Zaurus Port Of Treeline, Out the door Options

[zenyatta]

Hi all,

I started working on a Zaurus port of the fine TreeLine outliner early last year but later got distracted. I haven't touched it in about 7 months now and it isn't really ready for a release but I do use it daily and absolutely can't do without it, despite the bugs. As I have trouble finding the time to finish it, I have decided to release it in its crude present state. Either someone will pick it up or enough users will find it promising enough to nag me into activity Or maybe it won't interest anyone, which is fine. In any case, it is there, on my homepage.

Cheers,
z.

Episode 6 - A real problem...

The only thing I've found that is not workable on the Z is the "Configure Data Types" dialog in its present state.

The top and bottom parts are off-screen, along with a couple of fields and the OK/Cancel buttons...

On my 760 the Cancel button on the keyboard dismisses the dialog, but the OK button does not validate it. So as far as I can tell, you can't *define* a new record type directly on the Zaurus version.

Of course, you can run the app on your desktop PC too (Windows/Linux), so you can organize your data types there, then copy over the .trl file(s), so that doesn't mean you can't put treeline to good use on the Z !

Maybe someone familiar wih Qt/QPE could turn that dialog into a vertically scrolling one like the General Options above ?

Thanks to Zenyatta for making his port available !

If there's something specific anyone wants tried/tested/checked, just ask...

Enjoy,

I'm not familiar with Python, so I'm not even going to try and fix the problem. Just curious, though - Have you tried rotating the screen? That may bring the dialog buttons into view.
