Excellent!

I can't tell you how much I've been waiting patiently for this.

Big time, major thanks!

Ok, package correctly uploaded ...
here is the changelog for kchmviewer 4.1-1maemo3 :
* enhanced kinetic scrolling support
* Added an option (enabled by default) to disable tabs
* History is disabled by default now, this should reduce startup crashes
* Using correct CFLAGS to build chmlib & disabled some of the build optimizations(this seems to correct the instability)

The first post is updated to point to the new version.

Please let me know if there is any problem or if you have a suggestion.

Give me a few days to post on it's performance while I hammer it with some 300 meg sized books of unhapiness.

Thank you so much!

So, what do you think ? is it better ?
Personnaly, not a single crash with this version, even with 150+ MB ebooks.
I know that there are lots of ideas/features or enhancements that could be done, but I think I'm done with kchmviewer now.
I wanted a native chm reader for my N800, and I got it.

I will update source code in github and garage.

Again, if something needs to be corrected, feel free to tell me.

Thanks everybody.

I'm sorry dude, this week has been the stupid.

I promise to test it immensely and intensely (that kind of sounds sick doesn't it?) come this weekend.

Hey, how's med school going?

It's nice to see that it has yet driven you to suicide.

just went back this week... straight into psychiatry

I hope you will be able to test it "immensely and intensely".
I may give it one last shot, probably to find a way to implement a fit-to-width function ..., maybe I'll keep hacking it to avoid suicide

Well if there's any place that you belong in, it would be there. *lol*

Okay. Here's a few findings so far.

Installing took about a 23.5 meg chunk out of my internal flash. Totally, totally worth it though.

Scrolling through text is just a little bit faster than MicroB. Very nice!

Love the new features!

It only partially crashed on me once but I was receiving a text message at the time so I don't even think it had much to do with kchmviewer. To me, it's pretty rock solid this time around.

I'm not all that partial to the kinetic scrolling feature since it can be a little weird at times highlighting junk on the screen without reason. I'd prefer normal scrolling anyway.

Regular scrolling is great but sometimes it has problems highlighting and unhighlighting text as well. This might be my own user misunderstanding though.

Holding the stylus on the screen anywhere, including the scroll bar, for a little over a second causes the pop up menu to appear. No big whoop. It just a little frustrating sometimes to have it constantly popping up on the screen. I'll get the timing down better so it doesn't happen as often.

If you ever repackage this one more time, my only suggestion would be to have an option to remove the scroll bars. Even the one the right, yet still retain the same function as if it were there. Not sure if that would be easy programming for you to remove the right one yet still allow for regular scrolling.

Here's a picture that shows both scroll bars that, to be honest, really aren't even needed:


Other than that, fantastic release!

If you don't touch this ever again, many thanks!

It's good enough for me as well.


Off topic: What program do you use for Harrison's? The standard PDF viewer that comes with the tablet is turd.

Cheers!

This should be caused by th Qt libraries, nothing much I can do ..

The class I'm using for kinetic scrolling isn't optimized for touch screen, probably I'll hunt this random text selection bug ...

The regular scrolling works correctly so far, I'm not sure what may have caused that.

The popup is a feature of kchmviewer, I'll try to delay it or probably disable it.

Hiding the scrollbars shouldn't be problematic, but I don't understand what you are asking.

About Harrison's, I'm not that addicted since I can't find a french version, but I'm using the english chm version, so you guess what program ....

Hey.

The problem is that the pop up menu occurs even when you're scrolling. I don't think that was intentionally programmed to behave in such a way.

Hold down any part of the scroll bar and you'll see what I mean.

What I was trying to mention earlier is to basically have an option for an invisible right scroll bar.

It takes up that little part of the screen making it so it's not full screen anymore so then a bottom scroll bar is needed.

So in a sense, the feature of the scroll bar would still there but it wouldn't be displayed and take up any space on the screen.

It's only a suggestion.

I didn't know that Harrison's was available in .chm format. Mine came in a stupid .pdf. Thanks for the heads up on this.

Good luck in psych. It's one painfully boring piece of unbearable poop to get through.

So there's a small possibility for one last final update to this?
