Nope. I come here and check daily if you've squirted out a new release for the day.

And yeah, the text messaging screen still defaults to full screen but messages run off like they didn't before when typing.

History and text messaging displays run off the screen as well.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
One other thing that seems consistent outside of all the display issue weirdness... Ever since your QT release, it's been missing the mark on giving off an LED notification, upon a new message arrival, anywhere from I'd say 4 to at least 10% of the time if not higher.

No idea why it seems to flake out so often.

Mind trying out the attached notifier (just overwrite /opt/dialcentral/lib/alarm_notify.py or you can even run it manually) so I can see what it says?

I recently saw the dropped off message on the Messages Tab and had hoped to keep it to test what happened but I ended up needing to do a refresh and the lost messages came back.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
Looking at things it seems the cut off text is due to continued issues with the text running past the display limits. Sometimes Qt can be such a pain.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
Yeah, there are still a few times where it will wrap correctly, but your previous version was so much better than this current one.

I'll do your notify check right now. :)

Thank you Ed!

Addison 2011-02-22 04:13
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
Okay, I have overwritten your alarm_notify.py file, and turned it into an executable.

If I run this in Xterm
/opt/dialcentral/lib/alarm_notify.py
it delays for a few seconds then it takes me back to the command prompt.

No messages are given. :(

Which previous version are you referring to? A previous build of the Qt-based DC or GTK-based DC?

Life seems like ti was better with GTK. I've been doing a lot of experimentation. I've gotten it so the height always updates on changes for width. I'm seeing strange behavior where I resize the height of the window on the desktop and under certain situations it thinks the columns resized. I think this fake resize is causing it to have the wrong dimensions to calculate the height correctly.

It is recording it all to the notification log file like usual.

Addison 2011-02-22 04:23
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
I guess version 1.2.22 maybe?

I thought I had one more version before 1.2.28 but I'm not finding it as a download.

Anyway, that has been my favorite release so far. :)

I don't know Ed, how do I check for this?

I'm still getting LED notifications with your new alarm.py file, but again, it's not always fully reliable.

I think you're right on this Ed.

Same thing can be said with width as well.

I once typed several words outside of the text box thinking that it would continue like this, but eventually, it carried back over to the next line.

The end of the text window seemed to have been miscalculated somehow.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
Let me know when you've collected some samples for me to look at.

On the mean time I've pushed out a new release. I heard some reports of some missing deps, hopefully I've got them in now.

I've also resolved the height-for-width problem in my least favorite way, dropping the number of messages I show (the ends of messages might still be cut off).

Addison 2011-02-23 01:07
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
Thanks Ed!

Hopefully this whole new QT project of yours isn't heading downhill. :)

Addison 2011-02-24 00:30
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
Sorry Ed.

With this new latest release of yours, I'm going back to using your GtK version for awhile.

I love the look with it running under QT but I'm constantly having to use it with the Google Voice website to read full messages and I'm still not consistently receiving all notifications.



Poops. :(

The SMS Entry window doesn't work for reading messages?

Could you send me what log you have of notifications so I can see what is even going on?

Addison 2011-02-24 00:53
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
Okay. Sure.

Long messages are still cut short so I need to go to Google Voice to read them.

I haven't switched just yet so I'll send you whatever I have.

Please don't hate me. :)

You are right, the SMS entry screen's line wrap issues are a recent addition. When I escaped "<" to display in HTML I also accidently escaped spaces as non-break white space which means no new lines, oops.

The problem with rewriting an application from scratch is I get to reimplement all of the old bugs at once or entirely new ones!

Bring up text window.

Click inside chat window.

This then shows hildon keyboard.

Resize window to full screen.

After so many texts, what this does is show like the last two messages at the very top of the screen so you don't have to keep messing around with the scroll bar.

If you could reproduce this effect automatically for those who don't have a hardware keyboard, that would be awesome! :)
I have also went to gtk.

Oh and forgot to mention, the problem is within the data that I cache, you will need to do a refresh.

That button (on Maemo 4.1 without an icon) on the top right? I should put some fallback text in that spot for when I can't load an icon. Another dumb Qt thing, it didn't provide support for loading theme icons until recently, too recent for Maemo 4.1.

Addison 2011-02-24 14:26
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
Okay. That's the button I have always used.

Sorry. I thought I needed to do some kind of weird command line thingy in Xterm or something.

I really wish I could grow a brain for once. :)

Addison 2011-02-25 03:11
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
Hey Ed, when or if you find the time, perhaps one last quick build for your GtK version?

Instead of press and hold the Refresh button, maybe you could set it as a simple tap like you have it with your QT release?

Thanks? :)

Sorry, no more builds of the GTK version, just improvements to the Qt version to fix all of your issues with it.

Could you please specify what version of DialCentral you are running, what device you have, if you have gotten it to run before and if so with what version, etc.

Permission to swear excessively? *lol*

Yeah?

Okay.

Thanks!

Poops. :(

Ooh! One quick mention with the QT version.

Getting a message that's greater than 160 characters, it breaks it down where the second part of the message shows before the first.

No big whoop though.

Also, notifications are getting much better, but still, sometimes it flakes and forgets to give me one.

It's not as bad as it was before, or perhaps I've just been getting a little lucky lately.

So honestly, that's a no on a super simple easy tweak with you GTK version?

What if I promised to hug you and hold you and love you and pet you and keep you in a cage for ever and ever? http://http.cdnlayer.com/cf/images/s...nion/love2.gif

The format/text is easier to see and read. Some of the fonts are just too small, and it seems a lot more stable, I need an app that works. I understand your efforts, thanks.

Where did you find 0.9.5-0 and how did you install it? That version is very old and replaced many times over.

Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
I think I figured out why notifications have been acting so oddly. I had changed the approach I downloaded SMS/Voicemail which it looks like aren't actually coming back in any kind of order. Maybe tomorrow I'll get a fix for it.

Addison 2011-02-26 11:37
Re: Dialcentral 1.0
 
The way you have it now with only showing the last message for each person isn't really working well for me Ed.

Many of my friends post multiple texts to me so I usually end up having to double click on each message to make sure I didn't miss anything.

The reason for that is to reduce the amount of text being cut off since I can't seem to resolve that issue. Now at least an entire response won't be cut off.

I could get rid of the rich text formatting on that screen and it should work fine. What do you think?
