Can Dropbox be installed now?
If the new firmware supports multitasking, would it be possible to install a full-blown Dropbox client on Pocketbook? I could use it to synchronize notes made in Scribble during meetings or lectures so I wouldn't lose them.
And also, do you know any alternatve to Scribble app that would be more functional, for example would make it possible to change background? Last edited by avg_user; 10-17-2011 at 10:03 AM. |

Scribble
In addition to above, you can extend Scribble Manager by calling the convert tool (ported by ava1ar and included in Scribble Manager also) with proper arguments to change the background, for example.
I am also looking for a way to synchronize my notes... Last edited by bogomil; 10-17-2011 at 11:34 AM. Reason: extend |

How can I enter /mnt/ext1 directory? I created it in the main Pocket903 directory. However, when I try to open an application it says "Cannot start program"

Actually, it is /mnt/ext1/ dir. Unfortunatelly, I have tested it on 2.0.6/2.1.0. Try to run it from poterm and send the output.

Ok, I managed to start notes.app. Unfortunately, when I start scribble.app in the same dir I get:
Atached mp shm: id 0 addr 40305000 size 17256 Atached fb shm: id 8001 addr 40389000 size 1006864 scribble.app: symbol lookup error: scribble.app: undefinied symbol: iv_get_default_font Do you think it may be bacause of obsolete firmware? |

Yes, I think so, scribble.app is from 2.1.0 firmware. Please, copy scribble.app from your applications directory in My pictures and try again. Do not use other projects, except main. If it is ok, please, provide your version of scribble.app and I will adapt the tool to your firmware.
@paola: thanks |

First of all, thank you very much for your help. I copied my scribble.app as u said and it worked, I saw 3 pictures. I uploaded my scribble.app it as u wish. I think I should upgrade to the newest firmware for my convenience.
Can you explain me in more details how to change background, can I change it to lines or squares and then write on it like with a paper notebook? Still no words on Dropbox or any other way to synchronize notes, it's a pity, as then making notes on Pocketbook not only would be as comfortable as on a paper notebook, but even much better. |

! Please, do not change the size and the color depth of new.bmp. ! Please note, if you use notes tool, add new notes and delete them only from the tool, but not from the scribble app, else it will cause inconsistency between the pictures and there titles/tags/links. - Another one - introducing `create new note from a template` in my tool. - Regarding to convert app, used by the tool, you can consult from these sites (it is a port of ImageMagick convert utility): ImageMagick Convert Command-line Tool Examples of ImageMagick Usage Fred's ImageMagick Scripts I did not manage to make scripts which include text rendering yet. When I stabilize the current functionality I will think about a way to sync notes with a PC. Last edited by bogomil; 10-20-2011 at 09:22 AM. |

The version adapted to 2.1.2 firmware is almost ready and I will publish it next week. More options for managing was introduced so using some notes as templates can be emulate more easy.
I still not think about synchronizing. Regarding to dropbox, probably wget should be used in one direction. I found a script (Dropbox Uploader), which is suitable for the uploading, but it requires cURL app, which is missing on PB. I hope it is easy for porting because there is libcurl.so in PB libs, which probably contains the core cURL functionality. Just we should ask someone from this forum or russian one to port it.
