Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

Same exact version as me., so that's not the cause of us seeing different behaviour.

I've checked and there is no line break, or space, after the list, both in the original and my modified version.

I used "vi" to edit. Did you use this or some other editor that may have "helped" by adding a line break for you?

Could you have added words to the dictionary of one of the languages that is now disabled? What happens if you restore the original and then remove just one language? If it works try removing one language at a time until you find which one makes things fail.

I see from your earlier post that your second language is US-english. I've been using norwegian and UK english. Maybe US has some kind of dependency to UK, what happens if you keep both?

Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

According to swype.com, selecting languages is a feature in swype 3.26, currently in beta. So I guess it's a missing feature, and if the version we get is updated one this is out of beta then this hack won't be nessessary. Not a bug per se.

Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

I tried all combinations of line break and space (and lack thereof) - I used nano, because I can't find vi in the repositories (which surprised me).

There's only words added in German and English US - as that one works once it's not last in the list it must be something else. Dependency: Unlikely - when I had German, US English and UK English, US all of a sudden worked but UK showed the error because it was last in list.

I guess I'll have to live with the long press and list selection to change language for now, will try again with PR1.2 (and maybe throw in a factory reset while I'm at it).

Thanks for all your help :-)

Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

Thanks, this is exactly what I've been missing as I constantly have to switch between two languages.

Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

Good news. I have now reproduced the problem: By copying the original language file into place, and then editing with nano I get the error. If you edit with vi you should be good.

vi has to be part of either developer mode, or the Utilities package you can install after activating developer mode. (Otherwise it's a mystery where I got it from, bacause I haven't installed anything else that could account for it)

Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

I can confirm, nano is quilty, or atleast after editing with vi, no database errors occur anymore....

Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

That sounds very strange!
Why should nano break something?
I use it all the time on my PC, N900 and also N9 to edit config files and never had any issue.

OT:
Is there a way to remove entries from the dictionary I occidentally added?

Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

Vaskinn, you're right on both - I have a working 2 languages setup now - and even better, I have my beloved vi (actually I had it all along, but hadn't seen it listed in the utilities package). Thanks so much :-)

Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

I can think of a few ways.

Maybe nano saves in a different format ("plain" text files are nowhere near as plain as you'd think) and swype is being picky because we're not really supposed to edit that file. (I'd have to examine the files in a hex editor to see)

Or perhaps instead of saving over the contents of the existing file nano does a "delete-create" when saving, losing a file system attribute or something similar in the process.

(my money is on encoding, linefeeds or byte order mark)

Edit:
And the winner is linefeed. Added by nano without asking.

Re: Howto: Limit swype to the languages you use
 

Do you mean the line feed at the end of the line?
Most linux programs actually give out a warning if the config file misses an empty line at its end. i.e. fstab (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-fstab-241806/)
Because of that I am very used to end a config file with an ending line.
Now, we could argue if it is right from nano to add one without asking, but it seems to be usual (http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/he.../msg00009.html).
I wouldnt see it really as a bug in nano but more as a Swype being too picky!
