Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 
yes, but can't tell exactly when
the popup will be definitely corrected
I'm not sure about the scrollbars,
I need some more feedback, mainly about bugs.
No offense Addison, but I'm not highly motivated to update it when I see that there is only 1 interested user.
------------------------------------------------------
I need your opinion about a feature (any user, not just Addison):
what about making the TOC tab appear on top of the browser (so that the browser window dosent get resized everytime you enable/disable the left side tab)

-------------------------------------------------------
Anyway.., I was thinking about making kchmviewer a good ebook reader for maemo, and writing a converter to chm format for other ebook formats (html converter already exists, so this shouldn't be very hard)
What do you think ?

Not sure where that left field idea came from but do you really think that's worth the trouble?

I think it's great the way it is already.

I'm not finding any bugs. The only one I guess I could mention is when you click on a new chapter it clears the right side of the screen. I wait thinking that it's loading up the page but nothing happens. So,I guess you need to double click in it.

A converter would be awesome but I'm not expecting that from you. I personally can manage without one. :)

Been using this practically every day. Only once did I get some weird crash but it resolved itself within 5 minutes.

I understand about you being lazy and all, I totally respect that! :)

It still would be nice if you could remove the unnecessay pop up when autoscrolling.

All that other nonsense about invisible scroll bars and stuff probably wouldn't be worth it for you to program.

Can't believe this thread doesn't have like a 1,000 posts. Obviously people here are booger eating *****s. :)

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 
remember, people are not buying Nokia tablets to read chm files :D (even if it could be a good idea)
Besides, most users will find easy debian's applications largely enough for this purpose.

Anyway, I was hoping for some feedback to get a last version out, but ...

I hope I can get a new version out by this week (I know, a procrastinator), I'm so lazy that I cant even convince myself to get my top features done (force fit-to-width and better implement d-pad navigation)

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 
Awesome to hear that you'll be chucking out one last version!

Thank you! :D

Pop quiz, karatchov.

Guess who's been waiting for another update? :)

Re: kchmviewer for Mameo
 
Hey karatchov!

Any closer to building and releasing one last final version?

I had to ask, you know how it is. :)

Also, are you about half way through psych by now? How are you liking it so far?

Crazies are fun, yeah? :D

I'm really sorry, I know the change shouldn't take any time.
I'll be looking at it next week. mainly because I have an important exam next monday....

As for psychiatry, I'm already out, it's just 1 month :( , but it was fun

Nothing to be sorry about, well, except for breaking your initial promise, not responding earlier, and making me wait daily on false claims and hopes. Other than that, yeah, you're fine. :)

Oh, and a little tip for you about the upcoming exam on Monday, don't do what I did which was cheat off the guy sitting next to me.

I swear, if only he would have applied himself, I could have been somebody. *lol*

KCHMviewer
 
Is there anybody out there who is interested in porting Karatchovs KCHMViewer to maemo5/n900.
Karatchov himself doesn't have anytime anymore to modify it.
Source code is availabe in Github.
http://github.com/karatchov/kchmviewer-for-Maemo/tree
If I could program I would do it myself, but my programming skills only include some basic and OPL (psion).

I really need a proper CHM viewer and unfortunately fbreader is not sufficient enough.
