Why limit it to the library? Why not let the back function exit instead of going to the library if the you're on the first page (and that page isn't the library). Because currently, tapping the back arrow from the main screen while viewing a document sends you to the Library. I'm not

Re: Displaying Plucker files from another application?

2004-01-29 Thread David A. Desrosiers
Would that be packaged as a shared library or a separate application? If my application is commercial, I can't just include Plucker source code, can I? You would be writing a reader, from scratch, that can read the Plucker document format, based on the existing Plucker document API.

But there could be an exit button when Plucker is sublaunched with some code that requests it. Here's a thought... add a Back button to the Library view. d. ___ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Well, it's not a matter of re-using but re-generating. A derivative work of a non-copyrightable item either has no copyright or has copyright owned by the person (i.e., us) who produced the derivative work. EVERYTHING is copyrighted, by the person(s) who created it. The difference is

Re: PalmFontConv help needed

I need a volunteer who is willing to do some GUI programming for the PalmFontConv project. The project is GPL. (But I'm willing to change that to BSD if the volunteer insists--I own all the copyrights on the code, except for the FT2 library which is BSD- and GPL-compatible.) I

so - something wrong with the autogen or configure scripts? Did you run autoreconf in the viewer subdirectory? d. ___ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev

Re: proposal: exact anchors

2004-01-21 Thread David A. Desrosiers
But the basic thing is this. a href=#... is supposed to let one go straight to the a name=#... tag. Currently, it doesn't--it goes back to the top of the paragraph containing that tag, and it is quite possible that the place with the tag doesn't even show up on that screen. It

Re: proposal: exact anchors

2004-01-21 Thread David A. Desrosiers
BTW, if you start supporting this for arbitrary places, you should also support the id attribute, which allows any element to be used as a destination for a a href=#... link. Or does Plucker already do this? Let's also not forget that the 'name' attribute has been dropped in XHTML 1.1

Re: DRM

2004-01-19 Thread David A. Desrosiers
(Current Plucker DRM is, I take it, not very good, since one could always compile a custom version of Plucker that instead of loading the hotsync name from the OS has the hotsync name hardcoded.) Plucker's Python parser already has a DRM-like feature. We talked about this a year or

Re: Plucker Plugin Interface

2004-01-18 Thread David A. Desrosiers
1. Is there any way of adding private plugins that can be distributed separately and don't have to be merged into the PPI executable? 2. Is the interface sufficient to allow for different kinds of data/commands to be passed, beyond a simple lookup? A possible #3, based on #1

Re: AbsoluteWord

2004-01-06 Thread David A. Desrosiers
I wish they wouldn't call Plucker freeware; it's free software. More specifically, Free Software. I've been dealing with these, and similar issues lately, with the recent discovery of 4 commercial companies using pilot-link directly in their commercial non-free products.

Re: AbsoluteWord

2004-01-06 Thread David A. Desrosiers
At the risk of sparking a flame war, Open Source software has the decided advantage over Free Software in this regard, given that it is pronounced differently than free software. Except that Free Software and Open Source are two completely different terms, describing two completely

ptorrent, download .prc/.pdb directly into your Palm

2004-01-02 Thread David A. Desrosiers
For those with live networked Palm devices, you can now download .prc and .pdb files _directly_ onto your Palm device from the Palm itself, using a tool I just found called 'ptorrent'. It's a bit rough around the edges, but if you load it up, and point it to a Plucker .pdb file (such as

Re: Support for unit test using PalmCUnit

2003-12-31 Thread David A. Desrosiers
At the moment you have to apply the attached patch to the PalmCUnit code, but I will contact the current maintainer of PalmCUnit and check if he could make these minor changes to the main source code. If not, then I will add the patch to CVS. For those doing this on Unix/POSIX
