Hi All.. After being sequestered for the last few nights, I think that the sony branch could use a little testing. Specifically, support for the HiRes and JogDial features on Sony Clie devices (N, S, T series)
NOTE: this is nothing close to an official release. This is nothing close to a beta release, IMO. Consider it post-alpha. Only test this out on your Clie if you have everything backed up, etc etc. My point being... if it crashes and burns, it sounds like a personal problem :) That being said, there are quite a few changes in this. Specifically if you've never installed plucker before, it will try to autodetect the best resolution and screen depth. If you already have used plucker on your palm, you will need to set the depth/resolution manually in the preferences (while viewing a doc) You should be able to switch from hires to lowres without any problems, as well it should remember your settings each time you restart the program. The Toolbar and scrollbar should all work, except I had to disable the scrollbar from dynamically updating the document window each time its moved. Instead the document is only updated once you let go of the scrollbar itself. This is becuase rendering gets extremly slow, and until the routines can be optimized, this had to be turned off. Fonts however I have not yet been upgraded to handle themselves properly. Ie, font's 'standard', 'large', and 'narrow' are translated into 'tiny', 'small', and 'tiny narrow' when actually viewing a document. Those will be fixed in the next test binary. Other than that, hack away. Try to crash it. Note that this should still work for Sony devices that do not support hires, as well as devices that are not made by sony, without any adverse affects. Feel free to try the prc out in any device just to make sure it doens't die a miserable death. For those of you who want to try it out, you can download a prc from: http://www.array.org/~adamm/plucker-sony/20020327/viewer_en.prc As well,.. source code is in the cvs sony branch. -- Adam McDaniel Array Networks Calgary, AB, Canada
