Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)
 

Nikolai,

Thanks for your great work on ProfilesX and Calendar widget - using them both and am very happy with them.
If you are considering some other features/application suggestions, I'd like to request profile-changer that's based on calendar events.
I really miss this feature from Symbian, where nearly every profile changer had this implemented. And since you're now familiar with both calendar and profiles API, I can't think of person that would do this better.
Don't know how this feature is usually implemented, but the simplest I can think of is:
1) Write a daemon/utility that starts once/twice/[some times] a day and on startup.
2) The daemon would find all calendar events (for the following day) that contain provided strings and grab their start/end time
3) Schedule profile change event to provided profile at event start time
4) Optional - save active profile somewhere
5) Schedule profile change event to default profile (or previously saved active profile) at event end time.

This can also be implemented as a feature for your calendar widget. It shows forthcoming events successfully - so you've got point 1) implemented already.

Implementing such feature would give profilesX much better chances in the competition with tweakr =)

Hi Nicolai,

I use this app as well and am very grateful to your amazing work as my life would've been such a pain without customizable profiles... :)

One quick question though (that I couldn't find in the thread) - is it possible to hide/remove the standard 2 profiles? Since I get both of them on the short power press drop down menu, sometimes it can be a bit confusing...

Many thanks in advance!

Glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. :)

In fact, the inspiration for http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=56101 comes from your World Clock applet.

Anyway, minor bug:

Original CPA:

Your CPA:

As you can see, a long filename pushes the sliders out.

What the original CPA will do is g_strndup it before setting the HildonButton's value label. Alternatively, http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-fi...Area--mov-mode but that's rather clunky...

It's a shame that HildonButton won't allow access to its labels, as I think gtk_label_set_ellipsize is awesome...

Best regards,
Faheem

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)
 

New version 0.7 in extras-devel.
Applied some patches from qwerty12 to fix this bug with
long filenames. And some more UI enhancements to let
the app look more like the original one.

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)
 

I had two tiny issues with ProfilesX

1. I just tried Custom Ringtones but after I change profile, two ringtones (from profilesX and Custom Ringtones) would be trigger when receiving a call

2. so I uninstalled both, but the ProfilesX option would still show when I open Settings (will disappear 1-2 secs later)

thanks.

Hi,

I don't know how "custom ringtones" work, but with profilesx you
can add extra profiles, maybe custom ringtones require to
have only the built-in profiles.

The controlpanel app makes a screenshot and shows this while
loading the control panel plugins. To update this screenshot, you can delete it
and the controlpanel app will create a new one.

Thanks.

I've also reported it to Custom Ringtones ...
where I hope something could be worked out :)

Re: [Announce] ProfilesX (more profiles)
 

I know to about the problem with "Custom ringtones for your contacts" and here I opened this thread and sent the mail to creator, but for now is no answer... Meanwhile I removed this application because I miss the calls...
