All, I looked at the data both 1.0.1 and prior versions. In fact, the "desktopDevice" was always in the Patch file to override and customize the device (e.g. resolution your apps and desktops have, especially in companies) so while a "genericDestop" seems fine in the main file, could we simply move the "desktopDevice" there?
This other "patchDevice" is an empty stub. IMHO for special devices, phones, tablets, wearable,etc. it could also work well there (unless we maintain them elsewhere) but a "desktopDevice" to override genericDesktop seems better here, too. Keep in mind (and since e.g. builder classes were messed up several times, I have to agree with Eberhard on sometimes hasty changes, mostly by Reza) there are not just our Java or .NET clients, but quite a few (~a dozen maybe more) implementations in other languages. If they find OpenDDR no longer maintained often enough, they seek an alterative and DeviceMap aims to offer the best alternative to them. Most stick to W3C, so at least for 1.x data the clients shall be compatible with that, even if an altrnate client may offer say faster performance or flexible loading of data from JAR, online URI, etc. Werner On Tue, Sep 9, 2014 at 5:01 PM, eberhard speer jr. <[email protected]> wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Hi, > > FYI and to play around with, shoot at : here's a DeviceDataSource I > generated, without duplicates, and where NokiaE66 does have a > displayWidth again etc : ie : some devices have 1 or 2 more > [recovered] properties [not new !]. > The only other big difference is that 'generic-' does not have any > properties.
