hi clever computer people again, i need more help. it look s like I'm going to be installing some internet tablets into a science museum for visitors to draw pictures on and then blue tooth to their phones, so i was thinking is there a way to keep the sketch program displayed at all times? possibly by disabling the drop down exit option and 'X' button? any of you clever people know how to do that? Then by putting sketch on the full screen option before securing the device and encasing the full screen button. It should work....

moshing,

what you are asking for sounds more like a bespoke application.

Its going to need to have a proper interface for talking to the bluetooth phones.
I dont think you will find a "--museum-mode+bluetoothsend" specially designed into most software.

As for sketching, liqbase does a good job at covering the OS and being a fullscreen application in active development could be tailored to your needs.

Images can be saved as png at present, not sure about a bluetooth interface, but you will tell me how important that is, have you considered simply uploading sketches at the end of a day or as required to a webserver?

might be more flexible and would allow the smaller phone free visitors to use the device.

The last I heard about you was you were doing software updates of things and wanting to do things automatically via a cron job, did you manage that?

actually: the sketch feature preloaded on each Internet tablet has a blue tooth send option...

actually:from my research png is the best file format, it works on the most phones. People will be drawing, saving and then instantly blue tooth the pictures to their mobile.


re:might be more flexible and would allow the smaller phone free visitors to use the device.
actually: everyone has a phone, and i want to see if groups of school kids are queuing up to use it or

not? other project at a later stage.

actually:i do many things so many things i can't remember what a corn job is, but recently i failed to even install the debian chroot. usually i can work out why i fail but that time i could not.
