== Replacing wiki pages? ==

Is this going to replace the application pages in this wiki? I think it should.

'''Page is now unprotected and moved to the application name space.'''[[User:Rboatright|rboatright]] 04:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

why is this page protected? I think we should follow [[wikipedia:WP:NO-PREEMPT]].

Quality control by sysops. --[[User:Templarian|Templarian]] 22:44, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

are you saying that only sysops are capable of quality?

also, it says it's a discussion page. how can it be if it's protected?

—[[user:X1011|X1011]] 09:27, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

- Agreed with all suggestions in this section, and they are now reflected in the article. --[[User:Templarian|Templarian]] 02:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

For "preware.org/feed/xml/application/23/" since it shares id's, couldn't it just be "/xml/23/". --[[user:Templarian|Templarian]]

== GUI Addition: Version# and Changelog ==

Idea: Add a small "Details" or "+" button on the app and plugins pages. It can go at the end of the description, or possibly to the right of the very large "Install/Delete" button. It may not be wanted though. I know we don't want to show version numbers on the app page, but I'd love to have some way to access the version number and changelog from within the Preware app, even if its semi-hidden. I read the results of Rick's papercraft gui study, and agree with a lot of the comments, but I still feel like this is something that would be helpful to have available somewhere in the app, even if it isn't immediately obvious how to get to it (since its not something that is necessarily required by the average user). --[[User:Zinge|Zinge]] 02:29, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Changes reflected in the Preware Application mockup image. --[[User:Templarian|Templarian]] 02:46, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Looks good, but we may want to change the "list" icon to something that look less like "go back to the app list". My suggestions are- are lowercase "i" or the "+" symbol. Any better ideas? --[[User:Zinge|Zinge]] 02:56, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

lowercase i is the correct icon, I changed it to reflect that in the mockup. --[[User:Templarian|Templarian]] 03:11, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

== button resizing ==

For the first screenshot I think it would be best if we made it so that the buttons resize. No scrolling in any form even if there notifications below it. --[[user:Templarian|Templarian]]

== License id ==

Do you think we should put the versions next to all of them to be consistent? --[[User:Templarian|Templarian]] 02:33, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

what is the purpose of having a license id? —[[user:X1011|X1011]] 04:51, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Since the Preware app is listed for Open Source projects it was mentioned it would be nice to have it listed on the information button (which may be moved to a drop down at the right of the top title). Really treating the info screen as the information normal users do not care about seeing immediately. The license id is just a standard id that will never change. --[[User:Templarian|Templarian]] 14:12, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

are you saying the name of a license is likely to change? i doubt that. if you must have a license id, though, just make it a number like all the other ids. —[[user:X1011|X1011]] 04:35, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Yea, probably change that to a number sometime. --[[User:Templarian|Templarian]] 05:29, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

== Features and Suggestions ==

Adding some suggestions... --[[User:Czar|Czar]] 14:16, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
* Remove (or mark) already installed applications in the Available Applications category.

Adding some suggestions... --[[User:Decimation|Decimation]] 15:14, 17 August 2009 (EST)
* Show a progress bar or some sort of notification of the download/installation progress of an app..it would really be nice to have some feedback after clicking install.
* Change the pop up dialog when an app is installed/removed... it's kinda ugly. Maybe show a notification at the bottom? That would be pretty cool.

Adding some suggestions... -- (xorg)
* Option to sort complete app list by newest first (as filecoaster does)
* Descriptions of each app

Adding some suggestions...for way into the future -- (s4mb4)
* a process that would hook into the notification system to notify of available updates.

== Issues 0.5 first public release ==
* Was working fine first several updates over several hours. Now for last day, just get spinning 'Updating' at startup.

* seems 0.5.1 corrected that.

I have succsefully installed and configued rTorrent.

== prerequisites ==

1. root access

2. http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Next_steps

3. http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Tutorials_Linux_DDNS_for_EVDO

'''If you have the prerequisites taken care of, login and do the following.....'''

sudo -i

ipkg-opt install rtorrent

plus install the 3 optional components. adduser, screens....

then, create an .rtorrent.rc file.
i placed mine in my home directory. /var/home/s4mb4/.rtorrent.rc

here is the config file;

----------------------------------------
min_peers = 40

max_peers = 100

min_peers_seed = -1

max_peers_seed = 50

max_uploads = 15

download_rate = 0

upload_rate = 1

directory = /media/internal/ringtones/

session = /media/internal/ringtones/

schedule = watch_directory,10,10,load_start=/media/internal/ringtones/*.torrent

schedule = tied_directory,10,10,start_tied=/media/internal/ringtones/*.torrent

schedule = untied_directory,10,10,close_untied=/media/internal/ringtones/*.torrent

ip = my.dynamic.hostname

bind = my.dynamic.hostname

port_range = 6881-6900

check_hash = yes

use_udp_trackers = yes
------------------------------------------

start it up by running;

sudo -i

rtorrent -n -o import=/var/home/s4mb4/.rtorrent.rc

-------------------------------------------

an alternative to issuing the command above is to link or copy the .rtorrent.rc file to the directory where you launch rtorrent from. Since after login and issuing the sudo -i command i always end up at;

root@castle:/var/home/root#

i just did the following;

ln /var/home/s4mb4/.rctorrent.rc .rtorrent.rc

then just run the command;

rtorrent
