Software / Good Spreadsheet Application For Sl-c3000?
« on: July 21, 2005, 12:24:56 am »
Thanks for the feedback Daniel. I've been contemplating purchasing it, especially at the price they have it available for. I use a lot of word docs in my notes, and while Hancom does a decent job I wouldn't mind having a tool that does a better one.

Just by chance have you noticed whether or not it warns you or balks at opening larger files as much as Hancom Word does?

Thanks!

Here are the lnies that are mapping FN+N and FN+M to { and }

Code: [Select]








0x7b is the unicode number for { and 0x7d is for }. You can download the unicode charts from http://www.unicode.org/charts/

It appears that keyhelper doesn't care if you use the raw ascii or the unicode for the map code.

The direct link to keyhelperconf ipk is http://tbox.jpn.org/misc/dl.cgi?file=keyhe...0.3.0-1_arm.ipk

The application is very very easy to use and is in English too

Good Luck

C1000/3x00 Hardware / Exchanged Microdrive With Flash Card (c3000)
« on: July 19, 2005, 01:28:39 am »
I take it from the pictures you showed of the C1K that the connector for the microdrive is not present? Too bad that! Wouldn't it be nice to have a 4Gb CF card internally, and a 6Gb microdrive in the CF slot, along with a 1Gb SD card? Can you imagine that? 11Gb in the palm of your hand on a Linux COMPUTER? I love the tech age

C1000/3x00 General discussions / Sandisk 2gb Sd Card Mounting Problem
« on: July 19, 2005, 01:14:24 am »
FWIW I'm using an Ultra Sandisk 1Gb SD card with no problems on my C1k. Plug and play so I think that would make it vfat (FAT32)?

I have a Kingston CF reader that worked just fine with my 6K, as well as a Sandisk SD card reader that worked with the 6K as well. Haven't tried either with the C1K because it's so easy to just attach the Z to my laptop to read my microdrive, and my laptop also has an SD slot so I don't need the card readers to read either card on my laptop.

These don't answer your original question stbrock, but thought they might be of value. Good luck finding the answer to your question. If you do, and could share it, I for one would appreciate it. A geek can not have to much RAM, or storage space....

gdog

As usual Stu you're a fountain of knowledge. It's been a long day so I'm gonna be lazy and not go upstairs to get me Z and show you a copy of my keyhelper.xml file, but I did a search in it for { and }, and came up empty in both cases. So unless Trisoft used codes I can't tell you where they're mapped or how.

As for keyhelperconf I'd love to have it, but unfortunately the link you provided bring me to a Japanese site, and I'm uni-lingual    ie clueless when it comes to Japanese.

I've got another question for you (I always have lots of questions don't I?). I recently plugged a USB keyboard into my C1K and noticed that the keymappings were identical, such as the apostrophe being a shift +7 on the usb kb. So if I remap things on the Z, will those changes be reflected on the usb keyboard do you think?

I'll try your remap of the / and , in my /home/zaurua/Settings/keyhelper.xml file. At least that will tell me if I'm changing the file that the Z is actually using. Come to think of it I should see a start link to the khctl script somewhere in one of my rc directories shouldn't I? Otherwise I may not even be using the file that is there...

Thanks!

Stu,
I couldn't wait and went upstairs and got my Z and typed in your changes longhand, and they worked just fine. So I figured the least I could do was provide you with a copy of my keyhelper.xml file for your perusal.

Thank you very much. My coding will be much easier now!!!

remove the lines in your keyhelper.xml file that looks like this

Code: [Select]

            
            
            
        

        
            
            
            
        

or stop using keyhelper all together

You must do a lot of writing, rather than console or scripting, to want the comma instead of the / by default. I'm the other way and hate to have to use space to get /

Hi Stu,
Do you know where I could lay my hands on the list of which keys of my C1K correspond to the define, map, Fxx, and unicode codes and keys?

I don't read Japanese at all so the links in your otherwise helpful document aren't helpful to me. But I'd sure like to know how to change some of the keys on my Z. In particular, I like you would rather shift to get the comma than the /. And I'm also at a loss to undertand how to get all of the / , and ` chars to appear. Of course I can get the / and , but the backtick on my Z requires a Shift + Fn +@, while there appears to be a perfectly good `, yet unusable one on the same key as the / and ,.  
And finally, even though it does not appear to be mapped in my keyhelper.xml file, my { is mapped to Fn + N while my } is mapped to my Fn + M. Not a big deal that, but it kind of makes me think that there's more to keyhelper than meets the eye ;o)

Thanks,

gdog

Software / Mime Types Handling On The Zaurus
« on: July 17, 2005, 08:51:24 pm »
In addition to all of the good information above Daniel make sure the permissions on your files allow you to save the settings you make in Opera. I use a root account for a lot of what I do on my Z and if memory serves I ended up creating a situation where the files were owned by root but when running Opera as zaurus the changes would not "stick". I changed them to be wide open, and from that point on my settings stayed intact.

Hello,

is there a good alternative to Hancom Sheet? Hancom has its disadvantages, which makes it inconvenient to use (e.g. zoom mode is not saved on exit, no recent files list, no macro support...

So I would be interested in an alternative; preferaly a QTopia graphical application, but I culd also use a console program, as I'm used to use Lotus 1-2-3 on a 200LX. ;-)
...
Thank you

I feel your pain Daniel. A spreadsheeet app on par with what Softmaker claims Textmaker to be would truly make the Z a viable laptop replacement imho.

Have you tried TextMaker from Softmaker yet? Is it all they claim it is?

FWIW, a week or even two is not an extraordinarily long time to wait, especially if they are having your unit dropped shipped, or they didn't have one in stock and are waiting on it to arrive at their location before they localize it for you (if that's part of the service they provide). All companies sometimes face these "challenges". I ordered some accessories from Streamline and while it took awhile, they warned me up front that the charger I ordered would have to be special ordered, but offered to ship the adapters first. I chose to wait on the entire  order, and so it took a little longer (about 14 days), but Stephen provided updates regularly, and so should your contact with Chase. Other than that, patience is must a because we are after all ordering these things via the grey market, and most vendors will not stock large numbers of them or their accessories. Hence we wait.

Just my $.02

I think I've found out why some entries are duplicated while others are not, on importing from Outlook.  The duplicated entries all contain one or more spaces at the end of the subject or note section.  I think KOPi is stripping the spaces on saving the file, then when the file is opened the entries appear to be different to the imported data, giving rise to the duplication.

Cheers,

Dan

FWIW, and admittedly this could just be user error on my part, every device I've ever had on which I tried to sync with outlook, beyond the initial "import" of data, has resulted in duplicate entries. And I've had everything from a Palm to PPC to HPC to Linux. I don't even try anymore. Big loss of functionality, and also a duplication of effort when having to store my appt's in both places manually, but I don't even store contacts in Outlook anymore. That's partially because I don't trust outlook to keep the info from the prying eyes of the bad guys, but also because I don't want to take the time to enter it in both places manually, so I just keep contacts in my handheld.  Generally, and this is just my opinion, M$ apps do not play well with other apps in the schoolyard....

I bought two of these are Target for $5.99 each and added velcro to one and snaps to the other. I posted them in another thread but here they are again....They are actually intended to be used for index cards.

tms,
You're welcome. If you use velcro with the extra strength adhesive on the outside of the case be careful. I was trying to remove some of the 3 inch strip I originally installed and ended up peeling part of the material which the case is made of, off. I went to target today and picked up another one. I think I'll go back tomorrow and look for the smaller wallet that you mentioned, as I have a couple of extra cards and also an extra battery. It would be nice to have a matching accessory container.  

Off topic, but what kind of CF wifi card are you using, and what ROM are you running if you don't mind me asking? Did you have to install drivers or tweak the kernel in any way?

Thanks,

Software / Temporarily Disable Suspend On Close
« on: July 15, 2005, 01:29:03 am »

I'd be very interested in an applet or something like that to easily disable the "suspend on screen close" feature.

How often do I start a task like compiling or searching or whatever and I want to close the screen to takt the Z with me but let the Z continue its work without first going into setting / light and power to disable the suspend.

Is there an easy solution?

The most convenient solution would of course be to include a button for that in the combinedbatteryapplet by Maslovsky.. <hint> ;-]

I got my C1K in a trade for my 6K. And it seems to me that before I reflashed the NAND there were two choices under the Second tab of Light and Power. One was suspend on lid close and the other was Turn off Display on lid close. But after I rerflashed with a new NAND the second choice of the second tab is now Suspend on Network Connection, which makes no sense at all to me....

Not trying to hijack your thread Daniel, but am trying to show that different English translations and/or NAND builds might have something to help you in what you are looking for. I'm not sure what my original NAND image was, but at this point I'm running the trisoft version.
