Actually, my benchmark is the Price/km column. Below 0,10 is okay (even if it hurts). The maths is quickly done: Price * 10 < Trip?

I didn't follow the consumption / economy discussion - never saw it discussed to be honest. As long as I remember it was fuel consumption (super trump card games - anyone?). As in the US two different units are used (miles and gallons), my math never crossed the Atlantic.

Many of the mileage programs I used before do have the options to choose between km/l and l/100km. It's great if you are able to include this in the next update. Otherwise, it's not a big deal, it's a great program as it is. Thanks.

I'll certainly consider adding km/l but it is not as straight forward as it might sound due to some design decisions I have made. But everything is possible, just takes a little more effort.

I have only 19 years of driving experience and I have had my own car about 17 years. I also remember my father always keeping track of the fuel consumption before my own tracking. I never heard anyone using km/l, always l/100 km. And we always used the term fuel consumption (in Finnish, of course), not fuel economy or something similar to mileage.

jlu,

I built fuelpad binary on Ubuntu (on x86) and with some changes to debian/rules, I was able to build a package as well that installs (not cleanly) on Ubuntu Intrepid and works as well. There are lintian errors but I can clean those up. The package tries to add fuelpad to maemo menu which obviously does not exist on Ubuntu. With some tweaking, it should be possible to build a clean Ubuntu and Debian package for fuelpad if you are interested. I can upload the package to Debian as well since I am a Debian developer.

Hi khalid,

I am very much interested! I use Ubuntu (64 bit) myself and during the development I have actually run fuelpad on it. Can I contact you by e-mail a little later (I am a bit in a hurry now)?

In File manager, this is the root directory.

Before I'll have the time to fix this, please do not edit reminders with version 0.80 (0.70 and before work)!

jlu,

I had a problem with my database. I'm running 0.82, so I am not sure if it is because I added a reminder, or because I had to fsck after an error on my external SD card (I was copying a movie to the NIT and it reset in mid-copy), but my fuelpad.db file is corrupted. I open fuelpad, and it comes up with no data, even after I open the database by name.

I tried PMing and emailing you to ask about this, The email from garage.maemo.org bounced. What are the steps to recover the database?

Thanks,
--vr

jlu, kudos for the great app, mate!

I have no requests or bugs to report - it has what I want, and how I want it from that kind of app.

Congratulations, keep up the great work, it is surely appreciated

Hi jlu,

Thanks a lot for the application. I find it really nice.

If I'm not wrong your application doesn't have the configuration for osso-backup.
If true, please consider including a config file so that the db is included when using the backup system...

Some info: http://maemo.org/maemo_release_docum...00000000000000

Thanks again.

You are right, it does not. Thanks for the tip. It is one of the things that I consider to be needed before I can bump the version up to 1.0.

I'll take this opportunity to tell you something that I have done lately with fuelpad. I have started porting to Fremantle. The code compiles and I have changed all the menus to the new finger friendly ones. Right now I am working with the settings menu, which at first sight seems to be the hardest to change to the new style. I might get at least an alpha version out at about the same time when the first N900s are delivered. I am not going to add any new features to the diablo version before I complete the Fremantle port. However, I am not sure if I am going to buy an N900 at least right away since I have quite a new E51, which I am quite happy with.

Julius

I started looking into this and I noticed that the data in /home/user/MyDocs is included automatically in the backup. The default location of the database is /home/user/MyDocs (in the Diablo and earlier versions of Fuelpad) and even though Fuelpad does not have a backup configuration file, the database is backed up.

The Fremantle version will change the default location to /home/user and therefore I am adding the backup configuration.
