Not good... In Italian there is the same problem. Plus, for the scrollbar I used the Italian translations of "narrow" and wide", feminine gender, while for chars I used masculine translations of "small" and "large".
Now, I can't find an Italian masculine term for scrollbar.
So perhaps conny could differentiate the qualifiers for characters and scrollbars? This could allow a more common French term for the latter, too.

Its two values, "Small" and "Large", were already translated in the previous .po file so they're going to be re-used.
Except that in the first case, they referred to a "Style", which in French is a masculine noun. And now they refer to a "Scrollbar", for which the usual translation is a feminine noun. So we should have "Grand" and "Petit" in one place, "Grande" and "Petite" in another...
For now, as a workaround I have changed the "Scrollbar" translation to a less common, but still correct, equivalent... which happens to be masculine :-)
Well, now I know
and I'll consider it for the next version.

I could do this by introducing keys like "scrollbar_size_small" and "font_size_small" or by using new English strings like "wide" and "narrow".

I like the first version better, but it will take much more time. What do you think: Is there a good English synonym for big/small regarding the scrollbars?

For now it should be ok and in the next version there will be unique strings for everything. Could you send me the translations for:
Scrollbar: thick / thin
Fontsize: small / large
Then I'll but it into the po file tonight.

Thinking twice, it could be "piccola / grande" for both - now they're both feminine

For the next version I intend to fix this in a proper way.

Good news everyone
I just released version 0.5.0! It should be available as usual through the extras repository for Chinook, Diablo and Fremantle.
Changes in this release:
With this release I'm officially claiming to have the first orientation aware Fremantle application
Hopefully we get some devices soon to test it out...
If you find bugs or you have feature requests, please discuss here or (even better) directly file a bug:
https://bugs.maemo.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=Conboy
Enjoy!
Conny

My first note had several level of indentations.
Saved, closed.
Several hours re-opened, and lots of it *lacked* - the text was simply missing while bullets were still there.
Also, when I try to nuke this note, the program exits and when started again that note is still in the list.
Started the program from command line, it says ERROR: The note with the guid [insert long alphanumeric string] could not be deleted.
So I created a new note and deleted the offending one. Allright? Nope. When program is restarted, the zombie note from hell shows again.
Go to xterm, cd .conboy, ls -a, here's the stupid note. Kill it. Start over.
