Just a quick heads up. Those of you who followed this cycle will remember that my initial reason for trying to get 4.4 out fairly quickly was to add Facebook support to Subsurface. And as luck would have it, this afternoon our post access to Facebook was approved.
So my tentative plan is now to release another Beta this weekend with Facebook support enabled. I'm afraid this might add a string or two and of course this will require a quick chapter in the user manual - but I think this is worth it. I'll push some changes that enable Facebook support on Qt5 builds by default and try to wrestle with the user experience a tiny bit - Tomaz and I stopped worrying about this when we didn't get anything back from Facebook for nearly a month... in hindsight that was a mistake. It would be great if people could test posting to Facebook and report any issues they run into. Using this is fairly straight forward. 1) in the preferences, connect Subsurface to your FB account 2) an 'f' icon will show up next to the notes 3) click the 'f' and you'll see a dialog that allows you to post to FB Willem - Tomaz will add a couple small changes to this, so don't do screenshots just yet. We'll ask the user for a PIN in step 1 and have them enter that PIN in step 3. The reason is that we don't want other applications to be able to read the FB token in clear text from our settings and abuse that to post to the users time line without their knowledge... /D _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list [email protected] http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
