Wouldn't the appropriate way to address this be to have a PDA-syncing application that could work with their Nokia, Apple, Google, RIM, and yes, Palm, devices? Having a Palm-only syncing application included by default still leaves the majority of PDA smartphone users stuck trying to find a way to make their device work. Okay, I'll take up your strawman. Supposing there is an equivalently featureful, unbranded sync app, then your proposal makes sense. Have you checked whether opensync has incorporated the support? The Palm sync legacy tools (gpilot and kpilot, and standalone apps like jpilot) not only do a PIM sync, but also do a full backup of apps and data, and can be used to install files to the Palm device, similarly to the Palm Desktop application. These features were not supported by the opensync palm plugin last time I checked, and it's a serious feature loss that Palm users are usually used to depend on (as seen from xkcd.com, wikipedian protester: citation needed, ymmv). But I agree that the general 'one lib to rule them all' approach from opensync is the best thing in the long run. It's just not there yet. And apparently the development is slow, considering 0.22 is still the stable release as recommended by the opensync site. regards FF -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: translating the categories in the totem BBC plugin or not?
Timo Jyrinki [2009-03-06 13:06 +0200]: I'd think it's enough that the actual titles are in English. [...] But in either case, because of the titles being in English, I don't see much reason to worry about being mislead. Also like Adi just wrote, it can be left for translator teams to decide, which means keeping the L10n possibility. +1 Martin -- Martin Pitt| http://www.piware.de Ubuntu Developer (www.ubuntu.com) | Debian Developer (www.debian.org) -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
Re: Replacing network-offline (old version 2xmonitor) with NM wlan 0% signal strength icon

The new icon is very deceiving, making me think I have my WiFi On, but with no signal. I rather have the old icon back.
