up its own rules and in general there's no correlation between the number and any geographic area. I don't know about Mexico license plates.

Check out wikipedia for more detail:
