#rockbox log for 2007-04-08

00:00:54AceNiklike the ones included in sorry to say this if u feel offended , angryman's build , the multifont , userfont, album art, etc
00:01:23LloreanAceNik: Those ones all have reasons NOT to include them, discussed in the tracker
00:01:54LloreanAceNik: If you'd like to improve the patches up to a state where they're able to be committed, then they can be considered.
00:02:26AceNikLlorean : i did read they have some unstable codes & stuff
00:02:59 Quit bluey- ("Leaving")
00:03:04LloreanAceNik: Not just a lack of stability. Several other things as well. But, for example, why shoudl we introduce known unstable code into SVN, let alone code that doesn't meet the other requirements we set of it?
00:04:50AceNikLlorean: h10smoothscroll2.diff, sokoban.patch, plugin-backlight_070303.patch, starfield_pulse.patch, calculator_tan.patch , pong_multi_pulse.patch, vlimit.patch, these seem to be workin perfect no glitches
00:05:45bluebrother"working perfect no glitches" includes all other targets too?
00:05:51 Quit vanberge ("Leaving")
00:05:54bluebrotheror only your specific player?
00:06:23LloreanAceNik: As I said, "seem to be working perfectly" is not the only condition for inclusion.
00:06:40AceNikok i agree they do not meet rockbox requirements , but the authors or developers can sit & work around a little on them , only if we talk about it often & stuff , like the tokenizer path was done in a jiffy
00:06:42bluebrother"seem" is always bad in this area ;-)
00:07:03LloreanAceNik: The tokenizer patch was done by someone who has SVN access, and as well, someone who came in here and talked about his own patch.
00:07:19Bagderand it was not done in "in a jiffy"
00:07:20AceNikok sorry , your the bosses
00:07:26LloreanAceNik: If the authors of the patches don't seem to care about fixing them, why should any of us do it for them?
00:07:32bluebrotherand it was a good approach, not just adding some feature someone wants.
00:07:48LloreanIf a patch is valuable, it'll get included, but only if it catches the notice of someone who's willing to spend the time fixing it up if it needs fixing
00:08:10AceNikya i agreee , it helped a lot
00:08:57bluebrotherfeel free to convince the patch authors to fix their patches ;-)
00:11:26AceNikis there a spare team or someone who doesnt mind workin with more people , i agree im not an expert at coding , but some team to work on a few patches if they do not mind just doing it , well isnt it much better making rockbox more perfect , well this might seem rubbish but , i love this stuff , i just see so many pathes in the request zone , i myself made a request but they dont seem to decrease in number , that
00:12:13LloreanAceNik: Most people ARE working on things
00:12:22LloreanLook at the changelog, there are updates daily.
00:12:32LloreanThey'd have to stop working on things THEY think is important, to work on other things.
00:12:42LloreanWhich is why in general patch authors should work on their own patches, not try to hand it off to someone else
00:13:33AceNiki know , im askin if there are spare people , i browse the progress like every hour, i dont have contacts with ny developers or anyone in india to help me with stuff , i would seriously like to help how much ever possible
00:14:40desowingoing and bugging isn't way of helping imo
00:14:52Bagderthere are no "spare" people
00:15:00Bagdereveryone who's in is in, the others are out
00:15:25Bagdereveryone spends what time they can and want to spend on the project, doing what they feel like
00:15:53Bagderif you think there are areas that need attention, then please go there and help out
00:16:54AceNikok , then , can you guys help me with codes , to fix patches , or can someone be like a godfather kinda stuff for guiing me with stuff , im at base 1 on a level of 1-5, i know c, c++, more of c
00:17:32AceNikguiding
00:18:49Bagdersure, ask specific questions and I'm sure we can assist
00:19:39AceNikok ome of them are gonn be really dumb you sure i can ue the irc for that , can i like use a messenger
00:19:49 Part JavaMan22
00:19:59desowinask specific questions and everyone will be happy
00:20:10Bagderwell, if you want to ask us, then the IRC channel, the mailing list(s) or the forum are the ways
00:21:01AceNikalrite , got it , give me time ill come up with something , till the cu, 10q all of you !!!!!!

00:21:33desowinuse real english if you can, slang isn't cool
00:22:29AceNikwell sorry most of it is typing error
00:22:36Llorean"10q" is hardly typing error
00:23:11bluebrotherwriting sentences over 5 lines is also quite hard to read.
00:23:15AceNikbut i thought that was irc lingo
00:24:02LloreanThere's a strong preference for "real words" over "lingo" here.
00:24:32bluebrotherwriting short and clear is also clearly preferred instead of spaghetti sentences
00:24:59amiconnBagder: Do you have an idea why the build system sometimes fails to catch commits?
00:25:03AceNiksorry !!!!!!!!!!!
00:25:06markunAceNik: I think some patches would be in svn by now if more of the authors came here to discuss them
00:25:11Bagderamiconn: like when?
00:25:17amiconnThey show up on the front page eventually, but they don't trigger a build
00:25:28amiconnHappenend twice for me within the last 2 days (!)
00:25:34*bluebrother remembers a german sentence regarding multiple exclamation marks ...
00:25:57markunAceNik: maybe you can convince them that's a good idea?
00:26:08amiconnThe second one was 7 Apr 00:14Jens Arnold uisimulator/common/io.c (still on the front page)
00:27:17AceNikmarkun: ill try , but what if most of them cant fix it , since the recet changes sometimes makes it totally difficult

00:29:59AceNikmarkun : just would prefer to talk on messenger sometimes
00:30:43markundesowin, AceNik: just keeping these features as patches which need updating all the time is not the right way to do it, don't you agree?
00:30:54markunAceNik: I prefer to just talk here
00:30:57bluebrotheramiconn: "Mehrere Ausrufezeichen machen den Ausrufenden nicht ausrufender sondern nur ausufernder"
00:31:13desowinmarkun: yes, but I said " if you can't improve them more"
00:31:16amiconnhehe
00:31:21bluebrother;-)
00:31:23amiconnDidn't know that one yet...
00:31:36bluebrotherAceNik, dev talk happens here. Either come here or miss it ...
00:32:13markunAceNik, desowin: I think the features should be discussed in here more.

00:35:59markunbut I understand it's easier to just make a quick hack to rockbox to support some feature

00:38:34AceNikmarkun : tell me one thing , i open up any file suppose a plugin.c to edit , how do i know whether the code is compiling with rockbox, like patching is fine , but so many times the patching is done but stuff doesnt work , is there another way
00:38:44amiconnSlasheri: Hmm, now shutdown-while-scanning works, but then dircache does a foreground rescan
00:39:26amiconnThis is quite nasty with my test case (102,000 files, dircache size after scan ~5.7MB, scanning takes >60 sec)
00:43:32amiconnBagder: Hmm. The other one was 7 Apr 15:31Jens Arnold apps/tree.c btw
00:43:35bluebrotherAceNik, what "other way" are you looking for? There is command line output, read it.
00:43:55amiconnSo it happened twice within < 16 hours...
00:43:55bluebrotherit has everything that is necessary to determine if it compiled fine.
00:44:10markunAceNik: I'm not sure what you are asking
00:44:38markunyou want to know how you can tell if a patch failed?
00:47:20AceNikmarkun: for instance i have a patch that i have patched to the svn , it said its done successfully , but whe the build is complete , it doest function, so is there a way before compiling that i can test the patched file first
00:48:55bluebrothertry it in the sim.
00:49:11markunbut that doesn't work with hardware specific features of course
00:49:20markunand you still have to build it
00:49:42markunI'm still not sure what kind of test you are looking for
00:50:03nicolahrockbox rocks
00:50:05markunif the patch is working and patch doesn't complain, that I can't see how it sometimes doesn't work
00:50:08nicolahthanks a lot guys
00:50:09markunnicolah: yes :)
00:50:32AceNikmarkun: ya i want to cath this thing before doing a build , like is there a compiler so checking the codes , like how , traditional c compilers check
00:50:32nicolahafter messing up a lot with ipod I was able to restore it and to install rockbox
00:51:10markunAceNik: sorry, I can't follow you. Maybe someone else can help.
00:51:33LloreanAceNik: There's no way for a compiler to tell whether code will or won't do what you expect it to do.

00:52:40bluebrotherAceNik, you can compile code if it has the correct syntax. There is no way telling how exactly that code will behave unless you test it
00:53:03bluebrotherthis is the reason why software has bugs, as otherwise you would know in advantage where the problems are
00:53:18AceNikok
00:53:30bluebrotherthe compiler can do some checks (and it does that) but it won't catch if you e.g. write an endless loop
00:53:59bluebrotherIf you want to code learn coding itself instead of solving problems that can't be solved.
00:54:22bluebrothermaking these kind of errors also teaches you something
00:54:45bluebrotherwe all went through that learning process.
00:55:04AceNikwell can anyone advice if i were to start now , where can i start & with what , i know how to build n patch , like which area of rockbox can i devote time to
00:55:21bluebrotherthis depends entirely on you.
00:55:55bluebrotherlike, what do you want to change, what is your current state of programming knowledge, how much time do you want to spent ...
00:58:06AceNiki would like to firstly start integrating the userfont & multi font path & cutom list x&y of the menu path work , cause this works out very well in making a wps , i made one , its looking so good, & functions perfect
00:58:38AceNiki have big font in the menu , browser, different fonts in the wps
00:58:58LloreanAceNik: Then find out what's preventing those from being included (by reading discussion of it on the patch tracker, for example) and attempt to solve those problems.
00:59:33bluebrotherAceNik, start with small things
00:59:36AceNikwell or i can completly make differet patches for it , where a user can choose how the x, y of the menu should be , & also the browser font & wps font can alo be choosed
01:00
01:00:10bluebrotherdo you know enough of Rockbox code to simply "do" such new patches?
01:00:21markunAceNik: I also have some ideas for the font support, maybe we can discuss it a bit together?
01:00:21bluebrotherIf not be aware that this might consume quite some time.
01:00:54AceNikfrankly speaking no , thats why i ask where to bein , i have time on my hands , just tell me where to devote
01:01:14bluebrotherthen start with simple things. Like create your own plugin
01:01:28bluebrotherwriting a plugin is a often used start.
01:01:30 Quit ender` (" Something else worth re-stating is that ACE stinks. Really badly. Like a baboon's ass stuffed with burning tyres. Even Tar i)
01:01:45AceNikmarkun: markun , anytime buddy , u taught me to build a build perfectly
01:02:05markunoh, didn't realise that :)
01:02:26bluebrothermarkun, what have you done! ;-)
01:02:47markunAceNik: do you get my PM's?
01:03:16AceNikok ill learn how to write a plugin tommorow , markun: when did u write ?
01:03:46bluebrotherhe refers to a PM in IRC. It should open in a new tab in cgi::irc
01:04:19markunAceNik: it's a separate IRC window to chat in private
01:04:35AceNikmarkun: no i dont , havent made an account on the irc
01:04:42markunyou don't need to
01:04:50bluebrotherAceNik, get yourself a favor and get a decent irc client. This cgi::irc is a pain.
01:05:12markunAceNik: you should see a separate tab with my messages..
01:05:23bluebrotheryou only need to be registered to be able sending PMs, but markun is registered so he can start that private conversation
01:05:45AceNiksuggest a decent irc client?
01:05:58bluebrotherand IRC doesn't have accounts. freenode has this thing which gives you the possiblilty of registering
01:06:04markunand my account is configured to receive from unregistered nicks
01:06:11bluebrotherI use xchat if I want a graphical client.
01:06:21***Saving seen data "./dancer.seen"
01:06:24bluebrotherothers prefer hydrairc or mirc.
01:06:26markunAceNik: do you use windows?
01:06:55bluebrotherall of them run on windows, xchat on linux too.

01:10:25funkhow do you sync music while using rockbox
01:10:38funktrying to figure out the best approach
01:10:53*bluebrother hates xchat requires me to type this stupid pipe sign for that completion to work
01:11:03|Rincewind|I kind of have to know it, since it is the character of my nick who says it in the book ^^
01:11:04bast1i have at the moment the problem that my pc doesnt recognize my sansa
01:11:34bast1just the usb symbol on the display on my sansa
01:11:37bast1....
01:11:41funkwell
01:11:43*markun says good night to all
01:11:44Lloreanbast1: You need to boot into the original firmware.
01:11:44bluebrotherwhy does irssi handle it nicely while xchat doesn't? Stupid client.
01:11:52funkthey say you have to boot the sansa firmware
01:11:55funkthen use usb
01:11:55Lloreanfunk: Any program that will sync to a UMS/MSC device will work fine.
01:12:09bast1ok... i will try
01:12:13funkhmm
01:12:26funkyou cannot boot the sansa firmware
01:12:33funkthen switch it to mtp mode for syncing?

01:14:56funk you're still haveing the prob with your pc not recongnizing the sansa right?
01:15:03bast1right
01:15:12Lloreanfunk: Many programs will sync with MSC, including MediaMonkey.
01:15:17funk it's actually explained well in the manual. To make your pc recognixze your sansa
01:15:26bluebrotherfreenode allows you to ask for dropping a registration if it's unused for a while
01:15:27bast1where?
01:15:28funkyou have to boot the sansa software. to do this
01:15:28Lloreanfunk: Most programs that sync to it in MTP mode should work as well as long as they don't transcode files to an unsupported by rockbox format
01:15:37funkwhen your sansa is turning on
01:15:41funkhold the >> button
01:15:51bast1which page?

01:16:08funklet me find it for u

01:16:40bluebrother(and hadn't used freenode for over a year that time)

08:53:47LloreanSulo_Seppa: iPodPatcher will replace their bootloader with ours. It won't prevent iPL from loading, but the process will be slightly different.
08:54:17Sulo_SeppaSo, what exactly will happen then?
08:55:17LloreanYou'll have our bootloader instead of Loader 2.

08:57:19casper34is there a way to add a boot menu for apple and rockbox
08:57:24LloreanSulo_Seppa: If you have a new enough Loader2 it'll work right with Rockbox, and the Rockbox loader can be used to load iPL, though it requires an extra step.

08:59:19casper34i dont need ipod linux just want a boot loader
08:59:40scorchecasper34: then read the manual
08:59:47amiconnThe old lcd even has some icons predefined (like musical note, little loudspeaker etc), and they can also be mapped as soft chars. We already do this for the browser

09:00:41scorchewww.rockbox.org
09:01:08JdGordonamiconn: go for it, if it can be done in such a way that it can use the values from the 6x8 enum it would be best
09:01:29casper34ty
09:01:37amiconnThe icons would take away one of the precious 11 characters per line though. But then we already have that setting to enable/disable icons

09:19:49amiconnJdGordon: I think that having a macro for getting the actual icon data from the enum value (instead of explicit bitmap_icons_6x8[icon_enum_value] for bitmap) would help to simplify things
09:21:16amiconnI also think that the enum values for the 5x8 and 7x8 icons should get a different prefix than just Icon_
09:21:47amiconnThis would help making clear that they're not "normal" icons (they're all statusbar icons)

09:29:08JdGordoncharcell would be OK, recprder should probably be remved and everything put into apps/ or gui/
09:29:11amiconnThere is some code in recorder/ that doesn't actually have to do with the display type of the target, but other features

13:28:25nicolahIf I want to install rockbox & ipodlinux what's the right path ? I mean should I start installing first rockbox or ipodlinux ? thanks
13:29:11linuxstbMost people install IPL first.
13:29:26nicolahok, thanks
13:29:39nicolahcopying my .rockbox to the hd would make a nice backup ?

13:34:43safetydanI would love to know why the build sizes for sh1 and arm targets go up and down a few bytes depending on which machine built them.
13:36:33amiconnlinuxstb: Iirc on the G5 it's usually better to do one big lcd_update(_rect) than several small ones. Are there some measurements as to where the break-even is?
13:36:48nicolahlinuxstb, after installing ipl should I use the ipodpatcher provided from rockbox ?
13:37:09amiconnI'm asking because of the scroll code. Current code calls lcd_update_rect for every (actually) scrolling line separately
13:37:36amiconnIt may be better to keep track of the dirty screen area on G5, and update everything in one call instead
13:38:05amiconnThis tracking would be implemented in a rather simple way, just the boundaries of a "diry rectangle"
13:39:41amiconnThe tradeoff would be that if one scrolling line is at the top of the lcd, another one is at the bottom, and no scrolling lines in between, it would update the whole screen (but only once) instead of updating two much smaller rectangles
13:45:30bluebrothernicolah, you can use a recent Loader2 of ipl to boot Rockbox or boot ipl using the Rockbox bootloader (which is a bit more complicated to setup)
13:46:13nicolahthanks bluebrother, I wonder if I still need to use the ipodpatcher
13:46:29bluebrotheryou need ipodpatcher if you want to install the Rockbox bootloader
13:47:10nicolahsince I don't need the rockbox bootloader, I won't use the ipodpatcher
13:47:16nicolahI'll try to use the Loader2
13:47:37bluebrothermake sure you have a recent enough Loader2 −− 2.4 won't work with recent builds

13:47:59nicolahok, 2.4 is the default one in the ipodlinux installer I guess

14:00:38bluebrotheri.e. at least some 2.5, but I don't know which version exactly. The latest in known to work

14:08:06linuxstbamiconn: Sorry, but I can't remember any tests like that. The only benchmark concerning updates that I'm aware of is the 14ms figure which is the time it takes for a full-screen update to complete, and that's a figure quoted by the IPL devs. I never did any benchmarking myself. But the LcdFrameRate wiki page would seem to indicate that's the case - 1/4 screen updates are only twice as fast as full-screen updates.

14:28:29pixelma(not a 100% though)
14:28:55midkayhmm. not sure how the patch could have done that. all the other targets work, or so it'd seem

14:34:46midkaygood question. i guess the numbers are meant in such a way to be the minimum size an LCD must be to work with those tiles, so assuming a certain game board size, tile width, etc...

15:37:37mattzzObviously there is no dignated way to configure a driver because the compile order does drivers first.
15:38:38amiconnYou must not include files from apps/ in firmware code
15:39:05amiconnIf you want to change driver behaviour from application, the driver needs a setting fucntion

16:14:03Neovanglistthat is how I call it
16:14:23Neovanglistthe buffer is from plugin_get_audio_buffer
16:14:31Neovanglistthe len is the file length as a whole
16:14:37Neovanglist(it's all read into memory at once)
16:14:47Neovanglistand the callback sets the address and size to zero
16:14:49Neovanglist(when called)
16:15:00Neovanglistdoes that sound okay?
16:15:13NeovanglistI wasn't sure if I needed to offset in past some header or something
16:15:19mattzzyep, compared to metronome.c I would say yes :-)
16:15:50Neovanglistso no ideas then? :x
16:16:09NeovanglistI think the thing where mp3_is_playing() returns false after I unpause it is suspect...
16:16:13Neovanglistnot sure what I'm doing wrong there
16:16:59mattzzmaybe there is something wrong with the buffer, so what about checking with a hardcoded, pre-defined buffer?
16:17:05Neovanglisttried that

18:25:28bluebrothermaybe I should look into that again −− could save some bytes
18:26:14Nico_Pbluebrother: why not add code to the open() function to make UTF8 transparent ?
18:26:44bluebrotherNico_P, that's exactly what that patch does ;-)
18:27:16Nico_PI thought it added an open_utf8()... doesn't it ?
18:27:48bluebrotheryes, but how do you think to change open()? You can't tell if the file you are opening isn't binary
18:27:59Nico_Ptrue
18:28:18bluebrotherand if you are opening a binary file a transparent stripping of the "BOM" would create errors
18:28:57bluebrotherI think it's a better solution to have a dedicated utf8_open function instead of adding flags to open()

20:13:12webguest32Can someone in here help me with "repairing" a broken Ipod 5g 30GB?!
20:13:36LloreanWell, if it's actually broken there's not much we can do. What's wrong with it?
20:14:39webguest32I does ignore key/touchwell input. I can force it to reset with the right combination, but then I even cannot enter diag. I tried couple of times. But it just boots, but I cannot enter anything...
20:15:07webguest32I tried to reflash with the apple tools, even but rockbox in (after successfully entering disc mode ONE time).
20:15:44webguest32After reflash I thought I was fine, because it worked for a couple of days. So I had rockbox on. But now it again ignores all keyinput.
20:16:19webguest32Even more interesting: When I set key lock on and off (the slider button on top) it immediatly does a reset.
20:16:38LloreanDoes any of this happen in the original firmware?
20:17:02webguest32I am not sure if there is a hardware or software bug. But I should have got rid of a potential soft bug by reflashing, shouldnt I
20:17:14webguest32Llorean: In both firmwares
20:17:21LloreanThen yes, it's a hardware problem.
20:17:57webguest32Llorean: Or might it be a software problem in the bootloader. The part that is loaded very first?!
20:18:42webguest32Do you know of anybody giving me some advise on fixing that hardware problem? It was working for some days, but then stopped.
20:19:13LloreanIt's probably not fixable. You should restore the iPod, and see if the problem will come back without it, then go to Apple
20:20:50webguest32I restorted allready. It did not cure the problem. I bought that Ipod from Ebay having a software bug. I thought it would have been a good deal. But from what you are saying it looks like a bad deal. :-(

20:40:57LloreanWorld_Entity: There's exactly one official thread on that topic, and it pretty clearly answers that question.
20:42:13World_Entitylink? search suggestions.. No luck here. I'm not a noob and I am pretty computer savvy... No need for sharp statments.
20:42:30LloreanIn the "New Ports" forum.
20:42:42AceNik Llorean: can you tell me what kind of files are formed after the make command is given , like the files downloaded from rockbox svn are source files right
20:42:49LloreanWorld_Entity: The thread titled "Ipod 5.5G 80GB" or something very similar
20:43:02World_Entityhmmm... Thanks will check now..
20:43:05LloreanAceNik: I'm not sure what you're asking
20:43:12World_Entitywow im ashamed to say i missed that
20:44:01AceNikwell the files we downlaod from the svn are source files right ? so now when we compile , n give the make command what are the extra files formed in the build folder called ?
20:45:06LloreanAceNik: Do you mean the object files?

20:47:48AceNikya but what kinda of files are they , like compiled , or pre build , or source ?
20:48:02LloreanThere's a variety of them with different purposes.

20:56:23bluebrotherit will take up to 15 characters.
20:56:49mattzzbut it is much safer to use rb->snprintf(string, sizeof(string), ....
20:56:52bluebrotherunless you calculate the actual result including the argument values you can't tell how much space it will use.

20:57:52bluebrothera value of 10 writes as 2 characters, right?
20:58:10mattzzLlorean: you also set the severity to "low"? :-)
20:58:19bluebrotherunless you print it as hex value, which would be 0x0a, and take up 1 character if you omit the usual 0x prefix
20:58:54bluebrother(and suppress leading zeros of course)
20:59:04AceNikrb->snprintf(string, sizeof(string), .... can you give an example of this
20:59:08Lloreanmattzz: Well, I don't think scroll speed should be configurable. It should be one element per proper step, and then the UI needs to be able to handle however fast they turn the wheel
20:59:14bluebrothersnprintf is a plain ansi C function.
20:59:25LloreanBy "proper" steps, I mean what currently registers as two steps
21:00
21:00:19mattzzLlorean: I disagree because I saw some complaints on ABI about the rockbox Sansa scroll wheel being twice as fast as the OS because half steps are evaluated in rockbox.
21:00:20bluebrotheryou call it using the pointer rb because it's in a plugin.
21:00:36Lloreanmattzz: Disagree with what part of my statement?
21:00:55Lloreanmattzz: You just said 'It's moving twice as many steps right now" and I said "It should move half as many steps, but not be configurable from that"
21:01:29mattzzLlorean: why not make it configurable for people who like it fast and for people who like it slower?
21:01:58LloreanPeople who like it fast can simply move their finger faster, or use paged scroll (which probably isn't set up for wheel targets yet)

21:02:33LloreanIf you make it move multiple entries per step (IE any faster than it does now) then it becomes difficult to stop on a single object.
21:02:43AceNik rb->snprintf(string, 15, "%d %s", filesize, unit); how does this statement interpret what values its getting as in the size of the file is in bytes , or MB, or kB

21:03:45bluebrotherthis statement prints the values you calculated first. It does not know about the units.

21:09:44mattzzHm, I understand what you are saying. On the other hand one thing I like about rockbox is to give users the freedom to configure settings. It is what makes rockbox a lot different from other firmwares. The wheel is one of the key user interfaces.
21:11:07LloreanI just don't see that as being that useful at all once the UI is working properly
21:11:21LloreanMaking it any more sensitive than half of what it is now makes it frustrating to use
21:11:31LloreanMaking it any less than that could just be the same as moving the wheel slowly
21:12:45mattzzI think it is still quite usefull having only a quarter of samples evaluated.
21:13:11LloreanWhy?
21:15:07mattzzBecause it is not so slow that I would call it frustrating to use. Imagine people who are not used to dial a wheel very fast. It ends up in three settings: slow, mid (what you and I are suggesting) and high (what is currently in the driver). Slow is still OK for me.
21:15:31LloreanBut what actual use does it have?
21:15:47LloreanYou have to dial the wheel more just to cover the same distance.
21:15:58LloreanAnd since the wheel has actual stopping points, there's not a precision issue
21:16:04LloreanIt seems like wasted binary size.
21:16:37LloreanI just don't see a "problem" the option actually solves.
21:17:05LloreanBlind users can navigate fine with "medium" since one "step" of the wheel lines up with one changed line in the US

23:35:11Wabbais there any way to manually specify font size in rockbox?
23:35:20Wabbaor are you just stuck with whatever size font is in the package
23:35:36Wabbabecause I really like snap, but it seems to be a little too small to work well with the theme I use
23:36:04Wabbaand I can't find any other sizes to download, nor an option in the rockbox menu to change it
23:36:14midkayno, fonts come in only one size.
23:36:15markunWabba: the fonts are bitmap fonts, you cannot change their size
23:36:28Wabbaah ok
23:36:31qwedsawhere can i find the button names?
23:36:35midkaythe only option is to re-compile the font at a larger size, but you'd have to find the original and go through a process..
23:36:49WabbaI'm not leet enough to be messing around recompiling stuff tbh

23:41:30midkayqwedsa: ah, that works too.. although you'll have to look through a little more carefully to make sure you know them all. with the firmware/target button.h files it's a concise, complete list.

23:47:56peturwhat now? ;)
23:49:18*amiconn tries to get his head around unicode-aware word wrapping
23:49:24markun:)
23:49:57markunamiconn: are you reading a particlar document?
23:50:01amiconnThis is complex stuff, and the reference implementation needs a lare table
23:50:07amiconn*large
23:50:40markunwhat's so complex about it?

23:52:25*petur types 'unicode word wrapping' in google and sees sample code (in python :) )

23:53:42amiconnpetur: Yes found that as well. But it only looks like gibberish to me
23:54:38amiconnSo far I wasn't able to find anything that does more than latin-centric "break at a space" and does *not* need the mentioned table
23:54:46 Part toffe82
23:55:56amiconnI know that rockbox' unicode implementation is far from complete (e.g. we don't handle combining marks, and doing that with just bitmap fonts will be next to impossible), so I don't want to go over the top and implement the full thing here
23:56:42amiconnBut I also don't want word wrapping to break completely for e.g. chinese or arabic etc
23:56:47markunamiconn: don't you think that break-at-space will give good results in most cases?
23:57:19amiconnIt should be good enough to be reusable in multiple places, e.g. splash(), text viewer etc
23:58:15amiconnI found something a bit more promising regarding a somewhat obsure "bytext" standard, but that algorithm also uses a table
