Off Topic forum / Sharp's Latest Product - A Robot Smartphone!

« on: January 14, 2016, 04:18:38 am »

Sharp is about to release a new smartphone - not a classic one, this one is shaped as a robot!

http://www.engadget.com/2015/10/05/roboho-...-only-in-japan/

It has voice and face recognition, speech synthesis, animated arms and legs and an built-in projector. The price has yet to be announced, I'm curious to know how much it will cost, what is sure is that it's damn cute

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Announcing Zgrom 0.1

That's bad... I hope that you'll anyway manage to find them . At least the binaries can still be downloaded from the repository, although they might disappear at any moment without notice. I have downloaded them. It might be a good idea to store them in a public file repository, if you agree that is  Together maybe with other Z ROMs, so that they won't get lost.

Thanks anyway for the answer.

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Announcing Zgrom 0.1

« on: January 11, 2016, 06:26:12 am »

Hi,

Google Code is unfortunately closing down, and starting from this month it is not possible to browse the source code or download any file from any project hosted there. The only operation still allowed is an automatic export to Github. I have done a search on the whole forum and zgrom seems to be the only Z-related project hosted there.

I have seen that a first import of zgrom to Github has been already done some month ago, but unfortunately the repository contans no code:

https://github.com/static-void/zgrom

It would be a pity to lose all the source code of this nice ROM... I have now contacted the author via mail (I don't know if he still visits the forum), I hope that this will be eventually sorted out.

@danboid: This might be interesting for you too for the SDL code

Zaurus - Arch Linux ARM support / Archlinuxarm On C3x00

« on: November 29, 2015, 02:27:08 am »

Hi all,

many thanks for porting Arch Linux, I'll try it on my Z as soon as I have some free time. Has anybody tried it on a C1000?

Thanks for the update, the "browse via arrow keys" has been for me the most useful addition. I'll have a high school reunion this evening, I'll bring my Zaurus there to show some photos using your program

I hope I'll soon find the time to check for the slideshow functionality on my Nikon.

Hi, thanks for the feedback.

I already started work on the next version of December but at the moment I can't spend a lot of time on it.

I've already implemented half of the mechanism for a progress indicator. This will be shown while waiting for the grid view to load and when the photo is being scaled for full screen mode.

That's nice, looking forward to it.

I plan to implement a basic slideshow function. At first, it will just be full screen mode with forward/back and a timer. In the future I would like to support the DPOF standard. It has a slideshow function called "Autoplay". The idea for autoplay is that you choose the photos you like on your camera and then you can transfer the memory card to a projector and watch a slideshow without needing a computer.

If you have a camera that can create slideshows, a file will be created on your memory card at /MISC/AUTPLAYn.MRK. I don't know the format of this file; if your camera can create slideshows then please send me a copy of this file and I will try to support it.

I have two cameras, an older Kodak Easyshare and a Samsung PL170. I have studied their functions, but so far I have been unable to find a way to generate the AUTPLAYn.MRK file you mention on both cameras.

Kodak Easyshare:
I have seen that the DPOF standard has been patented by Kodak, but still my Easyshare camera seems to not be able to generate it; this page seems to confirm that Easyshare cameras don't handle this type of file. The only files I could make were AUTPRINT.MRK (via the Printing function) and FAVORITE.MRK (via Favourites). The camera has a Slideshow function, but after starting it it doesn't generate any file, nor it has a function to choose which photos to show.

Samsung PL170:
It has a menu called DPOF, but it generates an AUTPRINT.MRK file only. It has a Slideshow function too, but it behaves like the one on the Kodak camera. Searching for "autoplay" in its PDF manual didn't produce any result.

I have also a Nikon D50 which supports DPOF, I'll try with it and I'll let you know the results.

December <- DCIMbr <- Digital Camera Image BRowser

Nice idea

Hi,

I have installed and tried your program, I like it! It's fast and intuitive, now my Zaurus is even more useful than before. I'll use it too to check the photos done by my camera. I'd have a couple of feature requests:
- it would be nice if it would be possible to switch between the photos using the cursor keys also when in full screen mode
- again in full screen mode, a small icon, overlayed on the displayed photo and indicating that the photo is loading would be handy.

BTW why is it called that way?
