Quick update with rasher’s page. I don’t have my usual access to input/transliterate to traditional chinese, so only simpified version for now.

Added the new strings for both simp and trad.

Also fixed the voice part of simp: a lots of cut and paste (not by me manually of course), and did some simple fixes like removing punctuation and adding “吗” to end of question. I don’t know of any Chinese voice synthesizer nor (obviously) used any, so further tweaking of the voice strings is probably needed.

I will probably do the same for the trad file, but I’m too lazy now - plus one can always get the voice from either file since simplified and traditional chinese correspond to the same sound (not speaking of the various dialects, of course…)

Okay, finally have some time off during Thanksgiving, so here are the translations (courtesy still to rasher’s tool). This time should be fine since I did not “translate” the trad from the simp file out of laziness. My previous patch  FS#7866  should be deleted.

Currently if you have a song with really long tag (some of my classical music are tagged with long names because they need more description), its tag info get truncated when displayed in wps and when being scanned for the database. (i.e. I got “Piano Trio No.1 in B, Op.8 - I. Allegr” instead of the full name “Piano Trio No.1 in B, Op.8 - I. Allegro con brio”).

Before MoB I just bump up the “ID3V2_BUF_SIZE” define in id3.h, but after MoB that gives me data abort errors. Since now that the tag data are not statically alloted, I think it is a valid request for us users with long tag data to have all our information processed and displayed. Also, if we can spare spaces for (potentially) large album arts, I don’t see why an extra 100-200 bytes of spaces cannot be given to the text information in tags.

Many thanks and kudos always for the good work.

updated translations.

Currently tagtree.c parses everything from tagnavi file(s), which is unnecessary because once a root menu is found, nothing more is needed since only the first root menu is used and anything used by that should be defined before the root_menu statement.

So I basically tell the parser to stop as soon as a valid root_menu is set. Obviously this fix is not a big deal, but the parser annoys me because it produces a lots of useless logf’s when I tried to debug my own custom_tagnavi file that sets a different root menu.

I also removed a obsolete comment (the syntax in that comment is out of date).

chinese simp and trad translation and a patch (should patch at the rbutil folder) that adds the translations. I put “zh” for both in the xml file, but I don’t know how rbutil finds out what the language names are, and I don’t know if there is a separate code for chinese simp and trad, AND I don’t have the tools to build rbutil. So the point is, the patch (not the translations themselves, obviously) probably needs more work but I don’t know where or how.

Did a regex search and fixed untranslated strings. Now the translation should be complete.

This is an automatically converted version of traditional chinese translation with some small fixes by me. It’s hard to keep up the two versions of Chinese unless I translate everything twice (which is no fun at all…), so I post here a clean version. The only drawback I see is that there are slightly different expressions used in the current chinese-trad translation that will be lost in this new version, so users of the current version might find slightly different phrases (but still the same meaning) from the ones they were used to. I personally think this is still better than a lots of missing strings.

If you are using the chinese-trad translation, please test this out and tell me if there are any radically changed expressions, and I can fix those more easily than unscramble the current translation.

Added some new strings and fixed a previously untranslated string.

It’s a very small UI tweak. The current ID3 info screen in WPS context menu crowds information in two line blocks, which is quite hard to read, especially when line selector is not inverse bar. I add a third line and make the list selects three-line blocks. I don’t know if the current ID3 screen is voiced or if I break anything voicing in that screen. I wrote this patch for myself and hope it might be helpful for people who read the ID3 screen a lots.

Ran out of time now… Will translate more after this is committed.

This makes the behavior of “view current playlist” and “save current playlist” more consistent when the dynamic playlist has finished playing.

See  FS#7624 . IMHO it makes more sense if the dynamic playlist exists until reboot or replaced by another.

Else the behavior of “view current playlist” is (should) not be changed.

Patch  FS#7626  needs to be applied first, otherwise the playlist entered via “view current playlist” will exit itself immediately with a message “End of Song List”.

Currently when you do contextmenu - playlist - view, the playlist will open but closes immediately if you are not playing anything (play/pause) with error/info message “End of Song List”.

This turns out to be a bug in playlist_viewer.c, where a function that accepts an external filepath to open playlist checks for playing state, and if not playing/paused, exit and closes the playlist immediately.

I removed the part that checks for playing state since it’s not actually needed except for one small later check.

This should fix  FS#7413 .

I tested it with my ipod 60GB, but no reason why it should not work on other targets as well. Comment below if you find anything wrong/no working as expected.

ipod 60GB, build from 8-8-07 (or 8-9-07) r14278M-070810

From context menu, choose “Open With” and text_editior, an error message is shown: “can’t open /.rockbox/rocks/rocks/text_editor.rock” The path obviously is not where text_editor.rock is.

p.s. I should have tried the newest build, but recent commits do not seem pertaining to this problem, so I’m being lazy…
