Yes, she is a star and does great work.

Some mcip user feedback this problem, after they uninstall mscim. N900 cannot boot.

then I read you changelog, found :

and read "either" to "neither".......some I get a wrong result...

sorry for my careless.

Oh dear, that is very unfortunate and please pass my apologies to the user. I suppose that would be possible with no SCIM. Was the user using the 'scim' package instead of 'mscim'? Because the dependency on 'mscim' existed from the very first release. I added the alternative of 'scim' only in v0.0.5.

I could add the below code to the startup script for mscimswitcherstatus and make it run only if SCIM is not found, but it should be impossible now with the dependency on ( scim | mscim ).

No problem! Thanks for the feedback.

I have been experimenting with uninstalling and reinstalling the package over the last few days, to ensure the process is clean and safe.

I strongly recommend all users upgrade to the current build (there are no new features, just better safeguards in the install/uninstall scripts).

If you have the extras-devel repository enabled, the recommended way to upgrade is using the Application Manager. Simply Update, then Download and search for mscim, select 'mscimswitcherstatus' and install.

Or, from X Terminal (as root):

Otherwise, use the package attached to the first post of this thread.

I was thinking I could add an option to set Conversations to always use MSCIM. That would mean we would never need to kill Conversations windows when switching between Hildon/MSCIM for the rest of the system.

Would anyone be interested in this feature, if I can make it work?

EDIT: Actually, this would not work with the battery-saving feature, so would only be the same as the default settings ("Don't suspend SCIM" and "Don't kill RTCOM/Conversations")

So, please ignore me! :)

Agree!!!!!!!!!!

Re: [Announce] Easily input Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters without killing your standby time or losing VKB with MSCIM Switcher status menu applet
 

btw, just installed this and I can happily say it works as it should. =)
Now I can easily switch between MSCIM and Hildon for vkb. Great stuff.

Hi All, if I want to input in chinese, do I have to install mscim first? Or I just install the file that already in post 1, no need mscim?

Pls help, what should I install first?
I really need to input chinese on my n900.

Thanks before

Re: [Announce] Easily input Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters without killing your standby time or losing VKB with MSCIM Switcher status menu applet
 

You need to install mscim first, this is just a switcher tool to allow one to switch between hildon and mscim inputs.

Re: [Announce] Easily input Chinese/Japanese/Korean characters without killing your standby time or losing VKB with MSCIM Switcher status menu applet
