Wow now that's an interesting one, never thought of that... a bit like the ol' Timex "beep beep" on the hour, or as you said, bell chime from a grandfather clock... Hmmm, I'll add it to the to-do list; no promises about getting it into the first official release, but should be able to get it in there at some point so just be patient please ;-)

Nilchalk I assume the AM/PM indicator doesn't change either correct? This was a bug that I corrected as soon as it got mentioned, but I don't recall if it made it into the "updated preview package" or if it was after that... I've got a bit more work I want to do before letting out the next round preview, but if you've got AM/PM working and the digit is still wrong let me know as that's definitely a problem that I haven't seen yet...

That's a problem, because the issue I mentioned above is only a graphics refresh problem (the first "1" from "12:59" didn't get erased, so you ended up with "11:01" at 1am, etc). If you set just one alarm for 6:00am does the alarm icon appear in the status bar? Try setting an alarm for a different time also and see if that works? Please let me know!


Qole, thanks for moving it over to your repo so that the packages get pulled in automatically! I'm still trying to figure out how on earth to get this thing into extras-devel (do I need to make an extra build rule for creating the package so that the autobuilder will put files in the proper places? or does that just get handled by the install rule and the autobuilder figures the rest out?... I have to sit down and figure it out...) but at the moment I got a little caught up trying to cram a few more goodies into the app itself before I go back to paying attention to packaging!

lemmyslender, thanks for the positive feedback! As for a desktop widget, it's a possibility down the road (I know Ciro originally had one for the N97), but for now focus remains on the app itself. The next big longterm step would be to implement a proper statusbar icon for Flip itself rather than just the build in alarm one (so that you could click it to see when the next flip alarm was actually scheduled for), but that's a ways off still...

Thanks for all the feedback guys! Unfortunately I'm obviously doing something wrong as a maemo developer, hardware developer and 3 year active TMO/ITT guy because my Karma is nowhere near close enough to be eligable for the N900 developer program... so anyone who's looking for N900 compatibility is going to have to give me a hand with the support work there...

I'll try to get the Fermantle SDK installed somewhere over the weekend though to see if I can figure out why it's crashing... If you run it from xterm does it give you any output before it crashes? (there's a whole bunch of debugging messages that I still have in there)
