Jul 31 14:09:43 I'm gonna need fxspec06's help later today.. lol Jul 31 14:10:21 PatrickC, almooooost... it has a bug, but I think it's Palm-side.. the code is correct, yet the results are not... I think I'll have to work around it (yet again) Jul 31 14:10:35 haha Jul 31 14:10:46 at least you can work around it ;) Jul 31 14:18:30 fxspec06: have you played with array splice/slice?

I think it's time for the first full working pre-release :D Jul 31 14:26:54 YEAH! cool Jul 31 14:28:45 it does NOT work on Pre2, I don't know if it will work in REDACTED either, but at least works in the 3.0 emu and should work on TP (the saving part, it's a webOS limitation) Jul 31 14:28:55 the saving, doesn't work Jul 31 14:28:59 brb Jul 31 14:45:24 NuttyBunny, virtual lists work fine Jul 31 15:32:02 PuffTheMagic: file:///opt/PalmSDK/Current/share/refcode/framework/enyo/1.0/support/examples/List/SelectableVirtualGrid/index.html <-- When I click "Load Data", the first row is wrong. If I click it again, it gets fixed. On my app, the first time it shows correctly, but the next ones it shows wrong :S I'll just load all the data at once and present it in a scroller (it shouldn't change) ;) Jul 31 15:32:25 Ah, it's "Virtual Grid" Jul 31 15:33:39 lol Jul 31 15:34:45 NuttyBunny: yeah that example is borked Jul 31 15:35:02 I left it there because it kinda worked, but now I need to fix that.. :) squashing all the remaining bugs Jul 31 15:35:07 also if you resize the window, that first row changes Jul 31 15:35:48 people, throw me app name ideas for my editor app, so far the contenders are "TIDE -> Touchpad IDE" and "Enyo Edit" Jul 31 15:35:52 akanster: The problem is that the logic is fine, I set the image.src correctly, but the element just changes.. too weird. Jul 31 15:35:53 but i want more ideas Jul 31 15:35:58 s/want/need/ Jul 31 15:36:27 I like Tide Jul 31 15:36:38 but that's not too discoverable on Google Jul 31 15:36:51 everyone would get the detergent instead :) Jul 31 15:37:06 the tide logo is my icon right now actually ;) Jul 31 15:37:11 haha Jul 31 15:37:16 hehehe Jul 31 15:38:16 Puff Puff Edit Jul 31 15:38:29 Endorsed by Snoop Dogg Jul 31 15:38:31 lol Jul 31 15:43:35 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIEJA2eyBfo - Awesome juggling skills Jul 31 16:23:09 hmm Jul 31 16:23:23 why dont modal dialogs handle orientations changes Jul 31 17:56:04 any db8 people want to test something for me?

Jul 31 17:57:04 that's a different key :/ Jul 31 17:57:11 without the a_record part Jul 31 17:57:50 it's weird, announcement_blah works, anouncements1_blah works, but announcements_blah gives permission denied everytime Jul 31 17:58:02 I even deleted the whole dbkind (supposedly) Jul 31 17:58:07 and it still persists Jul 31 18:10:16 sugardave, http://ompldr.org/vOXBkNw/tide_2011-31-07_140801.png Jul 31 18:10:48 PuffTheMagic: wow, that is nice!

So much for the famous "Gorilla Glass". A week near the beach, 3 small scratches near the gesture area. Bah :@ Jul 31 20:18:48 d'awwww Jul 31 20:19:29 I won't turn the screen off again Jul 31 20:49:53 well, sprint has no idea what the problem is, that's reassuring Jul 31 20:55:16 * PatrickC wanders in Jul 31 21:00:43 huzzaa Jul 31 21:00:55 the power button on my dev Pre2 is now broken too Jul 31 21:01:41 hey phoque_uni Jul 31 21:01:52 phoque_uni: how long since you got it?

Jul 31 22:21:14 as far as I know if you want to use node it has to be in the form of a service Jul 31 22:23:58 if you want to get it in the app catalog, yes Jul 31 22:24:36 I guess you could do a PDK app (not hybrid) which just runs a shell script which runs node. Jul 31 22:25:06 rwhitby, 90% of Tide is node not as a service :/ Jul 31 22:26:10 hmm Jul 31 22:26:49 there is no way I could make it all a service Jul 31 22:28:41 i could understand making a service to be standalone, but requiring one for use in a app is lame-o Jul 31 22:31:08 does this look right? http://pastebin.com/YwXi3jd6 Jul 31 22:31:54 * NuttyBunny takes a look... no time to learn mojo... *goes back to photofun node.js service* Jul 31 22:33:25 hey all, I'm trying to get the MojoSDK running on fedora 15 (as docuemnted on webos-internals), and all goes well until I try and run the navacom post install script (start and stop aren't found, lines 33/36), any suggestions?

Exiting."... ideas? :( Jul 31 22:40:52 twbbas: new kernel Jul 31 22:46:34 NuttyBunny: use a full path as the argument Jul 31 22:47:02 mmm.. I tried with ./blabla.service .. trying full path Jul 31 22:47:32 genius! Thanks! :D I assumed the dot would work Jul 31 22:47:36 VILLO CHAT IS WORKING!! Jul 31 22:47:41 thanks fxspec06 for the help Jul 31 22:48:38 now my app has some functionality :) Jul 31 22:49:34 ok.. quick question.. if I call a showAlertDialog with a swapScene .. all my app does is swapScene Jul 31 22:49:42 it doesn't show the alertDialog Jul 31 22:51:58 I would like to have both.. Jul 31 22:54:14 you probably did something wrong.. Jul 31 22:54:17 paste it Jul 31 22:54:19 http://pastebin.com/XtqEVP8j Jul 31 22:54:34 ... Jul 31 22:54:39 what? Jul 31 22:54:45 you need to call the swap scene once the user has picked a choice Jul 31 22:55:14 there you show the dialog, and swap the scene not caring if a choice has been made in the milliseconds Jul 31 22:55:22 so I need a case with my label, and then tell my case what to do? Jul 31 22:55:56 sooo look up the docs for alertDialog. find out the onPick or whatever method is and in that handler swap the scene Jul 31 22:56:31 and sorry, that was rude of me to assume you did something wrong ;) Jul 31 22:57:54 lol Jul 31 23:00:52 I think I found it Jul 31 23:01:40 nope.. lemme paste again Jul 31 23:02:06 http://pastebin.com/q6Jsbq0i Jul 31 23:06:09 PatrickC: Got your email Jul 31 23:06:37 twbbas: cool Jul 31 23:06:38 bbl Jul 31 23:07:13 aww he doesn't want to test it Jul 31 23:13:56 I should have permissions to write inside my directory if I got it created with the download manager.. Jul 31 23:13:58 * NuttyBunny rants Jul 31 23:23:25 * NuttyBunny hops around :D Jul 31 23:27:27 NuttyBunny: I was wondering the same thing of how to save a downloaded file into my app's directory. Jul 31 23:27:49 If you figure it out, let me know :D Otherwise I'm gonna have to download the files to a "hidden" folder in the media/internal/ directory Jul 31 23:29:19 twbbas: It won't work on the newer emu. You can download the files and create the directory, but the node.js service isn't being able to write there :@ Jul 31 23:30:06 YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!!!! Jul 31 23:30:15 * NuttyBunny hops around once more Jul 31 23:30:21 * NuttyBunny crashes into the ceiling Jul 31 23:31:02 now I'm gonna see if I can download something in THAT directory that I just created, or if there's something wrong over there ;) Jul 31 23:36:00 NuttyBunny: Wait, so I can download files into my app's directory using just the downloadservice? Jul 31 23:36:16 NuttyBunny: Or can I only create the folder? Jul 31 23:36:54 twbbas: I don't know if you *can* exactly to your app directory, but you can create a directory in /media/internal, and download whatever you like there Jul 31 23:37:14 NuttyBunny: Yeah, that's what I have it doing right now. I was just curious if you could do it to your app directory. Jul 31 23:38:00 twbbas: dunno, if we asked rwhitby he would tell us to check the jailer (which I checked, but I don't remember the info) ;) Jul 31 23:40:27 I see it mounted Jul 31 23:40:42 * NuttyBunny fiddles with the directories.. Jul 31 23:40:47 NuttyBunny: btw, do you know off the top of your head how to create a hidden folder in the media/internal/? I know by naming it with a . makes it hidden from webOS but I want it to be hidden from Windows, for example. Jul 31 23:41:42 twbbas: somehow you have to set the "hidden" FAT attribute to the file, which, I don't know how to :) Jul 31 23:42:17 Yeah, was just curious. I've done some quick searching on how to do it but nothing too deep. Now I know to look for "hidden FAT attribute" :D Jul 31 23:44:49 it didn't create the directory under the app directory, I assume it's read only :( Jul 31 23:45:16 Yeah, makes sense but I'd still like the ability to mess with *my own* app directory. Jul 31 23:46:02 now I need to... ah, yes, find the camera shutter sound Jul 31 23:46:04 It might also be there to prevent your app from downloading new .js files to avoid the app review process. Jul 31 23:46:08 haha nice Jul 31 23:46:30 you already saw that it plays the whee sound, didn't you? Jul 31 23:46:42 Yup! Jul 31 23:47:51 Excellent, there it is, it's a system sound... "shutter.pcm" Jul 31 23:50:25 twbbas: you could still use a js file in the media internal directory Jul 31 23:52:12 true :) Jul 31 23:52:45 (new Function(// some giant responseText))() Jul 31 23:55:50 or use eval ;) Jul 31 23:56:00 eval is evil :P Jul 31 23:59:17 There, it works!!! :D http://twitpic.com/5z2dxq Aug 01 00:02:09 nice Aug 01 00:02:24 And it saves the pictures in their own album: http://twitpic.com/5z2fgd Aug 01 00:02:56 Now I just need to add the menu and help screen and publish it :D Aug 01 00:13:21 NuttyBunny: Nice! Aug 01 00:15:45 phew.. it feels great, from an idea to a full app in just more than a month, on my free time.. And with everything I learned, the photo editing/drawing app will be a breeze (of course, I know there are at least 3 guys working on something similar, I don't care)... and I also will compete in the text editors arena ;) Aug 01 00:19:46 :/ Aug 01 00:25:34 It will be a standard text editor, I think there's one already. Perhaps it won't even sync remotely. It's just for fun :) It will use the rich text fields Aug 01 00:32:46 PuffTheMagic: Tide can only be a homebrew app, right? (With the whole app packaging/running stuff) Or will you also release an app cat version without that feature? Aug 01 00:33:47 those features are way down the road Aug 01 00:34:04 but yes i plan on app cat and homebrew releases with different features Aug 01 00:41:54 NuttyBunny, why! Aug 01 00:42:27 PuffTheMagic: Remember, I need 10 apps ;) blame HP/Palm Aug 01 00:42:32 the RichText control is currently kinda messed up Aug 01 00:42:49 I might as well release 20 ebooks apps and make them count... bah Aug 01 00:42:55 NuttyBunny, ++ Aug 01 00:42:57 do that Aug 01 00:43:17 haeffb: really?? there you go PuffTheMagic, my app will fail miserably ;) Aug 01 00:43:20 i spent 2 years on wIRC and that doesnt even go towards my count :( Aug 01 00:43:36 why? it's ON the catalog! Aug 01 00:43:43 it won't fail...it'll just not be as simple as it should be Aug 01 00:43:49 under oil's account not mine Aug 01 00:44:04 i dont think hp will allow us to share credit Aug 01 00:44:06 Didn't they cover their butt and say that the app number limits were kind of… Up to their discretion? Aug 01 00:44:09 but i dont really know how they do it Aug 01 00:44:39 PuffTheMagic: I assume they should share the credit... but I assume many things and I'm often wrong :'( Aug 01 00:44:46 PuffTheMagic: I blame oil Aug 01 00:45:03 PuffTheMagic didn't want taxes Aug 01 00:45:31 oil, dont need to add anything to this, im not blaming you Aug 01 00:46:05 PuffTheMagic: I blame oil Aug 01 00:46:21 well, yeah, but not for that... :) Aug 01 00:46:22 LOL ... I DO remember that discussion!! :D Aug 01 00:46:23 ^^ haeffb said that not me Aug 01 00:46:29 i know Aug 01 00:46:41 and i was pointing out why it is like it is Aug 01 00:47:01 PuffTheMagic: well I don't get credit for Spaz HD and I did lots of the work too Aug 01 00:47:11 soooo, everyone gets screwed in the end, eh. Aug 01 00:47:24 Tibfib, thats lame Aug 01 00:47:26 Palm: "Don't work on open source apps together" Aug 01 00:47:45 I take my screwing up front. Less worry about when it'll happen. Aug 01 00:48:04 haeffb: you are a wise wise man Aug 01 00:48:08 maybe wIRC TP will be a new app id, we will just have to give promo codes to the 5 people that bought the app cat version Aug 01 00:48:25 haha, I bought it, and I don't even use wIRC Aug 01 00:48:34 * haeffb will pay for it again Aug 01 00:48:34 (not a fan of mobile IRC) Aug 01 00:48:46 yeah, I think you will be fine with a new id Aug 01 00:48:47 it's a new app Aug 01 00:48:55 Tibfib, the TP version will be a whole new experience Aug 01 00:49:05 if you were just making old wIRC resize properly, I may have a small issue with buying it again Aug 01 00:49:09 wIRC-HD ;) Aug 01 00:49:10 but you're not, so go for it Aug 01 00:49:14 oil: is there TP full screen or enyo version of Aug 01 00:49:19 Lumberjack available? Aug 01 00:49:22 YEP Aug 01 00:49:36 it exists, but its not great Aug 01 00:49:43 WHAT DO YOU MEAN??? Aug 01 00:49:47 oil has been slacking Aug 01 00:49:52 do you not have an "email all" option? Aug 01 00:50:05 it's not great, merely above average. Aug 01 00:50:05 I'm going to stab someone if oil hasn't added that Aug 01 00:50:10 does not care about "great" so much as "logging an app works and shows full screen" Aug 01 00:50:26 Tibfib: its got an email button Aug 01 00:50:33 dont remember if i made it do anything or not Aug 01 00:50:36 oil: an email "all" button? Aug 01 00:50:43 its an email button Aug 01 00:50:43 :'( Aug 01 00:50:52 im I best of just flipping the bit for uiRevision: 2 in the app info on latest in the feed, or actually try and package the enyo one? Aug 01 00:50:52 i dont think it says "all" Aug 01 00:51:06 look at enyo/lumberjack.git Aug 01 00:51:12 mmmmmmkay Aug 01 00:51:22 thx Aug 01 00:54:31 sometimes scrolling while rows are being added will crash webos Aug 01 00:55:47 permission denied? WTF? git@git.webos-internals.org:enyo/lumberjack Aug 01 00:56:03 use the other url Aug 01 00:56:36 same Aug 01 00:56:45 remote end hung up unexpectedly Aug 01 00:56:58 rwhitby: ^? Aug 01 00:57:34 man I love underscore Aug 01 00:57:46 sooooo good Aug 01 00:58:04 PuffTheMagic: have you actually asked Palm whether you and oil can both get credit for wIRC, or you just ranting based on an assumption? Aug 01 00:58:38 same on windows. Aug 01 00:58:42 rwhitby: chuq has stated that Aug 01 00:58:52 Tibfib: where? Aug 01 00:58:54 someone asked about having a closed source and an open source account Aug 01 00:58:57 rwhitby, hardly a rant, i just said i prob wont get credit for it, but no i havent asked yet, cause even 1 app doesnt put me into a new belt category Aug 01 00:59:00 chuq said they don't count Aug 01 00:59:10 * oil gets credit for phd too then? :) Aug 01 00:59:15 rwhitby: on the forums, don't remember exactly where Aug 01 00:59:19 * oil is movin up in belts Aug 01 00:59:32 you get counted whatever is in YOUR account Aug 01 00:59:35 according to Chuq Aug 01 01:00:58 Tibfib: See that's where people go wrong. There are some things you should not ask in public, since then you can only get public answers. Aug 01 01:01:09 Discretion is much easier to do in private. Aug 01 01:01:22 definitely Aug 01 01:01:48 (and it's clear from the "qualified apps" wording that discretion comes into play) Aug 01 01:02:17 So if you publicly complain about your shared apps not being counted, chances are that itself is going to make them not able to have discretion applied to them. Aug 01 01:03:12 goood thing it doesn't matter to me Aug 01 01:03:17 I only have 2 apps in the catalog Aug 01 01:03:20 spaz hd would be one more Aug 01 01:03:29 write more soundboards Aug 01 01:03:48 s/qualified/quality/ Aug 01 01:04:03 rwatkins: unless you have commit privs, you'll need to use the public git URL Aug 01 01:04:26 oil: that makes me laugh at first and then cry. how could palm have chosen such terrible requirements Aug 01 01:04:39 rwhitby: which is? Aug 01 01:04:44 the git:// one Aug 01 01:04:50 ya, no go. Aug 01 01:04:50 it's like some executive did it or something. Someone who doesn't understand programming Aug 01 01:05:09 $ git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/enyo/lumberjack Aug 01 01:05:09 Cloning into lumberjack... Aug 01 01:05:09 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Aug 01 01:05:20 oil, we can just make different color themes for wirc Aug 01 01:05:25 YES Aug 01 01:05:26 and get like 30 belts Aug 01 01:05:28 I heard today that any bluetooth keyboard will work with touchpad. I wonder if a bluetooth mouse might get supported. Aug 01 01:05:32 lol Aug 01 01:05:42 "we have all the belts!" Aug 01 01:05:53 in Win7/cygwin, OSX/cli and OSX/Tower Aug 01 01:05:54 gimme back my belt! Aug 01 01:06:04 all your belts belong to us Aug 01 01:06:16 tagline material Aug 01 01:06:19 haha Aug 01 01:09:48 rwatkins: .git on the end of that url Aug 01 01:09:49 all your belts belong to us Aug 01 01:09:52 shit Aug 01 01:10:00 soo many windows open Aug 01 01:10:28 $ git clone git://git.webos-internals.org/enyo/lumberjack.git Aug 01 01:10:28 Cloning into lumberjack... Aug 01 01:10:28 fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Aug 01 01:10:42 Tibfib: you have seen the "qualified apps" terminology in the requirements, right? Aug 01 01:10:56 yes Aug 01 01:11:04 that doesn't make it much better. Aug 01 01:11:43 Just depends on what they're willing to consider a qualified app. Aug 01 01:11:48 if they actually follow through on the "qualified" part, which is yet to be seen, then the only people that will qualify is big companies Aug 01 01:11:53 indie devs are screwed Aug 01 01:12:05 no one can actually have 10+ "quality" apps Aug 01 01:12:15 who is working by themselves Aug 01 01:12:19 * twbbas may have 6 qualifying apps. Probably not though. Aug 01 01:14:28 Tibfib: sure you can Aug 01 01:14:28 Tibfib: I always figured that it was also going to include stuff like working with webos-internals on patches, etc too. Aug 01 01:14:39 if you're a full time indie developer, you can get 10 apps Aug 01 01:14:51 if you're a hobbyist, then do you really expect black-belt level support? Aug 01 01:15:27 SineOt: exactly the type of thing you would discuss in private with them to get discretion Aug 01 01:16:27 rwhitby: yeah, I know they'd never publicly admit to that and assuming they would is kind of dumb Aug 01 01:17:47 Public requirements always have to be strict, so you don't get people just writing fart apps to get cheap hardware. Aug 01 01:18:09 If you're on a team of 10 people that wrote something on the scale of Angry Birds, you'll get proper support. If you wrote one fart app, you'll get very little. These are clearly just "guidelines". Aug 01 01:18:11 I would expect private consideration comes into play for those who are actually valuable people in the community. Aug 01 01:18:37 Of course they can't say publicly that there is private consideration. Aug 01 01:19:11 * SineOt writes Fart App Lite, Fart App Plus, Fart App Pro, Fart App Ultimate, and Fart App Special Edition. Then releases HD versions of all of the above. 10 apps! :U Aug 01 01:19:19 You have to approach it with a sense of your own worth, and an assumption that the goal of the program is actually to help people who are worthwhile. Aug 01 01:19:40 Then you discuss in private any areas where you do not meet the official guidelines. Aug 01 01:19:44 rwhitby: yeah, I figure that stating it's "qualifying" and therefore bringing in the subjective nature is as close as they can come to saying it publicly Aug 01 01:20:00 I suspect ever person who is currently complaining has not actually had a discussion with Palm about it. Aug 01 01:20:11 s/ever/every/ Aug 01 01:20:24 rwatkins: try that URL again now Aug 01 01:20:44 rwhitby: tada! whatever broke you just fixed. Aug 01 01:21:07 count one for those people that keep the systems up and running day after day. Aug 01 01:21:07 rwatkins: we still had NDA restrictions in place on the repo Aug 01 01:21:09 I haven't had a discussion with Palm because I haven't been contacted yet. And just tells me that he'll look into it :( Aug 01 01:21:14 ah Aug 01 01:23:04 NuttyBunny: you're expecting them to contact you? Aug 01 01:24:14 rwhitby: I tend to do that, be patient. Of course at work they've missed two payments with a promised raise ... *sigh* Aug 01 01:24:31 I assume I'll nag everyone tomorrow ;) Aug 01 01:24:49 NuttyBunny: unless you have one of the top ten download stats, that ain't gonna happen. Aug 01 01:25:04 or you have a top ten app on another platform Aug 01 01:26:01 you need to realise there are probably tens of thousands of webOS developers signed up, and they have no way other than download stats and personal relationships for you to stand out from the crowd. Aug 01 01:27:35 that's actually non-encouraging ;) but yes, you're right, we have no idea of the number of developers right now asking for stuff Aug 01 01:40:32 rwhitby: as I recall, Palm told us to contact them, and then when we did, they said they'd get back to us Aug 01 01:40:46 within 15 business days Aug 01 01:42:32 http://twitter.com/#!/joshuatopolsky/status/97827590341005312 Aug 01 01:43:42 uh, a few more days please. Aug 01 01:44:36 * rwatkins still has to submit app w/ fixes for 3.0.2. So yea, very much ok if OTA doesnt go out tomorrow. Aug 01 01:44:51 what broke? Aug 01 01:45:38 they changed the html structure of a ToggleButton. I was using CSS to style those. Aug 01 01:45:44 haeffb: yes, if someone has actually contacted them, then they are on the hook. Aug 01 01:46:17 so .. broke. buttons halfway off the screen on one page. Fixed CSS to ... not break and only work on 3.0.2 style toggle buttons. Aug 01 01:47:17 component model is good "you should not need to know about the implementation" but that makes styling not really possible. Aug 01 01:49:59 rwhitby: I know of 2 people who already got contacted by Palm and have their "belts" (brown and green) Aug 01 01:54:07 my 15 days was up Friday. Aug 01 01:54:11 haven't had a response Aug 01 01:58:38 My 15 days is up tomorrow or Tuesday Aug 01 02:00:56 was *anyone* contacted within 15 days? Aug 01 02:02:52 I think I was Aug 01 02:03:23 I was told 5-10 more days on july 13th Aug 01 02:03:55 my 15 days were up on thursday Aug 01 02:04:37 I just hope my dev rel guy isn't the same as before... Aug 01 02:04:57 too sloooooooooow :) Aug 01 02:07:06 I refuse to use the Pane method for setting preferences. I'll just use popups Aug 01 02:09:19 cuz thats what users like - constant guessing on how the ui will react between apps. Aug 01 02:09:54 I don't know the context, but that's a fabulously sarcastic line Aug 01 02:10:21 < NuttyBunny> I refuse to use the Pane method for setting preferences. Aug 01 02:10:21 I'll just use popups Aug 01 02:10:54 welp Aug 01 02:11:46 rwatkins: They expect to tap the menu, then tap preferences, then set the preferences and close the window that appeared (perhaps with a "Save" button) Aug 01 02:11:57 will work great when you port that app to smaller screen dimensions too .. popups will look rad on a pre3 or a 7" tablet. Aug 01 02:12:19 rwatkins: They do indeed :D Aug 01 02:12:55 sure there is often a great argument for why something different is the better way. but consistency has its own value. Aug 01 02:14:06 but hey, its your app, so party on. Aug 01 02:14:49 I don't even know what the pane method for setting prefs is Aug 01 02:15:25 it's like just another scene, isnt it? Aug 01 02:15:49 most webos apps navigate to a full pane view to set preferences, the navigate back on "done". Aug 01 02:17:01 though not .. SpazHD. :) Aug 01 02:17:28 weird Aug 01 02:17:34 yeah Spaz HD does what it wants Aug 01 02:18:27 its likely a UX convention thats just a holdover that was pretty much necessary on the Pre resolutions. Aug 01 02:19:16 the over all consistency and UX quality of webOS has gone down with 3.x though. :/ Aug 01 02:20:14 rwatkins: There's a reason for me to doing it that way. My app is A MESS and it will take me some time to reorganize it, just for a single preferences screen Aug 01 02:20:46 but yes, the consistency went down the drain with 3.x :S Aug 01 02:21:11 is opt-tap consistent? Aug 01 02:21:39 in <= 2.x, you could do orange+tap, meta-tap + tap, hold-tap... etc Aug 01 02:21:46 for different things Aug 01 02:21:50 it was ridiculous Aug 01 02:22:03 I have two preference screens - one Toaster that is for the visual stuff so you see immediate feedback as the UI chages, and a full pane one for all of them together. Aug 01 02:22:42 without a hard keyboard, thats a bit harder to determine. Aug 01 02:22:52 it should just be hold Aug 01 02:23:12 dbl tap is annoying Aug 01 02:23:14 i like hold as well. but its not easily user discoverable. Aug 01 02:23:23 rwatkins: neither are any other options Aug 01 02:23:37 it's for nonessential, "power user" options Aug 01 02:24:05 well, I guess they are essential, eventually. but if it becomes consistent, "hold for more options" people will try it out Aug 01 02:24:27 ya Aug 01 02:24:59 I only set 2 preferences, so a really small popup should be fine Aug 01 02:25:12 really want to submit app update tonight. please let me find no more bugs. Aug 01 02:25:22 In fact, I could do with a menu with checkmarks ;) Aug 01 02:26:42 WE DO WHAT WE WANT Aug 01 02:27:07 * Tibfib fist pumps Aug 01 02:28:15 we do what our messy code lets us do! :D Aug 01 02:29:19 man, the Air makes the MacBook Pro look clunky Aug 01 02:29:55 argh.. I'm beat. I won't finish this today. gtg.. bbl :) Aug 01 02:46:00 Anyone do a Mojo app submission just recently? I'm trying to upload a new app and the scanner is kicking out a minimum of 3.0.0 for my app when I include the "uiRevision: 2" line in the appinfo.json (even after I use the "--use-v1-format" option while packaging). When I remove that line, I get a minimum of 1.0.0. Aug 01 02:47:14 appsotutely: https://developer.palm.com/distribution/viewtopic.php?f=90&t=16703 Aug 01 02:48:33 akanster: thanks for the link! Aug 01 02:48:51 appsotutely: I did a PHD update the other week with uiRevision:2 and min 1.0.0 Aug 01 02:50:46 rwhitby: do you have the date for that last update? I didn't have this problem when I did my 7/4/2011 update for Slide RSS. Aug 01 02:51:46 appsotutely: July 1st Aug 01 02:52:02 so they've broken it again since then Aug 01 02:53:22 Has anyone done a recent update in the time period since the problem started (seems like around 7/23 when shanosullivan reported the issue in akanster's link)? Aug 01 02:54:59 might as well bump the thread Aug 01 02:55:27 I presume this is the go to channel for webos discussion on freenode? Aug 01 02:55:36 Will do. It looks like I either have to submit with the 3.0.0 minimum and probably be stuck with only TP-sized screenshots or submit without "uiRevision: 2" and not get full-screen TP compatibility. Aug 01 02:56:17 natemcintyre: indeed it is Aug 01 02:56:34 any other channels related to webOS development that I should be aware of? Aug 01 02:56:42 #webos-internals Aug 01 02:56:51 but stuff for app catalog is in here Aug 01 02:56:55 k Aug 01 02:57:00 thanks rwhitby Aug 01 02:57:08 and webos-watercooler for OT stuff Aug 01 02:57:19 orly? I didn't know that existed Aug 01 02:57:48 FYI, the topic in that room says it moved to #mobile-watercooler Aug 01 02:58:28 even better **** ENDING LOGGING AT Mon Aug 01 02:59:57 2011
