Re: R: Can't force display light to stay on forever?
Is there a good way of doing this temporarily, for instance while playing back video? Can I do it in python? Right now I'm telling the backlight to turn on every 8 seconds or so, but even that doesn't really work (sometimes the display goes dim and then pops back). I don't want to temporarily change any configuration files in case my program crashes before it can unset this option. Owen On Thu, 2008-10-02 at 16:25 +0200, Marco Solari wrote: Thanks!

Announcing PenguinTV, rss reader and podcast downloader
I've finally finished the port of my RSS/Podcast software, PenguinTV, to hildon and maemo. The big sticking point was how to package python-gtkmozembed support, but I figured that out and now PenguinTV is on extras-devel for testing and comments. If it seems to work for people, then I'll promote it to extras. Where to find it: extras-devel Here's a quick feature list: * 5-year development history, with workarounds for all sorts of malformed feeds * responsive on maemo even with 100 feeds * local image caching, for viewing feeds even when you don't have an internet connection * support for enclosed media, including video and audio * built-in gstreamer media player that remembers playback position so you can exit and restart where you left off * tagging support for quick access to subsets of your feeds * mostly finger-friendly interface, although I could use some help with this * power-management Good Citizen -- no ticking clocks or running threads unless needed -- leave it running all day Here are some problems: * startup time is really slow right now, and I'm trying to improve it. Since PenguinTV is python-based, most of the time is just starting up python and loading all the modules it needs (which is a lot). Another big chunk of time is loading the glade UI. I would appreciate any help fixing this. * feed updating is very slow, but it is steady and it won't peg the CPU. Feed updates are done at priority 15 to ensure that the device remains responsive and doesn't pop up not responding messages. * penguintv eats a lot of RAM. not much I can do about this. * gtkmozembed doesn't support finger-scrolling. I don't know how to fix this. Please give it a go and let me know what you think!

Re: Treeview drag and drop
I find I have to tape and select the item, then tap and hold to get it to drag and drop. If I tap to select and immediately start dragging, I get the multi-select thing. If your treeview does not have multiselect, that sounds like a gtk bug. owen On Mon, 2008-08-25 at 10:23 -0600, Jeffrey Barish wrote: I have a treeview in which it is possible to reorder rows by drag and drop. (It is also possible to drag a row into the treeview from another treeview.) It all works fine on Ubuntu, but on maemo I find that to drag a row from the treeview in question to itself, I have to move the stylus to a point outside the treeview before the movement registers as a drag. Any movements confined to the treeview itself will not trigger the drag. I suppose that there must be a problem with drag_check_threshold. Has anyone else has observed this behavior?

Do you have a project on garage for this? No, I just have a diff file against current Sonata SVN. (The Sonata maintainer has said that the diff is too large to merge into trunk). I'll set up a garage page, but I'll need some help setting up a repo that can pull in changes from Sonata's primary SVN from time to time. Also you may try to get/adapt the packaging scripts from the Ubuntu or Debian version of Sonata. Just run apt-get source sonata in some directory from Ubuntu/Debian. that's a good idea That's easy, really. You just have to read a little docs (for example, here: http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ I think I'll focus on getting sonata to work, then start wrestling with this problem. I believe that's because you don't provide larger icons (app menu uses 64x64 icons as far as I understand), or don't run gtk-update-icon-cache. You should put them in /usr/share/icons/hicolor/64x64/apps/ and run gtk-update-icon-cache -f /usr/share/icons/hicolor from your postinst hooks of the .deb package.
