Like I said before, it's weird that they chose it. My kernel is 3.10+, and look at what it says:


I mean.. it isn't so much of a problem if the format isn't finalised (assuming they are versioning it ;-) ), as migrating to btrfs is pretty straightforward. Still, I didn't have the courage to test it myself, but loads of people out there are using it.

I guess I'll start testing it with my Jolla [when it arrives]!

I was pleasantly surprised to see BtrFS in Jolla's Sailfish OS :)
Have been using* it since March of this year and it has been very stable (and sometimes useful).

* on openSuse 12.3 and now 13.1

Based on the two sets of UX questions I've asked in the Jolla UX thread (questions 1, questions 2) and their associated answers; here's what I'd like to see:

- contacts/people app that aggregates all of the events, media, comms log, social media of a person into one screen
- location supported in events - but also to be able to see a calendar view of all those location tagged items you might have done on your mobile
- a service like Nokia's Mobile Web Server or Samsung's Kies Air allowing you to log into your mobile from another device, deal with messaging, etc., update/delete apps, and even connect your Jolla to web services which might have an API, but not yet an app for SailfishOS

I started working on a Sailfish-style two-paned filemanager. The first version will hopefully be available by the end of the week.

Is SMSCON being ported to Sailfish? And Backupmenu?

Also, in addition to the apps I've mentioned in earlier posts of this thread, I'm wondering whether someone is working on an application to sort app shortcuts in folders. I hate when all icons are at the same level, it can become very quickly messy if you have a lot of applications. Relevant sorting becomes difficult, and you have to browse between 3-4 pages, which is not convenient.

It's not that GPS is unsupported, it's that it's "hit & miss" in terms of actually working, so it probably did work if that German page said it did.

I have done the initial porting of meegopas to sailfish.
It runs mostky fine:
- I didn't do much fixes for the UI
- there are some quirks especially with the maps
- It cannot be submitted to the store because it uses unsupported API.
- I disabled cycling since I don't use it and was too lazy to fix it.
- Packaging is crap

Code is here https://github.com/foolab/Meegopas
RPM is here https://build.merproject.org/package...ailfish%3Aapps

I don't plan to do more fixes but it'd be nice if someone could take over.

My Sailbox (dropN9 dropbox client port) is now available at store.

I have no idea what those things are but there's a nifty little thing called ssh that I use to do all that plus just about anything you can imagine, with just a few shell scripts...

Props to Jolla for trying out something this experimental in a retail device!

I've been experimenting with this under Harmattan - setting restore points at any time, being able to mount and even boot to see the FS as it was at the time of the snapshot!
