Problems using a great program
Hi all and thanks for plucker! 2 Problems: 1) After putting the newsfeed channels to my Palm, which works great, plucker does not respond any more (Ctrl-C). 2) When retrieving the channels, I have to move my mouse inside the plucker window so that the progress is shown (sic!). Crazy bug!

Program Exception in viewer
I just got my first exception ever in the viewer today. It requires a soft reset and is very repeatable. Only one page in the 600k pdb appears to do this. If anyone is interested in taking a look at it, I'll email it along with instructions on how to reproduce exception.

I'm interested in taking a closer look at it, but I don't want to receive a 600k Plucker document by mail ;-) If you, as David pointed out, could file a bug report that would be the best solution. It makes it easier to track any changes and in the future I will probably make it a requirement for the viewer maintenance, i.e. no changes to a stable version of the viewer (or beta version) will be allowed unless they are connected to a bug report/feature request at bugs.plkr.org. /Mike ___ plucker-dev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.rubberchicken.org/mailman/listinfo/plucker-dev

Re: Can't determine image size from output of ImageMagick 'identify' program

Can't determine image size from output of ImageMagick 'identify' program
2 collected, 7 to do Processing http://www.teamlambchop.com/stats/images/graphs/1000.gif... Retrieved ok. Running: identify -ping C:\DOCUME~1\Greg\LOCALS~1\Temp\~2556-1 Error: Runtime error parsing document http://www.teamlambchop.com/stats/images/ graphs/1000.gif: Can't determine image size from output of ImageMagick 'identify ' program: Parsing failed. 2 collected, 6 to do What am I doing wrong here? The identify program exists in the same location as the convert.exe program. Convert.exe seems to work. I tried re-downloading Image Magick (the precompiled binaries for Win2k - ImageMagick-win2k.zip), but I am still having the same problem. I looked in the plucker.ini for any settings for identify, but didn't find any. If there's any more info I could give to help answer this question, I'd be glad to give it. Thanks, -Greg M New York, USA
Re: This Program....
I'm sorry, but is this meant to be a request for help or a general rant? It's very hard to read. If you have specific problems understanding the documentation for the Windows plucker, I'm sure that someone who knows will help. Plucker is still under heavy development and not ready for world domination yet, I'm afraid. If you send useful help (eg specific questions) or money or hardware to the developers, it will improve faster. That's the way these things work. It's an end to spoon-feeding and the start of a partnership.
Re: This Program....
The file you are looking at under edit using the notepad is an html file. Either you will need to learn some html (not very hard, but the syntax is very specific) or use a product like Frontpage to edit this file. When you choose the hotsync option it will use this page to fetch your web pages from the internet, convert them, and send them to a special directory from which they get installed on your Palm at the next hotsync. I agree there's a lot of stuff that should be hidden from users, but it's still a development effort. Perhaps you could list the things that you'd rather not see so we can work on them? The html file you edit needs to contain the pages you want to see (actually links to them). They should be of the form: pa href=http://www.slashdot.org/palm/; maxdepth=4 stayonhostSlashdot/a/p Where the link is inside the href= stuff. That's the link on your address bar when you are browsing the web. The Slashdot near the end is what you will see on the Palm. maxdepth just means only go this deep (4 links) from the page you link to. Generally this should be 2 or 3. The higher the number, the more pages will be captured. Plucker will follow all the links it sees on the initial page to a maximum of this number. stayonhost means when a link would take you off the site (http://www.slashdot.org/ in my example), don't follow it. This way you tend to avoid ads and things like that. I would start with a simple link first. You can cut copy my link above and make changes to it. You can delete everything else in the html page that comes up when you select edit on the menu. It's just a default page. Add a line similar to mine above for each page you want to capture (or each site really). Set the maxdepth at 2 for now and see how it comes out on the Palm. Feel free to email the group with further questions.

How in gods name am I suppose to work this program! There's so much junk that you have to do. I have Windows ME that mean that I am suppose to download the version for windows. You also have a new installer release 1.1.11SR1 now you have 1.1.12. I used the first one and there is no way in hell I can understand all those symbols and letters. When I go into plucker from startup and open edit db and setup, I get a notepad full of mumbo jumbo. What is this. please tell me. All I wanted was to get a program that takes files from off the web and transfer it into my handheld. But this program is not simple. Not everyone can use it. Even the instructions are hard because half the terms I have no idea what they mean (ex.) maxdepth, parsar, python, html, href=, anchor, I have no clue what this stuff means nor where to find them. I don't even know if I have all the necessary tools and programs. What do I need besides the installer for windows? Do I need python, I see it in the startup with the plucker program but its just the website and all about python. For some reason though when I hotsynced my handheld, my handheld has the plucker home page on it. It wasn't there before. This is cool even though I have no idea how it got there. The only bad thing
RE: This Program....
As much as I hate to admit it, you're probably much better off using AvantGo. Go to http://www.avantgo.com and have fun - they've got lots of channels and a nice, simple interface. This is the development list, please take this to plucker-list, not the development list. Keep the noise and spam/flames out of this list, please.

Yes, provided you don't do something that would break the GPL. I would be distributing the reader freely You *have to* release it under GPL, make the source code with your modifications available for everyone that has got the binary (unless you include the source code with the binary). Don't forget to include a copy of the GPL (that is also a requirement when you distribute a binary version of the app). I also request that you change the creator ID when you change the name of the app. If that is okay, how much credit must I give. You will have to do your own homework and figure out what you have to do to live up to the GPL. The only clue I will give you is that we still have the copyright to the program. That will not change just because you change the name of the app. /Mike

Re: A Question About Editing Your Program
I have a question. Can I change the program and call it something different for my school such as MYSchool Doc Reader? As long as you don't submit it as your homework and say you wrote it as a homework assignment for your C.S. class, that'd be fine. If this is not possible, would it be possible to change the programs name and say it was BASED on The Plucker etc etc. As long as you give credit to the authors of the pieces you use, you would be within the limit of the law so-to-speak. Removing any copyright notices (i.e. in the source code headers, etc.) is not allowed, so those must remain. /d
A Question About Editing Your Program
I have a question. Can I change the program and call it something different for my school such as MYSchool Doc Reader? I would be distributing the reader freely and if I charged for anything it would be for the school information downloaded into the reader...NOT the reader itself. If this is not possible, would it be possible to change the programs name and say it was BASED on The Plucker etc etc. If that is okay, how much credit must I give. Thank you for reading this.
