Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

I also have no problems now :cool:. After some poking around I discovered that installing the 'git' package did not also install the required 'git-core'. I manually installed 'git-core' & now it works fine.

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

The new version is here !

Here is the commit message as visible on github :

GRead fully rewritten (Except ui which is exactly the same) :

Important things :

• the engine can manage many accounts (not used in the ui !)
• not a lot of works for the engine to work with something else than libgreader (we can imagine an account with rss feeds managed locally)
• better operation system with many spools (content, action...) and each with many threads
• better management of network latencies
• pseudo-offline capabilities : sync must be done online and then the application can be used offline (unread items are loaded, 100 by label or by feed without labels)
• can handle feeds which are not labelled
• many view rendering could be created, currently only one "maemo5", an hybrid renderer which works on linux too (or other system with QT)

Future :

• add more shortcuts
• save some settings per feed (default show unread/all)
• load images in background
• handle real offline mode, with local storage (actually all content is in memory)
• fully rewrite the ui to have a really beautiful one (just saw the NewsRack application for iphone... WOW !)
• manage multi-accounts in the ui
• and so on :)

Good job, testing right away...

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

Well, unfortunately that was very quick :

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

I got the same error.... maybe now we will find out why the zoom wasnt working before.

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

I really don't understand why because it work's fine for me !!
I can easily bypass the error but don't know how to make theses buttons work for you...
I'll make a new update this evening with a patch for this, and better orientation support (and i'll add a few keyboard shortcuts)

Thanks for the report !

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

No problem... right now I prefer a working GReader without the keys (like the previous) one... than the opposite :-)

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

It will :) I just cannot work on it right now. And i will add a write on stderr for the exception raised when the zoomkeys cannot be loaded, then you could tell me more :)

PS : It's "GRead" :)

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

Ooops sorry :-)

Do you hope to get rich with this ? It sounds like "Greed" :-)

Re: [Announce] GRead : yet another Google Reader application... (PyQt)
 

Greed is the name of a Google Reader application for Android :)

I updated the application on Github.

The main thing is that now there is no more "auto-rotation" feature. For two reasons :

• the auto-rotation is too "sensitive" (what's the correct english word for the french "sensible" in this context?)
• keep portrait-mode between windows in multi-stacked-windows application is too hacky, i made a ugly hack for this to work in the previous version but were was some bad glitches.

So it's removed BUT in each window you have two buttons in the menu "landscape" or "portrait". You can choose the default one in the settings

For the "ZOOMKEYS" problem, the bug must be corrected and then you have an error displayed in the terminal when GRead is not able to load the zoomkeys.so

Search for "ZOOMKEYS ERROR" on your terminal (i suggest you to wait after the sync is done because a lot of information are displayed on the terminal during the sync !)

If you can copy/paste here the ZOOMEKEYS ERROR line, it will be helpfull
