Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

My choices are:

• Display asterisks instead of the characters actually entered.
• Display characters as they are entered while editing otherwise display asterisks.

I like Maemo partial display-on-edit because on a small keyboard or OSK I am more likely to have typos and not know it.

I thought Qt's display-on-edit was going to be like Maemo but learned it is all-or-nothing (which is very bad when demonstrating software.

Thanks for the reminder, I should change this.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

My problem cleared up by reinstalling mnotify.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Texts still don't display correctly Edward, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Like the 6 I sent you, only the third & forth ones displayed, and the forth one ran off the screen.

I hope you can find a fix. :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

@epage - when my screen is not maximized I loose any incomming text that is longer than 50 characters. If there was an option to enable "maximum screen" on startup then it would display about 58.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

You are referring to the messages tab contents?

Also, did I forget to get fullscreen settings persisted?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Yes, when viewing "messages" tab.
Also, yes, I cannot get it to stay at fullscreen at startup.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I was about the post the following:

There does not seem to be a fix. The issue some something called height-for-width. I'm requesting something very wide (no wrapping) but not very tall. Qt says no on the width but doesn't compensate on the height at all, cutting things off. I'm just dropping down to 1 message line and letting that get cut off.

But then I found out an interesting round about way to solve it that is still fairly clean. It definitely looks better now :)

I think that is the same thing Addison has been complaining about and should be fixed in the next build.

Weird, on my desktop and n810 I can use fullscreen just fine. I doubt it but maybe an error is cropping in, preventing it. Log?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

The latest 1.2.12 build of Dialcentral crashes upon starting on my N900. Previous builds were working fine.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

It's a bust for the Diablo version as well.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Another one of those "How in the world did I not see this myself" issues. I had already fixed it but didn't push out a new build because "no one should see it". Oh well.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Sorry for grabbing it so quickly Ed.

I honestly don't mean to stay right on top of you like I'm doing. :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Installed version 1.2.13. Has word wrap! Excellent! Thanks, Edward!

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I haven't used this for a while but is there no landscape mode any more? The icons on the left side also seem to be in "reverse landscape" direction.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

"no landscape mode"? Do you mean no portrait mode which auto-rotation was put into the last GTK build which not everyone had a chance to run?

The icon orientation is something controlled by Qt. I'm not a fan of it.

I have started experimenting with being able to change the layout (Ctrl+o will re-layout which right now only changes where the tabs are located so if you are on something like an n8x0 which can force portrait mode, enjoy) but the Qt bindings I use doesn't seem to expose orientation. I have plans to switch over to the new bindings (actually make it auto-detect to maintain Maemo 4.1 support)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I don't know what's wrong with mine but on my phone, after the latest upgrade, DC always defaults to portrait mode. I have looked around but couldn't find a setting option for this.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Wow, looks like I did get manual rotation working and I've got some logic reversed. Use Ctrl+o to reverse it, but then it puts tabs in the wrong location. I'll get a build out tonight that fixes this.

Or that I left in more problems than expected when I made last nights build. There are several problems I'm going to need to fix.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Did the screen shot I gave you in a PM help you at all Edward?

That occurred when I tried to reply back to a message and it wouldn't let me.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

So I just did a couple of builds that dealt with removing some recent bugs and improving rotation support. Except for the fact that the SMS window doesn't automatically switch to landscape when the keyboard pops out, I'm actually finding portrait mode pretty slick and will probably use it exclusively.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Oh wow!

Version 1.2.16 is tops dude! http://http.cdnlayer.com/cf/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif

I threw a ton of junk at it and DC handled it all correctly.

Thank you Edward! :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Nice work, very nice!

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Installed version 1.2.16. Solid!

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Hi Ed!

Hey, a simple feature request...

Since you can't hold down the escape key to close this application anymore, could you have it so that this key will refresh messages?

Otherwise, as it is now, the escape key is dead and useless so it could be used for something. :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I didn't know the escape key did anything, huh.

Not liking the refresh buttons within the UI?

I don't know if I'll get to this compared in light of my other tasks, but file an enhancement request so I don't lose track of this.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

With your older version, holding the escape key would close the application.

In your QT release, it no longer does this.

So yeah, having a simple hardware key to refresh would be a nice treat.

Also, it would be great if you could add icons for DC as well.

I did run into a horrible bug today.

I'm not sure if I can reproduce it though.

I went to Tools->Accounts and tried to change the notification settings.

It didn't bring that window up for some reason.

Nothing at all after that was there a way for me to be able to kill DC. A reboot didn't even do the trick.

Finally it took like a 3rd reboot to be able to get DC back to normal.

Not sure what happened during all of that.

Anyway, would you ever consider playing a chosen audio file for notifications as well?

Other than that, I think this version is perfect in so many ways.

Thank you so very much for releasing this Edward. :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I'm still curious what is the use case for a hardware refresh button over the touch one?

Feel free to file a request as I think I already said but I don't know where this will end up lying in priority.

This is partly me being lazy and purely relying on a Qt feature not available on Maemo 4.1 to load system icons. Feel free to file it but I'm not sure where this would lend up being prioritized.

Please provide a log file, hopefully I'll be able to see something there.

This is one of those things that back when I had notification support I provided a mechanism for custom notifiers and provided example code for sound notifications and said it was unofficially supported. I think that will continue to be the case.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Nice progress.

The size of the fonts for the time stamp in the call log is so small is it possible to get them to be half the size of the fonts for the names in the list? Thanks.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

As posted before having the hardware key to close the app was a great feature in the last version.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

I usually carry my tablet with my left hand, so just clicking on a single hardware key to refresh the messages would be really nice.

Please consider this Edward. :)

And yeah, I filed a request feature thingy for this.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

With the newest DialCenter, I can not login in. The issue comes down to

File "/opt/dialcentral/lib/backends/gvoice/gvoice.py", line 40, in <module>
from xml.sax import saxutils
ImportError: No module named sax

Can anyone know where I can get the python2.5-xml package?

thanks

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Could you clarify what you mean by latest? And any guesses as to what the previous version you were running was? You've only installed through the Application Manager? n8x0 or n900?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Have the problem fixed.
My device: N810
DialCentral:1.2.18.
I do not know why python2.5-xml is not in my device. Maybe I removed it when my / is full. I get it installed by running "apt-get install python2.5-xml". After this, I can login in successfully.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

It is still a problem in general that I seem to be missing a dependency. Were you before using the GTK version of DC?

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

No, This is the first time I use DC.
By the way, why do I need a call back number? Can I just use it to make out-bound call like Skype? Skype does not need a callback number.

thanks

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

DialCentral is a Google Voice client and operates like the website. On the GV website you need to specify what phone you will make the call on. The same is true for DC.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Question about the updated DC for the N900 where is the exit button? I am using TOR mainly but there are times when DC is handy, but the last couple of updates have eliminated an exit button or a minimize button or am I missing something?

Again great work keep it up!

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

So a bug at some point in all of my mini-releases might have gotten fullscreen/windowed mixed up. The way to drop out of fullscreen is Ctrl+Enter.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

DialCentral:1.2.19 will crash if you go to Menu->Tools->About

Only way I found to then kill the app is with
killall kill hildon-desktop

Any possible consideration into implementing the hardware escape key to refresh messages Ed? :)

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

When sending a new text, I'm getting a can't send attribute error. :(

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Nuts.

Same error when responding back to a text as well.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 

Really? That is strange as it works fine on mine. Log?

I don't think I've seen an enhancement request come in that I've asked for. I have to prioritize and balance my work between my various projects (and potential future projects).

Have a guess what I'll ask for? I'll give you a hint, it is a homonym of log.
