Notices

i have been noticing an interesting problem with my n900 and feedingit. if i open feedingit and use it in portrait mode for a bit, then i switch to another app (opera for example) and use the keyboard for a bit in landscape mode feedingit it get stuck in portrait mode.

When i pull up the task switcher feedingit shows in landscape mode however when i switch to it even though the keyboard is out and the phone is landscape oriented, feedingit will switch to portrait every time...

once it gets stuck like this the only way out is to quit and restart. slocan have you seen this functionality?

hmm it only gets stuck when the keyboard is open by the looks of it, as if I close the keyboard it will go from portrait to landscape and back again no problem at all.

Opening the keyboard locks the app in its current mode (landscape or portrait). I find it useful when lying down so it doesn't rotate automatically all the time.

In the Settings dialogue, are the font size settings really in pixels as it says, or in points as I suspect?

The unit is whatever unit Gtk uses by default, which is probably points, I think you're correct.

Just posted a little video preview of the new interface based on Qml:

It's still in quite an early stage, with a few known issues (mainly strange caching behaviour), and a lot of polishing to do. But it's been quite an interesting experiment.

For those who would like to try it themselves (usual extras-devel caution applies, times 5 as it's not even there!), the 0.9beta package is available at: https://garage.maemo.org/frs/?group_id=1202
Note that you need to have PR1.3, and install manually the qt4-declarative-qmlviewer package. This version adds categories, and also fixes a few bugs.
To preview the QML interface, type "FeedingIt qml" on the X-terminal. As usual, feel free to send feedback, comments and even insults my way.

Surprisingly fast interface in qml - good work!
And in the traditional layout the entries of the feeds have the correct order again, yeah!
How do I update the feeds in the qml version, or do I have to wait for the next release?

Thanks! I have to say I am quite impressed with what's possible in QML. Nokia and all the Qt contributors have made something really nice here.

You can't for now. I'd suggest to use the home-screen widget to trigger regular automatic updates, or manual (the white icon).

Sorry if this question is already answered, I didn't read through all 45 pages.
Is there an option to enlarge the widget? Currently it seems like it shows as many lines as feeds are enabled. I started with two feeds and the widget showed two lines, then I added a third feed and the widget grew by one line. This might be useful when looking at the feeds but when looking at the entries this is way to small. I'd like to have 10 or more lines so I can quickly see the latest entries without having to scroll or open the app itself.

Hi x-lette, the widget will show up to 10 lines, depending on how many feeds you have. If you only have 2 feeds, but want it to be bigger, you can add a few feeds with just spaces as names and "http://" as url.
