No, it's not the same - see towards the bottom of http://wiki.maemo.org/Extras for details about the various extras repositories. The linked pages contain details about how to set them up (pay attention to the warnings though).

You can use the new version without activating the extras-devel repository if you download the package from http://repository.maemo.org/extras-d..._0.3-2_all.deb and install it manually from x-term:
Code:

sudo gainroot
dpkg -i pedometerhomewidget_0.3-2_all.deb

That is a great application. I like it very much. However, as I like to keep it running all the time in the background, I forgot to stop it in the evening. My monday steps seemed to be added to tuesday. Suggestion: Is it possible to save and restart the counting at midnight if it is running?

Thanks for reporting this. I'll try to upload a new version that will fix this bug tomorrow.

To avoid such situations when the user forgets to stop the counter (running over the night is definitely a waste of energy) an option to schedule start/stop times might be added. How much do you think this would be worth implementing?

The scheduling sounds a nice option, if the user interface is kept as intuitive as it is now. Perhaps it should be voted.

I have been using this while walking on the school run for the last two weeks and am loving it. Top stuff! :)

thank you, although I'm being a complete wimp and too scared of the extras, and as for using x-term, oooh no!

Will wait a bit as I'm sure it will make it into the other catalogues!

I've promoted the new version to extras-testing.
Please test & vote: http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...ewidget/0.3-3/

Thanks!

Not sure if I'm the only one, but I can't seem to change the aspect settings to show anything other than current + total + graph. Did I miss something? I goto the settings click widget aspect, choose show only total, click okay..and nothing happens.

Same here. I set it using gconftool: gconftool -s -t int /apps/pedometerhomewidget/aspect <number; "current + total + graph" is 0 and the number is incremented by one as you go down the list of available aspects>
