Re: [Announce] Easily input Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters without killing your standby time or losing VKB with MSCIM Switcher status menu applet
 

This thread is the same as " http://freaxer.blogspot.com/2010/09/...-and-scim.html ", and it added some tips to switch with the “queen beecon widget”.


p.s. I am sorry that I thought you were Chinese, so post the chinese vocabulary of ”楼主威武“, it means "posting person is mighty". :( Forgive my broken English.

@Sunbeam: no I am not Chinese, but I am on my way to China in a few days by bicycle (started cycling from UK 10 months ago, and right now I'm in Thailand), so I am trying to learn 普痛话 (and N900 is wonderful for this, with MStarDict and MSCIM!)

And no problems with your English! :)

Interestng. I've been using MSCIM + Hangul since it first came out. I never had battery life issues. (and I have mine overclocked to 1.1Ghz as well. lol) Hmm. Mine will last 2-3 days if I use it only ~30mins a day. But yeah, this is cool still.

Are you saying that you think we shouldn't kill the Conversations windows when switching? And are you using the most recent version (v0.0.5-2)?

Did you find that Conversations windows freeze if they are not restarted?

If you install and run Powertop, you'll see that scim-panel-gtk wakes up the CPU very often, and prevents it from spending much time in the C4 (deep sleep) state.

If you've had no problems with battery life, then your battery life should be even better than before now.

@Xagoln
when I try you appliction, I find...You forget two depend :
python-hildondesktop
hildon-desktop-python-loader

those two package is depend by many status plugin so mass people have installed them, but I not.....

And, I have checked it work well with my MCIP input-method, so thanks.:)

Re: [Announce] Easily input Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters without killing your standby time or losing VKB with MSCIM Switcher status menu applet
 

Thanks foolegg, I have now added those two packages to the dependencies. I have not uploaded a new package yet, but will upload later today.

I havent tried the old version before, I just tried .52 version, I havent got conversations freezing, just I know is killall conversation will make the conversation always reload again when switching hildon and mscim mode.

Is it possible not to killall conversations that can make conversations not freeze? Conversation reload is a little bit unconvinence.

Re: [Announce] Easily input Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters without killing your standby time or losing VKB with MSCIM Switcher status menu applet
 

I've had an idea that could fix this.

If we separate 'suspending' the scim-panel-gtk process from switching input methods.

A new button would allow battery-saving on/off.

I will see if it works that way.
